It would be curious to discover who it is to whom one writes in a diary. Possibly to some mysterious personification of one's own identity. -Beatrice Webb

Procedure: Installing Windows 7 on Xanon's Laptop

...
Problem 1:
- it seemed that windows 7 ultimate can not boot when there are 5 partitions present

Solution 1:

1. Booted from an Ubuntu Live DVD
2. Extracted the necessary drivers to an external HDD

1. Partition the hard drive so that there will be a 2nd partition for saving data
2. Install Windows 7 with the usual options + Specific Drivers
3. Setup Portable Apps @2nd partition
  3.1 Firefox Portable with plug-ins
4. Setup Usual Applications
  4.1. Install McAfee Enterprise
  4.2. 7 zip
  4.3. MS Office 2007
  4.4. Yahoo Messenger 8
  4.5. Nokia PC Suite (for her phone)
5. Update the AntiVirus
6. Update Windows
7. Norton Ghost the current setup for quick restoration in the future.
...

Procedure: Specifying the size of PAGEFILE.SYS

Problem:
1. You just installed Windows XP on a 4GB Asus EEE PC and almost immediately got the message "Low Disk Space at Drive C" and you find that you have a 1.5GB Pagefile.sys on your C root.

Procedure:
1. Start ==> Control Panel ==> System
2. Click Advanced Tab
3. Under Performance, Click Settings

  • today was rather unproductive, or at least not as productive as I had hope it would be. i woke up late. i was able to answer 120/300 questions I had in mind. I was able to fiddle with my sister's second hand laptop for a number of hours. installed windows 7 on my brother's laptop. managed to answer up to problem 90 with Sam. also managed to talk with my mom for more than the usual few minutes. it would seem that i have accomplished a lot but i was actually procrastinating. i wasn't really able to clear my big rocks. :)

    Backing Up My Mom's Laptop

    ...
    Here are a few steps I'd like to remember and recycle should the need arise


    Procedure:
    1. Start > Run > "recent"
    2. Note the different file extentsions used (*.doc, *.xls, etc)
    3. Install 7zip (or have a portable copy), if you dont have one already. LINK1
    4. Start > Run > "cmd" ==> Command Prompt Opens
    5. On Command Prompt, 7z a -r x:/ownername-backup.7z c:\*.doc c:\xls c:\*.mp3 ...

    Advantage of this approach:
    1. accessing "recent" items gives you a good idea of what file extension she uses.
    2. 7z (command line 7zip) recursively searches the drive for your data, eliminating manually traversing her directory tree.
    3. 7z maintains the directory structure. it makes it easier for them to find their data after restoration.

    Optional Considerations:
    1. you may use WinDirStat Portable (LINK2) to analyze the disk usage and identify the biggest directories.
    2. in case, it has become difficult to use the default Windows Explorer, Free Commander Portable (LINK3) can become a very powerful shell replacement.
