Summary

1

Yahoo is your Online Free Treasure Room! An outstanding search engine (especially for "official" websites), it also provides a cornucopia of free services: free email, maps, Yellow Pages, games, shopping, news, finance, sports, live chat -- the list just goes on and on and on! By far (in our opinion), Yahoo is the best site on the Web!

2

We believe Google is simply the best tool on the Web for finding just about anything (except possibly "official" websites). It is screamingly fast, sleek, streamlined, and as comprehensive as a search tool can be.

3

Amazon is nothing less than a revolution in how the world shops. It is a huge step forward in the achievement of an ideal competitive market. It is user-friendly, vast, and reliable.

4

Install Windows from a USB drive

Install Windows from a USB drive



One might need to reinstall an operating system from time to time, but

the netbooks and ultra-portable laptops gaining popularity today have

no optical drives.





What do you do when there is no optical drive in your PC and you want

to install a new operating system on it? Before you invest in an

external drive, we will tell you about a more cost-effective solution.

Why not install Windows XP or Windows Vista from a USB flash drive

instead? All you need are the following items:

A desktop or laptop with Windows XP/Vista (according to the OS

required to be dumped onto the USB flash drive).

An optical drive in the PC.

The original Windows XP or Vista installation disk.

A 1 GB or 4 GB USB flash drive for Windows XP/Vista respectively.

A software called 'Komku-SP-usb.exe' (for the Windows XP part) which

can be downloaded from 'http://www.mediafire.com/?zlvkwwzmjmt'.

Alternatively, you can avail of the utilities from this month's CHIP

DVD or search for these on http://download.chip.asia.

This step-by-step workshop will be in two phases—Windows Vista and Windows XP.

Installing Windows XP from a USB flash drive

Step 1: Download the software 'Komku-SP-usb.exe' from the websites

mentioned earlier and execute it. The executable file will extract the

necessary utilities to a folder called 'C:komku'.



Step 2: Once the package has been extracted, go to the folder

'C:komkuPeToUSB' using Windows Explorer. Execute the file

'PeToUSB.exe'. Plug in the USB flash drive and make sure you choose

the following (see image below) before clicking the start button.

Select 'USB removable', 'Enable Disk Format', 'Quick format', 'Enable

LBA (Fat 16x)' and finally give the drive a name under 'Drive Label'.

Once it's done, click start to let the utility format the drive.



Step 3: Next you will need to start the command prompt. Click 'Start |

Run', type 'cmd' and press [Enter]. Then go to the 'bootsect'

directory by typing the command 'cd C:komkubootsect' and pressing

[Enter]. Now type the command 'bootsect /nt52 F:' and press [Enter].

(The 'F:' is the USB flash drive letter represented in 'My Computer'.

Check to verify the drive letter used by your USB flash drive). Let

the utility do the needful. Do not exit the Command Prompt yet.



Step 4: Now you will need to change to the directory 'Usb_Prep8' by

using the command 'cd C:komkuusb_prep8' and pressing [Enter]. Here

execute the command 'usb_prep8' and press [Enter]. Press any key to

continue and you will see a welcome screen with a menu appear in the

Command Prompt.



Step 5: Now at this stage, you will have to insert the Windows XP

installation disk into your optical drive. At the Command Prompt menu,

type '1' and press [Enter]. A new popup will appear asking you to

choose the location (path) of the Windows installation disk. Select

the optical drive and click 'OK'. Next choose '2' from the menu and

change the drive letter to any drive letter which has not been taken.

It is drive 'T:' by default and you can ignore this step unless you do

have a 'T:' drive on your computer.

After this, choose '3' from the menu and enter the drive letter of

your USB flash drive (in this case it would be 'F'). Finally choose

'4' from the menu and press [Enter]. Wait for a few seconds for the

process to complete and you will see a prompt to allow the utility to

format the USB flash drive. Type 'Y' and then press [Enter] at this

stage to let the utility proceed and install the necessary files from

the Windows XP installation disk to the USB flash drive. This process

will take a few minutes and depends on the speed of the flash drive.



Step 6: After the files are copied, you will see a popup window asking

you for permission to copy files from the temp drive to the USB flash

drive. Select 'Yes'.



Step 7: Next there will be another popup window asking you to allow

the utility to change the boot drive letter of the USB flash drive

from 'F:' to 'U:'. Select 'Yes'.



Step 8: Finally, after all the processes are complete, you will see

yet another popup window asking if you want to unmount the virtual

drive. Select 'Yes'. Exit the Command Prompt now and you will see that

your flash drive is ready to install Windows XP to another computer.

To install Windows XP to the computer, you will have to go to the BIOS

and enable the option of booting from a USB removable device. This

option is usually found under the boot sequence menu of the BIOS. Plug

in the USB drive to the computer before you turn it on. Now your

computer will boot from the USB flash drive and will be ready to

install Windows XP. Follow the necessary steps to install Windows XP

and your computer will be up, raring and ready to go and running

Windows in no time.

AIRTEL FREE NET

A little hack found on the forums on about how to access the net from a pc using a mobile with Airtel prepaid card. Enjoy!

Raw Materials: PC/Laptop and necessary connectivity tools ,ie.,

Serial/USB cable OR Infrared Device OR Bluetooth dongle to connect the mobile to the computer......

Facts abt katrina kaif

Born on July 16, 1984 Katrina Kaif is one of eight siblings, all girls, from a mother who is a Caucasian of British Nationality, and a father who was formerly from Kashmir, India, but who has since acquired British citizenship.

Katrina grew up in Hawaii, but was brought up in London, UK. She started modeling accidentally when she was in Hawaii at the tender age of 14, when she was approached for a jewelery campaign. Thereafter she continued modeling in London.

Continuing to model was the reason she got her break in a Bollywood movie “Boom” offered by film-maker Kaizad Gustad...............



She was flooded with modeling assignments the minute she set her foot on Indian soil, especially with her innocent expressive face, hour-glass figure, and drop-dead gorgeous looks.

bio2Professionally she started off as a model with photographer Atul Kasbekar, and upon being accepted, she received offers from LG, Cola, Fevicol, Lakme, & Veet. It was the Lakme commercial that got her noticed. She retained Matrix as her Manager to accept work on her behalf and at the price she deserved.

Moving to different culture and country was not much of a culture shock for her, as she states that no matter where you come from, the bottom line is that everyone wants to be loved, respected, and cared for.

bio1Unlike other artistes from foreign lands, Katrina did not experience any difficulties in getting a visa nor of getting it extended in India.

Although linguistically challenged, Katrina puts on a bold face and states that other Bollywood artistes like Sridevi, who did not know Hindi, did get offers from Bollywood film-makers, and she is no different. She is taking Hindi and dancing lessons to fit in with the Bollywood culture. She likes to display a picture of her learning Kathak dancing where she used to dance 7 hours a day non-stop.

Despite of her soft gorgeous looks, she is not easily intimidated, but admits that she is very emotional, almost an incurable romantic, wears comfortable non-revealing clothes when at home, hates to do her hair, and above all dislikes make-up. Admitting to being lonely in the beginning, but now has several nice friends who she can hang out with.

bio4At first, filmmakers were hesitant to sign her because of her linguistic shortcomings. Katrina saw success with the 2005 film Sarkar where she played the brief role of Abhishek Bachchan’s love interest. Her next release, Maine Pyaar Kyun Kiya, where in she was paired opposite Salman Khan. In 2007 Katrina’s first release was the hit movie Namastey London, wherein she starred as a British Indian alongside Akshay Kumar for the second time after Humko Deewana Kar Gaye that was a box office dud.

##tips & tricks for online bank account##

Online banking fraud is on the rise and there are a number of ways you can protect your credit card and bank accounts if you transact over the internet:...........



  • keep your computer secure and the access to it;

  • don't send credit card or account details by e-mail;

  • reject any email that asks you to follow a link to website and input account details for verification - even if the website looks authentic, its probably a fake replica

  • make sure you log out of your online account when finished - especially at work, libraries and net cafes

  • deal only with established and reputable merchants;

  • only make payments to secure websites - look for the padlock symbol in the bottom-right of your browser and click for details

  • if using a new site, do business first in a small way;

  • check your accounts and report discrepancies immediately;

  • ignore the "remember my password option" on banking and shopping sites

  • change your password regularly;

  • cancel any card that has been used fraudulently;

  • read a company's privacy policy before buying online
