InstallationRecover your data from a hard drive
Posted on September 26th, 2007
There are easy ways to recover data from a hard drive if it is operating normally, but if it’s defective or if it stops working then it is recommended that you leave the data recovery to the professionals, and we don’t mean your local computer shop.
Here are three alternatives that actually work by disassembling your hard drive and recovering data from the physical discs inside your drive.

Is your PC secretly connecting to the web?
Posted on September 23rd, 2007There is a DOS command that can help you find out if you computer is secretly connection to the web.
- In START > Run, type cmd
- Type “netstat -b 5 > activity.txt” and press enter.
- After say 2 minutes, press Ctrl+C.
- Type “activity.txt” on the command line to open the log file in notepad (or your default text editor)
This .txt file will have a record of everything that has made an Internet connection in the last couple of minutes; you can then check your task manager to find out where it is and take care of it.
