Resolve your harddisk Boot/Format problem due to MBR error

The MBR could easily be seen as one of the most important sectors on the disk. If anything happens to the contents of this sector, the data on your disk could be unreachable. Or the computer might simply not start anymore.


This MBR tool allows you to manipulate a drive's master boot record (MBR) via the command line. For example, MBR is capable of deleting all the partitions in a MBR, zeroing out a MBR, installing a standard MBR, and more. MBR runs under DOS/Linux/Windows.

Lock a Folder With Password Using Free Folder Protector

Folder Protector

Folder Protector offers each user a protected folder that can only be opened by entering the password in FolderProtector. Unlike most security programs, Folder Protector is small in size (nearly 58KB) and does not show the folder that it is protecting. This gives an additional advantage that people who don't know the password do not have a target to try and hack their way into. As the software is portable, you can hide it or even delete it after protecting your folder and no one will have a clue that it was used. Then whenever you need to access protected files.

How to use Folder Protector?

When you run Folder Protector for the first time, the program will ask you for a password that you want to use. Enter a password that you can remember as this will be the password to your protected folder.






After entering the password, the program will open a folder named SecuredFILES. This is your protected folder. You can add all your private files in this folder. This folder is located at the Desktop. After adding all your files, you may close this folder.



Then, you can use the menu in the program to lock your folder. To lock the folder, type lock as your action. After successfully locking the folder, FolderProtector will display that the folder is locked.


Unlocking the protected folder is easy. Just type unlock as your action. Then the program will ask you to enter your password. Upon successfully entering the password, the program will display the contents of your protected folder.

Changing the Password: Just type change as your action. The program will ask you for your current password. Upon successful entry of the current password, the program will ask for your new password and change it instantly.

Acknowledgment: This software has been made possible only through the suggestions of readers of this blog, especially Ernell Albert Galido for his idea of using a menu based interface.

Windows Compatibility: This program has been successfully tested on Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows XP.

Convert FAT32 to NTFS Without Formatting or Losing Data

FAT 32 to NTFS Conversion Steps

1) Go to Computer, and note the name of the drive whose file system you wish to convert.

2) Click on Start.

3) Type cmd in the search bar if you use Windows 7, Windows 8 or Windows Vista. If you use Windows XP, click on Run and then execute cmd.

4) Execute "chkdsk h: /f " (without quotes) where H is the letter of the drive to undergo conversion. This checks the drive for errors and fixes them automatically.

5) Execute "Convert H: /FS:NTFS" (without quotes). H is again the letter of the drive to be converted.

6) The command prompt will start the conversion process and after a few minutes, CMD will say that conversion was successful.

7) You can check it in the properties of the drive through right click




This works on Windows 7, Windows XP, Windows 8 and Windows Vista. I converted my flash drive's file system using these steps and it worked flawlessly. It is interesting to note that this method cannot be used to reconvert NTFS file system back to FAT32. To reconvert back to FAT32, you will need to format the entire drive which will definitely cause data loss.

Windows 7 networking fails to connect to samba SCO PC

Windows networking fails to connect to the Network Space 2 due to the version of samba on drive. Windows 7 defaults to using NTLMv2 for its security policy. The drive uses Samba v.3.0.9, which only supports NTLM.

To fix this, the LAN Authentication level must be reconfigured using the "secpol" program to log in.

Click Start, then Run (or press [windows button] + [R] on the keyboard), then type "secpol.msc" This should bring up the Security Policy system window.

On the left, select Local Policies > Security Options.

On the right, scroll down to and double-click on "Network Security: LAN Manager Authentication Level" Right Click your mouse, Change the setting from "Send NTLMv2 Response only" to "Send LM & NTLM responses".
