Booting from the Install Drive

    In order to start the installation process, you must boot your computer from the install drive.

    • Assuming that your computer is still on, start by inserting your install drive and restarting your computer.
    • Most computers will briefly allow you to change the boot order for this boot only by pressing a special key — usually, but sometimes 
  • or another function key. Refer to the screen or your computer's documentation to be sure.
  • Press the appropriate key  and select the install drive—usually "USB-HDD" or something containing the word "USB", but the wording may vary. If you choose the incorrect drive, your computer will likely continue to boot as normal. Just restart your computer and pick a different drive in that menu.
  • Shortly after selecting the appropriate boot drive, you should be presented with the elementary OS splash screen. You may now follow the on-screen instructions which will guide you through the rest of the process.

How To Recover Passwords Using Ophcrack LiveCD

Ophcrack LiveCD 3.4.0 is a completely self contained, bootable version of Ophcrack 3.4.0 - the easiest and most effective tool that I've ever found to "crack" your forgotten Windows password. For a quick overview of Ophcrack, see my complete review of Ophcrack 3.4.0 . Ophcrack is a free software program that recovers passwords so the first step you'll need to take is to visit Ophcrack's website .

Basic ADSL Router setup The full GUI can be accessed at http://ui.linksys.com/WRT54G/v1-v4/4.20.7/index.htm location  The router will work out of the box, but has none of the security functions enabled as standard. It should be connected by Cat5 or 5e ethernet cable between a modem and the computer network as its job is to manage traffic and protect the network with its built-in firewall.

How To Setup a USB Flash Drive to Install Windows 7

If you have an ISO image of Windows 7, using Microsoft’s free utility is a quick and easy option to get the image on your USB flash drive. It requires XP SP2 or higher and if you’re using an XP machine you’ll need .NET Framework 2.0, and Microsoft Image Mastering API V2…both of which can be downloaded from the link below. It seemed to work best if I formatted the flash drive as NTFS before using the download tool. But that could be because of the flash drive I used…your mileage may vary.   It’s a pretty straight forward process, first browse to the location of your Windows 7 ISO file and click Next.

The drive will be formatted and files copied to the flash drive. When the process is finished you will be able to see the files on the flash drive as you would if you opened the installat...
