How To Install Windows XP Over Windows Vista

Brian — Wed, 17 Feb 2010 09:23:08 +0000

If you are among the many people who have tried Windows Vista and did not like it, the problem is reverting to your good old Windows XP. It may sound easy as reformatting your hard drive but the thing is, traces of the Windows Vista OS will still be there to stop you from installing a clean Windows XP operating system.

The quick solution is have a technician do it. But of course, why bother if you can do it yourself! You will need some external software such as a bootable DOS system to serve as your primary booting disc. If you don’t have a floppy drive, chances are you will have to burn one. You can get a copy of DOS systems at this link.

Now that you have that, here are the steps:

Place the CD with the DOS System on your CD drive and boot up your PC. At first boot, press DEL to go to the CMOS settings. Make sure that your CD drive is the first boot device so your CD will load first.
Once the DOS System is loaded, at the command prompt type FDISK.
You will see the partitions of your hard drive. Delete them and then restart your PC.
Make sure that you have placed your Windows XP installer on the CD drive before it starts booting.
Wait for the Windows XP installer to start and then you are good to go.

There are some people who make use of dual boot but they are bound to eat up space on your hard drive. And worst part of it all is that it is not a guarantee that your PC will run sanely as before. Just follow these tips if you are having that problem and rest assured, you will get your PC back to the way it was before Windows Vista ruined it all.

Oh and if you lost some files, let that be a lesson to you. Always backup your files such as documents and spreadsheets. You may not be able to recover them anymore if such an upgrade wreaks havoc to your PC or laptop again.

CPU Hack – How to your Control your Computer/Laptop CPU Speed!

max — Tue, 22 Sep 2009 01:41:25 +0000

Recently, I fixed my old HP laptop that had a CPU overheating problem. I even replaced the CPU fan with a new one but still, the HP laptop keeps freezing because the AMD Turion 64 CPU on it was simply poorly designed as far as heating problems were concerned.

However I did find a great free software that solved my problems and also helps on desktop PCs too. This might be the best free tool ever for Windows XP/Vista users yet.

The free CPU management software is called Notebook Hardware Control (NHC). It runs on most laptops/desktops flawlessly and automatically controls/throttles your CPU speed/voltage so your CPU never overheats.

After you download the NHC and install it on your Windows XP or Vista computer, go to Settings and click on “Show all NHC options and settings”.

Now, you will be able to more menus. Go to CPU Speed and you can adjust the settings, including your own custom, dynamic switching option.

If you set it to “dynamic switching”, NHC will automatically throttle your CPU frequency just as it’s needed. This will save you a ton of battery life on laptops plus your CPU will last much longer since it’s not running on full 8 cylinders.

The problem with Windows XP and Vista is that the operating system has been designed to basically run on full CPU power.

With NHC, you no longer need to do that. It’s like optimizing your CPU power.

I actually tried couple other programs before this one but I find this one easy to use and most effective. You can also try SpeedswitchXP, which is exclusively for XP machines but works pretty well too.

For my ailing HP laptop, I set the setting to “Battery Optimized” so the CPU will run at its minimal speed. Now, the CPU never overheats, it never even gets hot enough for the CPU fan to come on.

Another suggestion for laptops is to always use “hibernation” mode instead of rebooting Windows everytime if you have CPU overheating problems. Hibernation takes much less CPU power and sometimes with overheating CPUs, you can’t boot unless your CPU has been cooled to room temperature.

Using NHC and hibernation, now my old HP laptop can run just fine. A bit slower than its full CPU capacity but still better than frozen screens.

There’s also additional features in NHC such as showing your actual temperature of your CPU and other chips on your computer/laptop.

I liked it so much, I even put it on my desktop PCs. Now my desktop PCs simply throttle CPU speed to almost nothing if I leave it on while doing something else.

Resources for Controlling your Computer/Laptop CPU Speed

Notebook Hardware Control (NHC) – Works on Win XP/Vista, works great with desktop PCs also.
SpeedSwitchXP – Works on Win XP, I initially used this one, it works quite well also with ability to control CPU fan speeds too.
SpeedFan – SpeedFan is a great way to monitor your CPU temp/speed and more.

XP Hack – How to Downgrade from Windows Vista to XP!

max — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 11:20:36 +0000

Believe it or not, my favorite OS is still Windows XP. I have a secret setup that allows me to get no viruses nor spyware. Well, I can’t tell you that but here’s another tip on how to downgrade from Windows Vista to XP. (I’ve mentioned last time how to do it but this is if that doesn’t work.)

Yes, your computer will be more reliable with XP if you are on a PC. LMAO. :p

When PC starts press F2 to go into ‘Setup’ Options.
Go to ‘System Configuration’
Select ‘SATA Opreation’ which configures the operating mode of the integrated SATA hard drive controllers.

There will be three options.

Disabled (SATA controllers are hidden)

ATA (SATA is configured for ATA mode)

AHCI (SATA is configured for AHCI mode)

I had Windows VISTA at this Laptop but I wanted Windows XP for a while. Whenever I was trying to install Windows XP; it gave me ‘Blue Screen of Death’ and the system had to be rebooted.

What I had to do from Setup Options; I changed the configuration of above setting from AHCI to ATA.
I was able to install Windows XP, alright. Changing this setting will disable your old installed OS to run and you have to reinstall the OS again anyways.
Okay that’s it.

Wireless DIY – How to Set Up WPA2 Network!

max — Sat, 20 Jun 2009 20:32:59 +0000

For those of you wireless tinkers who need the best in wifi security, ComputerWorld has a great guide on how to set up WPA2 network. I think this is a great way to “secure” your wifi network, especially since it’s already been proven even WPA can be cracked easily. – link

Step 1: Windows OS: First make sure your operating system is up to date. If you are running Windows XP, you’ll need service pack 2 and you’ll need to download the WPA2 patch that’s located here.

If you’re using a Mac, you need to be running OS X 10.4.2 or better. Apple calls its version WPA2 Personal. While Linux is outside the scope of this article, you can get more information here.

Step 2: Wireless Adapter: While you are updating your Windows OS, you might want to make sure that the wireless adapter in your laptop is also up to the task of supporting WPA2. The Wi-Fi Alliance maintains an online database of products that is somewhat difficult to use. Go to their Web site, check the WPA2 box and then select which vendor you are interested in.

If you have a built-in Intel wireless adapter, it needs to be running Intel’s ProSet version 7.1.4 or better, excluding versions 8.x. You can get more information on this page on Intel’s Web site.

Step 3: Wireless access point/router: Next, make sure your router/gateway can support WPA2. If you have purchased it in the last year, chances are good that it does, but you might need to update your firmware as well. For the Belkin Pre-N router model 2000, I needed to update the firmware to version 2.01. An older model 1000 didn’t support WPA2 and couldn’t be upgraded. How can you tell the difference when you are buying one? You can’t, other than opening the box and looking at the label on the bottom of the unit.

Tablet Hack – How to Turn your Laptop into a Tablet Notebook!

With Hanwha’s Duo, you can easily turn your regular ol’ laptop into a tablet notebook. There’s some hardware involved but if you are sitting at your desk most of the time, this might be the perfect solution for drawing in Photoshop during your free time. (or for freelance work too.)

Hanwha Japan has just introduced its incredibly useful Duo for Laptop device, which sits gently atop one’s laptop display and tracks digital pen movements via Infrared and ultrasonic technology in order to add doodling functionality to LCDs that were never designed to understand touch input. The only limitation — and it’s a big one — is that this seems to only work with lappies possessing up to a 15.4-inch display. If that’s kosher with you, you can snap one up for ¥9,980 ($101), or if not, you can just wait ’til these are announced for netbooks, ultraportables and desktop replacements.

Best Pocket Projectors Review!

max — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 12:26:27 +0000

Well, it’s that time of the year, yes, we have bunch of pocket micro projectors you can buy.

Whether you are using for your next business or your next movie (practically anywhere where there’s a wall), you can get it and it will cost you less than $300 for most micro projectors.

First up we have the Optoma PK-101 Pico Pocket Projector priced at $219.99, featuring connector kits to your iPhone, iPod, iTouch and camcorders.

UPDATE: Optoma PK-301 will be available soon, read my PK-301 Hands-on review at CES 2010.

This device isn’t designed for laptops (for god knows why?) but it could be a great companion if you are not thinking about using it in business meetings, just for personal use.

Second up, we have the 3M MPro110, priced at $169.99, which features “VGA” resolution, meaning something around 640×480, not too bad since this technology is new anyways. This one, however, does connect to your laptop, so great for business meetings.

UPDATE: Better 3M MPRo120 is here now!

Next up is the Aiptek PJV11X priced at $249.99, which has the low resolution at 640×480 but is also the cheapest. The Aiptek works on iPods, camcorders, and laptops with AV-in and USB input.

In all, I’d have to say portable projectors are still in the works and pricing is too high for the average consumer but if VGA resolution satisfies your requirements, it might not be a bad as for now until the next new line of higher resolution portable projectors come out.

On the side note, I have heard rumors that Apple will be making a micro-projector either on their new iPod/iPhone or a separate device. (I got friends in the optic chips sector in Silicon Valley, that’s all I can tell you.)

Snuggie Blanket Jacket!

max — Tue, 17 Feb 2009 22:07:20 +0000

I just bought one of these Snuggie Blanket Jacket over at BBB and I have to say, they are great blankets because they cover your whole body so heat doesn’t escape.

I like it so much I bought my family members a bunch of them so they make great gifts for those cold cities.

The Snuggie™ keeps you totally warm and gives you the freedom to use your hands. Work the remote, use your laptop or do some reading in total warmth and comfort!

Snuggie™ is made with super soft, thick, luxurious fleece with roomy, oversized sleeves that let you do what you want while still being totally wrapped in warmth.

There’s a better deal I found on the internet where you can get 2 for price of 1.

Check it out, it’s a steal.

HD Camera/Camcorder Review Under $200!

max — Wed, 28 Jan 2009 20:43:21 +0000

Well, I am about to buy an HD camera/camcorder so I figured I’d do a market analysis (or review) of all the HD camera/camcorders out there that are under $200.

For one, I am looking for following qualities in an HD camera:

HD quality (at least 720P) videos – I want to be able to record high-res videos that I can also upload to high-res video websites.
Ability to use SD cards for extra memory or a hard disk – I don’t want a fixed internal memory, that’d make the camcorder completely useless if I am on a boat and I run out of memory. (No, I don’t want to bring my laptop with me everywhere I go.)
Price – I want to bang for my dollar, I am sure you would want that too. I don’t really feel like spending over $200 on an HD camera.
Size – At least I want the HD camera to fit in my hands easily and it’s portable. I don’t want something too big that I can’t take along on a world travel.

That said, let me review couple of HD cameras that might be candidates or not:

Flip Mino HD

First, I looked into the Flip Mino HD, which is probably the smallest-sized HD camera out there but the downfall is that you cannot use an external memory card. After recording 60 minutes of HD video, your Flip basically becomes “useless” until videos have been transferred to your PC. I can’t believe the guys making Flip didn’t think of this, 8GB internal memory is great but still a joke for recording 1+ hours of video.

Pros

Small-size, you can practically carry it and capture while you snowboard, ski, or whatever.
720P HD

Cons

No external memory
No contrast/lighting controls
Crude Camcorder functions – Mini isn’t supposed to be a full-out camcorder, that’s why it’s a “Minooo”.

Aiptek A-HD+ 1080P

UPDATE: Aiptek really sucks, please don’t get it, get the Mino HD instead.

I have never heard of Aiptek before but this new 1080P digital camcorder is affordable, accepts SD cards, and price is actually cheaper than the Flip MinoHD. Aiptek also has a 720P version for about $130 but I’d probably spend $20 more on the 1080P version.

Pros

1080P HD resolution, this will be perfect for playing your home videos on your HDTV or even uploading great resolution videos to YouTube and other video sites.
Priced at just over $150, I don’t see how you can go wrong with this one. You can always buy a new one if you lose it or break it so you feel okay to throw this around normal duties.
Size is pretty small too, not bulky and will be slightly bigger than your average digital camera
You can fit up to a 32GB SDHC card, that’s a lot of recording time and you can get bunch of them for even longer recording times.

Cons

Aiptek isn’t a proven brand for camcorders

DXG 720P HD Camera

The DXG HD 720P digital camcorder might be the cheaper, better clone of the Flip Mino series. I tend to like the fact that you can actually use external memory on this one and price is a real bargain at just over $100.

If you are too serious about videos you are taking and you want to spend the least, this might just do the job perfect as you won’t have to break your arm or legs to get one.

Pros

Size is really small, portable.
720P HD with external memory slot, you don’t need to be stuck with 60 minutes unlike the Flip series.

Cons

Again, like the Flip, these’s no advanced controls for advanced video control. (Did I say that right? You get the idea.)

Kodak Zi6 Pink Camcorder

If you are a pink-color-lover, you might want to consider the Kodak Zi6. Aside from being pink, this little beast can do 720P and has external memory slot for SD cards.

Pros

Pink, a favorite color among females, could be good gift
720P HD
External memory accepted
Small, portable size

Cons

Maybe pink isn’t your color.

Sony Webbie HD Camcorder

Sony has been always on top of their digital goods and the Sony Webbie HD camcorder is a good one with 1080P resolution and external memory slots for Sony memory cards. If you already own bunch of Sony cameras with Sony memory, this might be a great way to use your extra memory.

As for me, I can’t stand Sony’s proprietary memory cards that are not really standardized by the industry, I will stick with SD cards.

Pros

Size is kinda big, won’t fit in your pocket.
1080P HD videos are no problem
External memory
3 colors to choose from: Purple, Metal, and Orange.

Cons

External memory must be Sony. Boo. That’s the only turnoff for me.

Well, Amazon has always been a good source for low prices and they are constantly changing so if you want to check out the latest and best digital camcorders, check this out too.

As for me, I think I might just go with the Aiptek. For $150 and all the camcorder features I need, this might just do the job. 1080P, 43 reviews on Amazon mostly positive, SD card external memory upto 32GB, and will fit in my pocket.

I am just glad I didn’t spend $299 at Wal-mart yesterday on an oversized Samsung that was really “outdated”.

Don’t ever buy stuff retail, especially electronic goods at mass-retailers, without first doing your homework online. You will be glad you read this blog post, now you know what features are important to a hacker, maker, and DIYer such as me.

The Side Stage Monitor

This is great little device which easily be added to any PC or Laptop through the USB port that makes it simple to connect. The Side Stage is made by D Link and its seven inch display with 800 x 400 resolutions is good enough to use as an extension to the main screen.

It is probably not a great thing for surfing the net or running other applications such as word processing, but when it comes to IM and other small apps then this is ideal to keep these well away from the main screen.

David Allen — Fri, 16 Jan 2009 18:00:54 +0000

This has to be too good to be true, and of course, it is. Yes, this laptop is $26 but there reason for this is simply because this laptop is not a fully functional laptop because it is made out of cardboard and filled with chocolate.

The casing is realistic looking like a computer but its cardboard feel is big giveaway, however it is the keys that really let the side down, this is because if you leave your finger on one then it will begin to melt because the keys are made from chocolate.

Here’s a really cool lookin’ LED Music Player for this Halloween you can set by the front door window and entertain your trick-or-treaters.

Basically, I wanted to build some kind of LED matrix driven by an Arduino and laptop for some kind of Halloween costume this year. I ended up using Disney’s Electrical Parade song as the inspiration for my costume. As you can see from the video, the matrix cycles through random animations but when I press a button on my wireless keypad, it starts to play the Electrical Parade song along with some (somewhat) synchronized visuals. I haven’t had time to document it all yet, but I plan to after Halloween.

Intel and ASUS doing Consumer Research on Laptops!

max — Fri, 31 Oct 2008 01:44:37 +0000

Intel and ASUS have launched a site called WePC.com, a site that allows regular internet users (consumers) to create their dream PC online and vote on them.

It’s like a social network for consumer research, a very clever idea for getting great marketable response from consumers. I, too, have involved in physical consumer research programs for my previous jobs where we would sit behind a mirror-glass, sorta like the ones they use for interrogation of murders.

Anyways, if you want to build your own PC and tell Intel/ASUS about it, you might get picked and end up with a new laptop.

“Intel believes the spark for innovation can come from anywhere. That’s why Intel is working with Asus to tap into the creative energy of consumers as they share ideas on designing their ideal PC.”

Sprint’s Dan Hesse says Google Android not good enough “yet”!

max — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 05:07:38 +0000

In recent interview with Sprint’s CEO Dan Hesse, he says that Google Android isn’t good enough “yet” for Sprint to promote on their network.

I can understand why Dan is saying that because Sprint is way ahead of every other telecommunication company in the U.S. as far as mobile data speeds go.

Plus, Sprint has been working closely with Samsung, one of the biggest cellphone manufacturers in the world. Samsung has been rolling out WiMax-enabled devices for the last past 2 years while Sprint just rolled out with the new 4G WiMAX in metropolitan cities in the U.S.

I believe one of the biggest reasons why Google Android isn’t ready is the hardware that’s not capable of supporting WiMAX, the future of Sprint and mobile phones.

Even Apple is stuck with outdated 3G technology on their iPhones, when they should have launched their product with Sprint.

If you haven’t noticed, every major laptop and cellphone manufacturer have been making WiMAX-enabled devices behind consumers’ backs because they KNOW that’s the fastest mobile internet ever.

Anyways, I am looking forward to getting a WiMAX-enabled device from Sprint soon, especially they now offer pro-rated contract termination fees.

I still see Dan Hesse is far ahead of Steve Jobs or even Google because he foresees the underlying technology behind the cellphone hardware itself, WiMAX that is.

You might not agree, but wait couple years and you will hear me in your mind, “I told you so”.

Amazon Netbook Review Roundup!

max — Fri, 10 Oct 2008 16:50:45 +0000

Here’s a round of of best netbooks you can get from Amazon today from our Laptop Blog:

Eee PC 1000H is probably the top-of-the-line netbook to get right now as it offers a 10″ screen,160GB hard drive, Windows XP, and Atom 1.6Ghz processor. I like the fact that Eee PCs have been leading the netbook industry and you won’t be disappointed carrying this 3.1 pound beast in your bag. The battery life is estimated at 7 hours but I think as long as you get about 4-5 hours on this, that’s good enough.

There’s other models of Eee PCs, but this one is the that will give you bang for you buck as it has the largest harddrive.

Eee PC 1000H – $479 at Amazon

MSI Wind 10″ netbook is probably the 2nd best choice right now as far as performance and speed goes. This MSI netbook comes with 10″ screen, 80GB harddrive, 1.6 Ghz Atom processor, Windows XP, and weighs just 2.1 pounds. I do like it but I’d rather get the Eee PC 1000H which comes with larger harddrive and longer battery life.

MSI Wind 10″ – $549.99 at Amazon

Acer Aspire One 8.9″ netbook is next with 160GB harddrive, Atom N270 processor, Windows XP, and 1GB memory. I think 8.9″ is too small for any netbook but if you must get an 8.9″ screen, get this one as it comes loaded with features you won’t see on the other 8.9″ netbooks. The 5.5 hour battery life should last you at least 3-4 hours.

Acer Aspire One 8.9″ Sapphire Blue $429.99 at Amazon

Acer Aspire One 8.9″ White $429.99 at Amazon

HP 2133 Mini-note is also a good alternative if you need a slightly bigger resolution than all the other 3 above netbooks. The HP 2133 netbook comes with 120GB harddrive, 1.6Ghz VIA processor, and 2GB of memory. The worst thing about this laptop is that it comes with Windows Vista, power-hogging operating system that’s not a good fit for mini-laptops. I do like is the 8.9-inch screen with WXGA (1280 x 768) resolution, webcam, and 92% full-size keyboard, which beats all the other netbooks.

But yes, this would still be my last choice as it costs as much as your 15.4″ laptops.

HP 2133 Mini-note – $640.98 via Amazon

Well, there you have the best netbooks Latop Pimp thinks. If you really must get a netbook, get the Eee PC1000H, it’s the best value and performance for your money.

Now, if you think all these netbooks don’t live up to your standards, get a regular laptop or better yet, wait about 6 months and you should see 5 times better netbooks.

Netbooks are still in the early stages and you need to consider the fact that they are “beta” products that manufacturers are still testing. After 6-12months, we should expect more netbooks that are faster and better.

Dell Mini Hack – How to install a GPS!

max — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 18:36:59 +0000

Here’s a cool hack that shows you how to install a GPS seamlessly into your Dell Mini Inspiron 9 netbook.

I started by tearing the Mini down and seeing if it was even possible. Luckily, there’s a bit of space around where the Bluetooth adapter is located. It wasn’t much, but it looked like enough, so I ordered the smallest USB GPS receiver I could find. It’s a nice unit with a SkyTraQ chipset and support for AGPS. Once I used the included utility to download an AGPS update into the unit, it gets a location fix in about five seconds after a reset.

iPhone Modem App is here and I am not impressed!

max — Sun, 14 Sep 2008 23:54:48 +0000

iPhone modem application is here, which can turn your jailbroken iPhone into a broadband modem for your laptop or PC.

Why am I not impressed?

Well, this should be a standard feature on the iPhone. Why should consumers have to go through the trouble of jailbreaking their phone?

Plus, AT&T’s broadband modem has proven to really suck in comparison to Sprint and Verizon.

Personally, I have a Blackberry 8830, which easily becomes a broadband modem using a USB connector.

In comparison to another PCMCIA broadband modem I have from Sprint, the speeds are about the same even with the Blackberry modem setup.

So what?

I don’t even have to try the iPhone Modem App, it can’t be faster than iPhone itself so it’s gotta be really really, really sloooowwww.

Now what?

If you are serious about doing business on the go, get a Blackberry, otherwise you can stick with your too-slow-iPhone-even-with-3G.

Have a great sunday. :p
