How to Make a USB Pen Drive Bootable

How to Make a USB Pen Drive Bootable

The Guide is based on creating/getting a USB Pen Drive to boot on the DFI NF4 series mobo. The second part shows how to flash your bios from the pen drive.

Part 1

1. The easiest way to do this is with a floppy drive, if you don't have one, there is an alternative method at the bottom of the guide.
2. For XP users insert a blank floppy disc into the drive, open My Computer and right click on your floppy drive and choose "Format" from the popup.
3. Make sure the 'create a bootable system disk' option is checked. This will add the system files needed by the USB drive from the floppy. Click 'OK' to format the disk.



4. HP are constantly changing this utility, and as such the version you download might differ from the one in the guide HP Drive Key Boot Utility V2.1.8. Its intended obviously for HP usb drives but works fine with most other usb drives.
5. Plug in your USB drive and run the HP USB disk storage tool.
6. Ensure that the tool has found the correct drive in the "Device" box. Change the "File System" to "FAT". Check the "Create a DOS startup disk" option, and in the "using DOS system files located at:" window, enter "A:\" to point the program to your floppy disk or browse to it. Now click 'Start'. The program will create the necessary boot files on the USB drive.



7. Reboot your pc, when you see the post screen hit the Escape key, this will bring up a Boot Menu screen. Choose your USB drive from the list and hit Enter.



8. If all has went well you should have rebooted to the C:\ prompt. Congratulations you have just made a Bootable USB pen drive.

Alternative Method for users with no Floppy drives For users without a floppy drive download the XP Custom Boot disc HERE. This is a .exe file that contains all of the system files that you will need. Extract the files to a folder using Winimage etc. In Step 6. Point the HP USB utility to the folder containing the XP Custom Boot files.

Notes: Some USB pen drives do NOT work, mp3 type pen drives don't work or at least the ones i have tried do not, only a dedicated pen drive should be used. The Corsair Flash Voyager USB Pen Drive work perfect.

vista - Change TCP/IP settings

Change TCP/IP settings on Vista

TCP/IP defines the language that your computer uses to communicate with other computers. We recommend using automated Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) to automatically assign Internet Protocol (IP) addresses to the computers on your network, if your network supports it. If you use DHCP, then you don't have to change your settings if you move your computer to another location, and DHCP doesn't require you to manually configure settings such as Domain Name System (DNS) and Windows Internet Name Service (WINS).

1. Open Network Connections by clicking the Start button , clicking Control Panel, clicking Network and Internet, clicking Network and Sharing Center, and then clicking Manage network connections. 2. Right-click the connection that you want to change, and then click Properties. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation. 3. Click the Networking tab. Under This connection uses the following items, click either Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) or Internet Protocol Version 6 (TCP/IPv6), and then click Properties. 4. To specify IPv4 IP address settings, do one of the following: • To obtain IP settings automatically, click Obtain an IP address automatically, and then click OK. • To specify an IP address, click Use the following IP address, and then, in the IP address, Subnet mask, and Default gateway boxes, type the IP address settings. 5. To specify IPv6 IP address settings, do one of the following: • To obtain IP settings automatically, click Obtain an IPv6 address automatically, and then click OK. • To specify an IP address, click Use the following IPv6 address, and then, in the IPv6 address, Subnet prefix length, and Default gateway boxes, type the IP address settings. 6.

How To Make Internet Connection - Vista

Vista Internet Connetion - Vista

The first time you create a dial-up connection, you will be prompted for location information. It is important to specify the correct country, and dialing information. The standards for telephone operation differ in various countries. Incorrect country selection may prevent the modem from functioning properly - including dial-tone and call-progress detection. You can reach the screen to create a connection from Start -> Connect To (and click on "Set up a connection or network"), or from Control Panel -> Network and Sharing Center (and click on "Set up a connection or network").

After you have set the location, you can change and edit it with the Phone & Modem options in Control Panel. You can also create New locations. (Helpful if you have a mobile computer that you use in various locations.)
To create a new connection, click on "Set up a dial-up connection"
Enter the Phone Number (the dialing rules link is important as it will determine whether the number you put in here is actually dialed, or whether modifiers like 1 or area code, or outside line digits are added). You may enter your username and password, or, you can leave them blank and you'll be prompted for them when you attempt to make a connection. You can put a descriptive name in the "Connection name" box. If you check the "allow other people..." box, the connection will be available to all users of your computer; if you leave it unchecked, only your username will have access to it.

After you have entered a phone number in the "Set up a dial up connection" window as shown above, the "Connect" button becomes clickable. There is no "Save" button - only "Connect" and "Cancel". You must click on "Connect" to save the connection, which will start an attempt to make a connection using the username and password (if any) you entered. This dialog will have a "Skip" button which you can use to skip the connection test. If the connect test fails, you will be shown a window similar to below:

If you select "Try again", Windows will make another attempt to dial the ISP and connect. If you select "Diagnose the problem" you will be presented with a window that says there is no problem. (Apparently, Windows Vista is unable to diagnose any dial-up problems at all - every test I have made results in the problem being diagnosed as no problem.) Or, you can select "Set up the connection anyway", or click "Cancel" which will abort the attempt to set up a dial-up connection.

Once the connection has been set up, you can use it, or edit it.

Makcik Bibah - How can I disable the User Account Control (UAC) feature on my Windows Vista computer?

Method #1 - Using MSCONFIG

1. Launch MSCONFIG by from the Run menu.
2. Click on the Tools tab. Scroll down till you find "Disable UAC" . Click on that line.
   
3. Press the Launch button.
4. A CMD window will open. When the command is done, you can close the window.
5. Close MSCONFIG. You need to reboot the computer for changes to apply.

You can re-enable UAC by selecting the "Enable UAC" line and then clicking on the Launch button.

*Recommended: Speed up Vista boot times by reducing the number of programs that load at startup. Control your Vista startup list with this Vista app

Method #2 - Using Regedit

1. Open Registry Editor.
2. In Registry Editor, navigate to the following registry key:

   HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE'Software'Microsoft'Windows'CurrentVersion'Policies'System

3. Locate the following value (DWORD): EnableLUA and give it a value of 0.
   

Note: As always, before making changes to your registry you should always make sure you have a valid backup. In cases where you're supposed to delete or modify keys or values from the registry it is possible to first export that key or value(s) to a .REG file before performing the changes.

4. Close Registry Editor. You need to reboot the computer for changes to apply.

In order to re-enable UAC just change the above value to 1.

Method #3 - Using Group Policy

This can be done via Local Group Policy or via Active Directory-based GPO, which is much more suited for large networks where one would like to disable UAC for many computers at once.

If using Local Group Policy you'll need to open the Group Policy Editor (Start > Run > gpedit.msc) from your Vista computer.

If using in AD-based GPO, open Group Policy Management Console (Start > Run > gpmc.msc) from a Vista computer that is a member of the domain. In the GPMC window, browse to the required GPO that is linked to the OU or domain where the Vista computers are located, then edit it.

1. In the Group Policy Editor window, browse to Computer Configuration > Windows Settings > Security Settings > Local Policies > Security Options.
   
2. In the right pane scroll to find the User Access Control policies (they're down at the bottom of the window). You need to configure the following policies:
3. You'll need to reboot your computers.

Method #4 - Using Control Panel

1. Open Control Panel.
2. Under User Account and Family settings click on the "Add or remove user account".
   
3. Click on one of the user accounts, for example you can use the Guest account.
4. Under the user account click on the "Go to the main User Account page" link.
   
5. Under "Make changes to your user account" click on the "Change security settings" link.
   
6. In the "Turn on User Account Control (UAC) to make your computer more secure" click to unselect the "Use User Account Control (UAC) to help protect your computer". Click on the Ok button.
   
7. You will be prompted to reboot your computer. Do so when ready.
   

In order to re-enable UAC just select the above checkbox and reboot.
