As was the case with Vista when Windows becomes unbootable, you can look up to Neosmart's recovery discs. These discs are extremely handy to have especially if you didn’t receive any installation media with your new computer, which is a common occurrence when purchasing from a majority of manufacturers including Dell and HP. The Windows 7 DVD has a complete "recovery center" that provides you with the option of recovering your system via automated recovery, rolling-back to a system restore point, recovering a full PC backup, or accessing a command-line recovery console for advanced recovery purposes. But, as I said earlier, most of the PC manufacturers don't give you the DVD. But the good news is that Microsoft has tried to address this problem and have thankfully made a recovery disc for this purpose. It cannot be used to install or reinstall Windows 7, and just serves as a Windows PE interface to recovering your PC. You can create a system recovery disc for Windows 7 yourself or else download the recovery discs prepared and hosted by Neosmart.

windows-7-xp-mode

Windows 7 Launch is just around the corner with less than 2 days left and I am sure many of us are raring to upgrade your OS to Windows 7 very soon. Also, some of us are little skeptical of making a move right now since it is not clear if all the software they have installed on Windows XP or Windows Vista are compatible with Windows 7 as well. Not to worry, with the release of Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate editions, Microsoft is including a little utility called XP Mode. XP Mode is a virtual machine running Windows XP on Windows 7. Microsoft is giving us XP mode (XPM) as a means to having a fully modern computing environment (via Windows 7) without having to sacrifice legacy support (of Windows XP). Below is a simple usage guide to get started with XP mode.

This is a Guest post from S.Pradeep Kumar. Your blog design might be perfectly optimized for the Desktops. But lot of people out there frequently checks your blog for new content using their mobile. You can track that using Google Analytics. Readers are not interested in the sidebars, navigation part and other sections. When a title is clicked, a mobile friendly version of that page should open on the screen of their mobile phone. Mobile sites are gaining popularity now-a-days. You can easily create a mobile site using Google Reader. Below I mentioned five reasons why you should consider mobile-friendly version of your blog. 1.

This is a Guest Post from Mahesh Babu windows-7-drivers UPDATE: Mega List of Windows 7 Drivers Windows 7 drivers aren’t exactly easy to come by right now. Windows 7 is the newest operating system from Microsoft and is designed to replace Vista on the PC. There are many people who have been using the beta version of the operating system to try it out and help get the bugs out, but Microsoft closed this download awhile ago, leaving people to find other ways to get their hands on the program. Because it’s new, drivers for Windows 7 are very hard to find. Therefore, it can be hard to get the operating system to be compatible with all of the hardware on your system. Microsoft has finally released updated drivers for Windows 7, which is helpful to the people who are using the beta version, as well as those who will be making the transition in the coming days. Windows 7 drivers download is accessed through the Microsoft website, including Windows 7 drivers for mice, keyboards, controllers, webcams, and other peripherals that you might have on your computer.
