create a flash drive using a dvd


Did you know that in windows 7 we can write files to a DVD and also can use the DVD like we use a pen drive. So you can edit files while they are on the DVD.You can delete them and you can add new files also. Just like a pen drive.
But only Windows XP,Vista and & Windows 7 can read and write files to this DVD.

This is how to do this

1)  Enter the DVD into the DVD writer and wait until the "Auto run" message appear.

2) Now select Burn Files To disk using Windows explorer.

3) Give a name you desire to the disk.

4) Now select "Like a USB flash drive" option and click next.

5) Now "Formatting" message will appear

6) After the format process is finished the DVD will word as a pen drive.

God Mode is a great feature that windows 8 has. Using God mode we can access lots of settings in a single place. Usually to change settings we have to go to control panel and search the settings and after we have to change them. But God Mode allows you to access those in a single click. God Mode is a hidden feature in Windows 8.

To activate God Mode follow the steps.

1) Create a new folder in the desktop

2) Then change it's name to the this name which I have given below.

  •  GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}

3) Now you can see the icon of that folder automatically changed to the icon of the control panel.

4) Now open this folder and search for the "Settings" folder.

5) There you can see all the settings and can access them easily.

how to convert FAT 32 format into NTFS without losing data



You may have experienced this problem we face, 
when a pen drive is in the format of FAT 32 we 
cant copy too large files to the pen drive , it's 
because of the format is FAT 32. 
But it's such a easy thing to format the pen and 
convert the the current format into NTFS. But the 
problem is you will lose all the data inside the pen.


As a result for that problem I'm going to tell you about how to convert FAT 32 format into NTFS without loosing any data.

So lets see how to do this.You can use this method to any device like hard drive,pen drive etc. For a example I'll take pen drive.

1) First go to my computer and see in which letter the pen drive is named by the computer.Which means if you connect your pen drive to a USB port,in the My Computer will display like this Apple(J:) 

(think that I've named my pen drive as "Apple") . So what you have to notice is this letter "J"  which is inside the brackets.
(In another way you know that the hard disk drive partitions are named as Local Disk (C:) ,Local Disk (D:) ,you can see the C,D letters of that partitions, so just look and see the in which letter the pen drive is indicated )

2) Now you have to open Command Prompt. In windows 7 click on "Start" and Type "cmd" in the text box without inverted commas. If you are using Windows XP,then Click on "Start" and click on "Run" in the start menu,then type "cmd" and press Enter.

3) then type this in the command prompt.  
chkdsk h: /f  ( replace the letter h in red with letter you pen drive is indicated)

4) Ok now press enter. So it wi;; fix the errors if there are some errors in the pen drive

5) Then again type this in the command prompt 
H:/FS:NTFS (Replace the letter H in red with the letter your pen drive is indicated in My Computer)

6) Now the Command Prompt will start the conversion process and after it finished it will display " Conversation Was Successful"

That's all we are done! But you have to remember this trick will only work for Windows 7, Windows 8 , Windows Vista and Windows XP only. Also though we can convert FAT 32 into NTFS using this method it wont work if you are going to convert NTFS into FAT 32.
