Error occurs with PartitionMagic 8.0
Error occurs with PartitionMagic 8.0
If you encounter Error 1516 with PartitionMagic 8, first run CHKDSK /F on the affected partition. For instructions on how to run CHKDSK, read How to Run Microsoft’s CHKDSK from the Command Line. If this does not fix the error, try running PartitionMagic with the /IFC switch, which causes file system errors to be ignored.
To run PartitionMagic with the /IFC switch
1. Boot from the first PartitionMagic rescue disk.
2. When you are prompted to insert the second rescue disk, press Ctrl+C to drop to the command (A:>) prompt.
3. Insert the second PartitionMagic rescue disk and type the following:
pqmagic /ifc
4. Press Enter.
create (make): sudo su -

If you are connecting to a Unix/Linux server, you can specify following command as custom shell on the SCP/Shell tab of Login dialog:
sudo su -
You can do this only if you are allowed to do sudo su without being prompted with password. See sudo documentation to learn how to do that. For example you can add following line to sudoers file (/etc/sudoers):
yourusername ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
Note that as WinSCP does not allocate TTY, you need to have sudoers option requiretty turned off (what is default).
64-bit Computing with Intel EM64T and AMD AMD64
http://www.redbooks.ibm.com/abstracts/tips0475.html
Note that while IA64, EM64T, and AMD64 are all 64-bit, they are not compatible:
- EM64T and AMD64 are, with the exception of a few instructions such as 3DNOW, binary compatible with each other. Applications written and compiled for one will usually run at full speed on the other.
- IA64 uses a completely different instruction set to the other two. 64-bit applications written for the Itanium 2 will not run on the EM64T or AMD64 processors, and vice versa. Read the rest of this entry »

A discussion about the Bootcfg command and its uses
INTRODUCTION
This article discusses the bootcfg command and its uses.
MORE INFORMATION
The bootcfg command is a Microsoft Windows XP Recovery Console command that manipulates the Boot.ini file. This command has a function that can scan your hard disks for Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, Microsoft Windows 2000, and Windows XP installations, and then add them to an existing Boot.ini file. The function can also rebuild a new Boot.ini file if one does not exist. With the bootcfg command, additional Boot.ini file parameters can be added to existing or new entries.
To use the bootcfg command, start the Recovery Console with the Windows XP CD-ROM, and then click Recovery Console. Or, install the Recovery Console locally, and then select the command from the Boot menu.
The bootcfg command has the following uses:
| • | The bootcfg /default command sets the default operating system option in the Boot menu. The command selects the operating system entry automatically. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| • | The bootcfg /add command scans the computer for Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP (if it is dual booting) installations, and then displays the results. From this location, you can add an installation to the Boot menu.
You may receive a message that is similar to the following message: Total Identified Windows Installs: 2 [1] C:\Windows Select installation to add: (select a number) Enter Load Identifier: (Custom description for an operating system loading from the Boot menu) This process adds a new entry in the Boot menu. When you add an installation, the bootcfg command also makes the installation the default operating system boot entry. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| • | The bootcfg /rebuild command scans the hard disks of the computer for Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, or Windows XP installations, and then displays the results. You can add the detected Windows installations. Read the rest of this entry » Assign, change, or remove a drive letter (Windows)March 15th, 2008

linux app on windowsMarch 14th, 2008
http://www.andlinux.org/index.php andLinux is a complete Ubuntu Linux system running seamlessly in Windows 2000 based systems (2000, XP, 2003, Vista; 32-bit versions only). This project was started for Dynamism for the GP2X community, but its userbase far exceeds its original design. andLinux is free and will remain so, but donations are greatly needed. andLinux uses coLinux as its core which is confusing for many people. coLinux is a port of the Linux kernel to Windows. Although this technology is a bit like running Linux in a virtual machine, coLinux differs itself by being more of a merger of Windows and the Linux kernel and not an emulated PC, making it more efficient. Xming is used as X server and PulseAudio as sound server. andLinux is not just for development and runs almost all Linux applications without modification.
A Brief Explanation of CPU Naming SchemesMarch 12th, 2008
The X86 processors started with the Intel 8086 processor way back in 1978. They were incrementally improved (80186, 80286) and then Intel released the Intel 386 (i386) in 1980. That was then followed by he 486 (i486), the Pentium (i586), and the Pentium Pro/2/3/4 (i686). At the same time, rival AMD released their Athlon/Duron/T-bird (also i686). |
