Replacing Bad/Slow HD Without Reinstalling

The hard drive of your PC or saturated it is too slow? Replace it with a newer model without reinstalling Windows or your software: your computer will find a second wind!

As files multimedia (music, photos and videos) that sometimes crammed by the thousands in the bowels of the PC, the current software requires more disk space, some recent games even surpassing the 10 GB ! But a hard drive over-saturated best system slowdowns at worst incessant blockages Windows. To avoid this, a good solution is to change the hard drive, especially if your computer is older. This operation, which takes a little time, is available both on a desktop and on a laptop.

The price of gigabyte is very low ... so aim high!

Want to change your hard drive? So do not skimp on performance! Feel free to take a 500GB model for a desktop PC (model 3.5-inch) or a 100GB for a laptop (a 2.5-inch model) Gigabyte has never been so cheap. Thus, the 3.5-inch Desktop we chose Samsung Spin-point T166 is a 500 GB. Costs 100 euros, or 0.2 euro per gigabyte! Same thing for models for laptops.

We chose Hitachi Travel-star 7K100 for which, with its 100 GB, 90 GB displays cents. In addition, it turns 7200 rpm (like a 3.5-inch desktop hard drive) while the disks of new laptops usually operate at 5400 r / min, and even at 4200 rev / min on the machines of more than two years. In practice, the difference is noticeable. Measured with HD Tach to measure the performance of storage devices), the playback speed from 20 MB / s with our old drive (4200 rev / min, 2MB cache) to 45 MB / s with the new (7200 rev / min, 8MB cache) ... More than double!

A more efficient hard drive with the contents of the old

Changing the drive is good, but still need to transfer data from one to another and avoid the tedious reinstalling Windows and software. For this you need to copy the entire old drive to the new through cloning software such as Symantec Norton Ghost or Acronis True Image, which requires installing the new drive in an external enclosure (10 to 15 euros for a box with USB interface). Data transfer itself will take a few hours (the duration depends on the capacity and speed of the old hard drive).

When Windows software and the data has been copied to the new drive, you remove it from the external case to put it in place of the old hard drive (and eventually, you will put the old hard drive in the external enclosure, for make an extra disc). When you restart your PC, you will find all your software and all your data, and you'll be faster! If it is useless to be a specialist to carry out these operations, however, it is better to have good technical knowledge, including equipment. Beginners beware!

Useful Tips & Tricks for iPad For New Users

When you buy a new gadget or device you try to buy the latest with new technologies for enjoying with the latest/newest. In this new era, everyone is trying to make their products or everything better, advance and much reliable. iPad is no different, but as it’s capable of so much it can be difficult to know where to start.

Below ten tips and tricks focus on how to get your iPad set up if you’ve never used or owned one before.

1
Changing Wallpaper
A really easy way to make your iPad your own is to use a custom wallpaper for either the Lock Screen, the Home Screen (with all your apps on it), or both. Setting up wallpaper is very easy. Open the Settings app, choose Brightness & Wallpaper from the left-hand menu and click on the big Wallpaper button to choose from the preset options or your camera roll. You can set both the Lock and Home screens independently of each other.

2
Set up your email account
The chances are you’ve already got an email account that you’d like to be able to access on your iPad. Fortunately this is very easy to do. Open the Settings app and choose the Mail, Contacts, Calendars item from the menu. Under Add Account, choose the type of account you have from the list, and add your username and password. If you use iCloud, Exchange or Gmail  it will also sync your contacts and  calendars automatically!

3
Save battery power
Sometimes it’s difficult to recharge your battery – especially if you’re doing it from the USB connection of your computer, so it’s useful to reduce the amount of power your iPad uses to make the battery last longer. A quick way to do this is to make sure Bluetooth is turned off in Settings>General. You can also reduce the screen brightness under Settings>Brightness & Wallpaper. Finally, if you’re not using Wi-Fi or 3G, turn on Airplane mode at the top of the Settings app to save even more power. Doing this will prevent you from connecting to the internet.

4
Make your iPad a picture frame
The iPad has a gorgeous screen that makes it an ideal device for showing off your photos and videos. There’s a special function that can turn your iPad into a photo frame when you’re not using it, so it will cycle through your photos automatically. To activate this, lock your iPad by pressing the power button once, then press the home button, and tap the flower icon next to Slide to Unlock.

5
Set up FaceTime
One of the nicest features of the new iPad and iPad 2 is the ability to use FaceTime to video conference with other people. You need to turn this feature on before you can use it, however. Open Settings and choose FaceTime from the menu. Tap the button to execute/turn FaceTime on, and enter your Apple ID details to log into the service. If you don’t have an Apple ID, you can create one from here too!

6
Control notifications
Once you’ve got a few apps installed, you can be overcome with system notifications from all the different apps competing for your attention. You can easily turn these off, or control which should appear by choosing Settings>Notifications. Each individual app can be set to appear in Notification Center and you can control the style of notification too, allowing you to mute annoying repetitive app notifications while still seeing easily when an email comes in.

7
Back up and sync your photos
If you’ve got more than one iOS device, it can be tricky to keep all your devices in sync with each. Fortunately there’s an easy way to back up and sync your photos across all your iOS devices – simply open the Settings app and choose the Photos option. Switch on Photo Stream, and your iPad will save the 1,000 most recent images you’ve taken on iCloud.

8
Download content
The iPad is a wonderful device, but it’s nothing without the apps and content you use it for! You can download directly on the iPad through four different Apple stores: iTunes,  the App Store, iBooks and Podcasts. All the  stores work in the same way, and are accessed through their respective apps. So if you want a book, for example, open the iBooks app, then click on the Store button to browse and buy.

9
Update your apps
Apps are being updated all the time, so to make it easy to keep them up to date on your iPad, each time an app developer publishes a new version of the software, the App Store app will let you know by adding a red badge to its icon. To update, simply tap on the App Store button, and then select the Updates tab. A list of all available updates will be shown, with a simple tap being all that’s required to download.

10
Lock your iPad
If you’ve got children around, or want to prevent un-authorized access to your iPad, you’ll need to lock it down with a passcode lock. Open the Settings app, then choose General>Passcode Lock. You can choose between a simple PIN, or a more complex password. It’s also possible to allow the Picture Frame to work even while your iPad is locked, making it safe to share photos.
