How To Disable Automatic CHKDSK Option

Disable Automatic CHKDSK Option
Windows startup after a sudden shutdown leads to an annoying feature chkdsk. It automatically checks the entire drive for any infected files. This checking can be skipped by pressing any key before it starts during the blue screen which says:
"Checking file system on C:
The type of file system is NTFS.
One of the drives needs to be checked for consistency. You may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended that you continue.
To skip disk checking, press any key within 10 second(s)."

The problem is that skipping is only a temporary option and though it is highly recommended, this chkdsk can be disabled manually. Even if the checking is skipped, it would prompt again during the next windows boot up.
1. start->Run -> cmd
2. and Type chkntfs /x    (for example : chkntfs /x d:  )
3. Try to type all drives
4. Restart your Computer

Use Your Computer Hard Disc As RAM

Everybody knows how costly is to buy a new RAM. SO, in order to get almost equal performance, we can also use some memory from our Hard Disc as virtual memory, which acts as a substitute to RAM. Follow the simple steps stated below to do so….

1. Right Click on My Computer & go to Properties

2. Click on Advanced Tab & go to Settings in the Performance Section.

3. Select the next “Advanced” Tab on the “Performance Options” window. On the advanced tab, click the “Change” button in the “Virtual memory” section.

4. Comprehend the implications of the virtual memory settings. On the “Virtual Memory” window, the “initial size” is the minimum amount of hard drive space Windows will allocate to virtual memory. The “maximum size” is the largest size to which Windows will allow your virtual memory to grow. If you set this setting too low and Windows requires more virtual memory than the maximum, Windows will likely crash or freeze and you will need to reboot. Thus, you should select (or keep the selection as) “System managed size.” By allowing Windows to manage the virtual memory, Windows will increase and decrease the size of the virtual memory as-needed. It is not recommended under any circumstances to select “No paging file” because this can cause system instability.

5. Choose your virtual memory settings. On the “Virtual Memory” screen, you may modify your virtual memory settings in accordance with Step 4. Once you have made your settings, click the “Set” button. Windows will ask you to reboot. Once you do, your virtual memory settings will be changed.

Tips For Upgrading Your Computer's Memory

One of the most common computer repair tasks involves upgrading your computer's memory. There are lots of reasons you might want to do a little upgrading of this nature. For example, more memory means a faster processing time. From faster loading for web pages to better gaming, it can certainly enhance your overall computing experience. More memory also means that your computer is able to easily move from application to application without a hitch. If your machine is networked, you'll experience a higher level of efficiency, and even if you're not, you'll certainly noticed better printing capabilities when you install more memory. The best news, though, is that upgrading your computer's memory is not only a fairly common computer repair task, it's an incredibly easy one.

The first step is to figure out how much memory your machine has. Right click on your 'My Computer' desktop icon. Choose 'Properties' The first tab you see should say 'General' and at the bottom of that tab, you may notice how much RAM (Random Access Memory) your computer currently has. That's an important number in this equation, and if you think you can't remember it, it might be best to write it down.

The second step is to understand how much memory your computer is capable of holding. Different computers can take on different memory capacities, but exceeding your computer's memory capacity can be dangerous, and all in all, it's a waste of your money to use more memory than your computer can hold. There are a couple of ways to go about this. First, there are some free online scanners out there that will let you know what your computer's memory capacity is, but some of them come with embedded bugs, so it's important to be careful. Another option is to glance at the manual that came with your machine. It should give you some good numbers. Alternately, you can log onto the computer manufacturer's website to get the specs for your individual machine.

There's one more part to this equation before you can rush out and buy the memory your computer needs for an upgrade. You may have come across this already if you've been reading your computer's manual, but if you haven't, you must get this information before you make any purchases. Understand what kind of memory your computer needs. Some machines have SDRAM. Others have DDR. Older machines have EDO or FPM. In order to determine what type of memory your machine currently has, you'll need to either consult your computer's manual, the manufacturer's web site or you can scan your computer with one of those free scanners.

Now you are ready to make a purchase. You have to decide how much memory you want on your computer. Of course, during this process, you should keep in mind how much your machine can hold, but if you're a basic user, you're probably going to want to run at least 256 MB. If you're a bit more advanced, and you use your machine for images and video on a regular basis, you may want to head into 512 MB land. If you are heavily into graphic design, head up toward a gig or so.

Once you've made your purchase, it is time to install it into the computer. Turn your machine off, and be sure it is unplugged. Take the case off. Find the memory slots. If you are taking out your old memory, press the ejector clips, and the stick will pop out. You're ready to put your new memory sticks in, and you can do this by finding the notch on the module's pin-side. They'll line up with the socket for the memory, put it in, and press firmly. The ejector clips will lock in around your new memory stick. Turn your computer back on, and you should be ready for a faster computing experience.

Tips That help To increase Your Disk Space

1.      Monitor your file space: There are lots of tools that can tell you which files and folders consume the most space on your computer and where they are located. Armed with this information, you can decide what to get rid of. There of the best are JDisk Report (www.jgoodies.com), WinDirStat (http://winddirstat.info) and Disktective (www.disktective.com). All are free to download and display their findings in a clear, easy-to-understand manner.

2.      Run Disk Cleanup

An obvious tool to try when your hard disk is running short of space is Windows’ built-in Disk Cleanup. The program will calculate how much disk space you can free up. Wait until the ‘files to delete’ list appears, then select every item and click OK. There’s nothing here that you can’t live without and you can reclaim a surprising amount.

3.      Empty the Recycle Bin

Deleted files can occupy many gigabytes of disk space without you realizing. To stop them accumulating and taking up valuable room, first right-click the Recycle Bin on your Desktop and select the Empty option to delete the Bin’s contents. Right click it again and this time select Properties, Reduce the space allocated to the Recycle Bin to 1GB and click OK to confirm.

4.      Compress your files

Windows can compress files on your hard disk to reduce the amount space require. Right-click a file and choose Properties, then click the Advanced button and select the option to ‘Compress contents to save disk space’. Click OK and OK again. This trick works even better when you right-click a folder as you’ll be prompted to apply compression to all its files and subfolders. Go ahead – it won’t adversely affect their contents. Personally I also use it.

5.      Zip files up

If there are files that you don’t use regularly, you can zip them up. Compressing them in this way can, with certain files, save more than 50 per cent of the original space they used. Right-click a file or folder and select Send To, then ‘Compressed (zipped) Folder’. Delete the original afterwards. 

6.      Remove optional components

Getting rid of Windows components that you don’t use helps to reclaim disk space. In XP, click Start>All Programs>Accessories>System Tools>Disk Cleanup. When the Disk Cleanup window appears, click the More Options tab and then select Clean Up in the Windows Components section. Some entries contain multiple items, such as Accessories and Utilities, so select them and click the Details button to choose the items you want to keep or remove. You can restore components from your installation disc (if you have one) if you later decide you need them.

7.      Limit System Restore

System Restore lets you undo changes that have been made to Windows, such as when you install new software or hardware. It’s a worth reducing the amount of space allocated to System Restore. In XP, click Start>Right-click My Computer and select Properties. Click the System Restore tab and then drag the slider bar to the left to reduce the disk space usage. Set the slider to 1000MB, which is a good compromise between necessary back-ups and the amount of space used.

   In Vista, click Start, right-click Computer and select Properties. Click System Protection and clear the tick against the relevant disk drive. Click Apply and then OK, but note first that this removes all restore points (backups), so you should only proceed if your PC is working well. Click system Protection again but this time tick the box next to the disk drive. The space used by System Restore will now be considerably reduced. 

8.      Limit IE’s cache

Internet Explorer can use up to 1GB of disk space to store recently accessed web pages. To stop these from building up in the browser’s cache, click Tools and choose Internet Options>Click the Settings button in the ‘Browsing history’ section of the General tab and set the disk to use to 50.

9.      Uninstall software

Old software that you no longer use can consume lots of space. Open ‘Add or Remove Programs’ in the Control Panel (XP) or ‘Programs and Features’ (Vista & 7), and choose the option to sort installed programs by size. This will help you identify the biggest space hogs. You can then uninstall any greedy programs that you don’t need anymore.

10.    Use online storage

Microsoft’s Windows Live SkyDrive service (http://skydrive.live.com) provides 5GB of free online storage space for documents, music, photos and videos. Sign up and upload seldom-used files from your hard disk and you’ll have up to 5GB more space to play with. There are many equally good free alternatives, including Adrive (www.adrive.com) and Humyo (www.humyo.com).

  You can use Cloud OS’s for online storage like Glide OS (10GB of free online storage) or G.ho.st (15GB of free storage)
