How to Make Bootable Pendrive Without any Software?

Have you ever wanted to install an Operating System(OS), but didn't have the time or didn't know how? Here's an easy and fast way of doing so. When installing an OS, use a USB. It is a much faster way than using a CD/DVD. Follow given below steps:

STEPS:

1. Insert your USB into your computer. When your computer finally recognizes

    it, open the command prompt(Run as Administrator).

2. Once inside the command prompt, type: diskpart , then press Enter.

     After that, You will something like this one:

3. Now, type: list disk , All active drives will be displayed to the command

    prompt:

• After that, you will want to select your USB. Typically, it's always the   smallest one in size, so you will always be able to tell which one your USB. Now, type: select disk 1

• After that, Clean your USB. Be sure to back up all data stored on the USB you are using, because you will lose all your data in this step. Type: clean

 
4. Now, you will create a partition for the USB. Type: create partition primary

5. Type: select partition 1 . This will select the partition you have just created.

• Now, type: active . This will make the partition active on the USB.
   

6.  Now, Type: format fs=ntfs . This command will format your USB in NTFS file
     system. This could take awhile time depending on the size of the drive and
     the processing power of your computer. It could take time from a few
     seconds to 15 minutes.

• Once completed, type: assign .
  

7. Congratulations, now you have a bootable USB. Type: exit

8. Now, Insert your Windows DVD or mount ISO image in the optical drive and
    note down the drive letter of the optical drive and USB media. Here I'm using
    "H" as my optical (DVD) drive letter and "J" as my USB drive letter.

• Go back to command prompt and type following commands: H: and hit enter. Where "H" is your DVD drive letter.
  
• Now, type: cd boot and hit enter.
  

• After that type BOOTSECT.EXE/NT60 J: and hit enter. (Where "J" is your USB drive letter.
  

9. Once you have done that, Open the DVD from windows explorer
   (My Computer). You might have to right-click on it, then click on "Open".
   select all that you see and transfer to your USB.

10. That's all. Now, you have a bootable Pendrive with Win 8 or any.

How to Make a System Hidden Folders or Files in Windows Without any Software?

Almost anyone knows how to make a “hidden” folder in Windows, but then again almost anyone knows how to make explorer show hidden folders. Let’s take a look at how to make a system hidden folder, only you will know its there.

Anyone that has used Windows for a while knows that they can right-click on a file or folder and edit its properties, more so its attributes to make it a so called "hidden" file or folder. The problem is that just as many people know you can show files and folders that have the "hidden" attribute by simply changing a radio button under the folder view options. The easiest way to make a real hidden file or folder is to mark it as an important operating system file, that way Windows won't display it even if explorer is set to display hidden files and folders.

To do this just follow given steps:
1. First, we need to launch a command prompt, so press the Win + R key
    combination and type cmd then hit the enter button.

2. Now we are going to use the attrib command, so go ahead and type:

• To make a system hidden folder: attrib +s +h "<address of folder>"

    For example i want to hide a folder "System Folder", and address of this

    folder is C:\System Folder then see below picture:

• To make a system hidden file: attrib "<address of file>" +s +h

    For example i want to hide a file "System File.txt", and address of this

    file is C:\System Folder\System File.txt then see below picture:

3. Now if I go look for the "System Folder or System File" in my C:\ Drive it is
    gone, even with explorer set to show hidden files and folders.

4. To make visibale hidden file or folder, you can run the same attib command,
    except this time use "-" instead of the "+" signs. see below pictures:
 

To make visible hidden folder

To make visible hidden file

  Like magic, my folder or file appeared again.

How To Fix a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD)?

A Blue Screen of Death, also called a STOP Error, will appear when an issue is so serious that Windows must stop completely. A Blue Screen of Death is usually hardware or driver related. Most BSODs show a STOP code that can be used to help figure out the root cause of the Blue Screen of Death.

Important: Below are general Blue Screen of Death troubleshooting steps. 

Note: Some of these steps may require you to start Windows in Safe Mode. If that's not possible then skip those steps.

Difficulty: Average

Time Required: It might take you several hours to fix a Blue Screen of Death, depending on the STOP Code.

Here's How:

1. The most important Blue Screen of Death troubleshooting step you can take

    is to ask yourself what you just did. 

    Did you just install a new program or a piece of hardware, update a driver,

    install an update, etc.? If so, there's a very good chance that the change you

    made caused the BSOD. 

    Undo the change you made and test again for the STOP Error. Depending on

    what change you made, some solutions might include:

• Startup using Last Known Good Configuration to undo recent registry and driver changes.
• Use System Restore to undo recent system changes.
• Roll Back device driver to version prior to your driver update.

2. Verify that a minimum amount of free space is available on your Windows
    partition. Blue Screens of Death and other serious issues, like data
    corruption, can occur if there's not enough free space on your primary
    partition used for the Windows operating system.
    Note: Microsoft recommends that you maintain at least 100MB of free space
    but I regularly see problems with free space that low. I usually advise
    Windows users to keep at least 15% of a drive's capacity free at all times.

3. Scan your computer for viruses. Some viruses can cause a Blue Screen of
    Death, especially ones that infect the master boot record (MBR) or boot
    sector.

      Important: Make sure your virus scanning software is completely up to date
    and that it's configured to scan the MBR and boot sector.

4. Apply all available Windows service packs and other updates. Microsoft
    regularly releases patches and service packs for their operating systems that
    may contain fixes for the cause of your BSOD.

5. Update drivers for your hardware. Most Blue Screens of Death are hardware
    or driver related so updated drivers could fix the cause of the STOP error.

6. Check the System and Application logs in Event Viewer (8/ 7/ Vista / XP) for
    errors or warnings that might provide more clues on the cause of the BSOD.

7. Return hardware settings to default in Device Manager. Unless you have a
    specific reason to do so, the system resources that an individual piece of
    hardware is configured to use in Device Manager should be set to default.
    Non-default hardware settings have been known to cause a Blue Screen of
    Death.

8. Return BIOS settings to their default levels. An overclocked or misconfigured
    BIOS can cause all sorts of random issues, including BSODs. 
    Note: If you've made several customizations to your BIOS settings and don't
    wish to load the default ones then at least try returning clock speed, voltage
    settings, and BIOS memory options to their default settings and see if that
    fixes the STOP error.

9. Make sure all internal cables, cards, and other components are installed and
    seated properly. Hardware that's not firmly in place can cause a Blue Screen
    of Death so try reseating the following and then test for the STOP message 
    again:

• Reseat all internal data and power cables
• Reseat the memory modules
• Reseat any expansion cards

10. Perform diagnostic tests on all hardware you're able to test. It's highly likely
      that the root cause of any given Blue Screen of Death is a failing piece of
      hardware:

• Test your system memory
• Test your hard disk drive

          If a test fails, replace the memory or replace the hard drive as soon as
       possible.

11. Update your BIOS. In some situations, and outdated BIOS could cause a
      Blue Screen of Death due to certain incompatibilities.

12. Start your PC with essential hardware only. A useful troubleshooting step in
      many situations, including BSOD issues, is to start your computer with the
      minimum hardware necessary to run the operating system. If your
      computer starts successfully it proves that one of the removed hardware
      devices was the cause of the STOP message.

Tip: Typically, the only necessary hardware for starting your PC through to the operating system includes the motherboard, CPU, RAM, primary hard drive, keyboard, video card, and monitor.

Tips:

1. Find that hardware is the cause of your Blue Screen of Death? Try this:

• Replace the hardware.
• Update the hardware's firmware.
• Make sure the hardware is on the Hardware Compatibility List.
• Check with the manufacturer for support information.

2. Find that a software program is the cause of your Blue Screen of Death? Try  this:

• Reinstall the software.
• Check for and install any available program updates.
• Check with the developer for support information.
• Try a competing program.

How to Change your IP Address (Windows)?

Have you been banned from a forum for speaking your mind? Maybe you’ve been caught experimenting with some video game hacks, and now you can’t play. IP bans can be annoying, especially when they get in the way of our daily internet activities. Follow this guide to get your IP changed and you can get back to doing what you want online. You can also change the IP address of your PC on the network, which is useful for troubleshooting network issues. This guide will show you how to do this. Here I'll show you following two methods:

1. Changing Your Public IP
2. Changing Your Private IP 

Also see: What is the difference between public and private IP addresses?

Method 1 Of 2 -> Changing Your Public IP :

 1. Unplug Your Modem: Most service providers assign dynamic IPs, which change from time to time. By disconnecting your modem for a long period of time, you are likely to get a new address assigned to you when you turn it back on.
 2. Wait for Five Minutes: Some ISPs (Internet Service Provider) will assign a new IP address in as little as five minutes. Reconnect your modem and check your public IP. If it hasn’t changed unplug your modem again and wait overnight (or at least 8 hours).

3 Connect With a Different Device: IP addresses may be assigned based on the first device that’s connected to the modem. This first device is typically the router. To get a new address, try connecting your computer directly to your modem:

• Shut everything down: In order to clear the old settings from your modem, you will need to make sure that everything on your network is powered down entirely, and that your modem is disconnected from the router. There should be no lights showing on the modem. Make sure that your computer is shut down as well.
• Your computer will be connected directly to the internet without the added protection of a router, if only for a few minutes. Make sure that your antivirus is up to date before powering down your computer and continuing the process.
• Connect the modem to your computer via Ethernet. Plug the Internet port in the modem directly into your computer’s Ethernet port.
• Turn on the modem first. Let it power all the way on. This can take up to one minute.
• Turn on the computer: Let it boot all the way up and connect to the internet. As soon as you have a connection shut it down.
• Reconnect the router. Once your computer has been shut down, plug the internet port of the modem into the WAN port of the router. Your network settings should not be changed, but you may have a new public IP now.

4. Contact Your ISP: In some rare cases, you may have a static IP address assigned by your internet service provider. In order to get this changed, you will need to contact their technical support directly. Oftentimes, this can only be changed once. 

5. Mask your IP address with a proxy: Using a Proxy or VPN (Virtual Private Network) will display a different IP address for your connection, often from a different part of the country or world. Reliable proxies and VPNs often require monthly subscriptions.

Method 2 of 2 -> Changing Your Private IP: 

1. Renew Your IP Address in The Command Prompt: To open the command prompt, enter “cmd” into the Search field in the Start menu. In Windows 8, type “cmd” when on the Start screen.

• Once the command prompt it open type: "ipconfig /release"
• After the message is displayed, type: "ipconfig /flushdns"
• After the message is displayed, type: "ipconfig /renew"
• You will see your new IP address and other connection settings displayed.

2. Change Your IP address Through The Router: Routers assign every device on the network a private IP address. You can change the IP address of each device by opening the configuration page of your router.

• Open the LAN Setup section. The wording for the section will vary depending on the router brand. Look for the Address Reservation section. Here you can assign permanent private IPs to specific devices. Create a new entry.
• Select the device from the list of connected devices. If you don’t see it, you will need to manually enter the device’s MAC address and name.
• Choose an IP address. Typically you can leave the first three sections of the address the same (usually 192.168.1). The last section is the number that you should change. On most routers you can enter any number between 1 and 100, although some let you go as high as 254.
• Make sure that the address you pick is not currently in use by another device on the network. This will cause a conflict, and one device will lose its connection

3. Change Your IP Address Through Windows Network Connections: Open Network Connections. Click the Start button, then right-click on Network. Select Properties from the menu. This will open the Network and Sharing Center. Select Manage/View network connections from the left frame.

• Windows 8 users can start typing “network and sharing center” while on the Start screen and select it from the list.
• Windows XP users can right-click on My Network Places in the Start menu and select Properties to see the list of their connections.

4. Right-click the connection that you want to change. Click Properties. If you are prompted for an administrator password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation

5. Click the Networking tab. Under This connection uses the following items: click on Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and then click the Properties button.

• To specify your IP address for IPv4, click Use the following IP address, and then, in the IP address, Subnet mask, and Default gateway boxes, type the IP address settings.
  
   
• A typical IPv4 address looks like 172.27.103.190; a typical subnet mask would be 255.255.255.0. The Default Gateway is generally the address of your router. For example, the numbers for our system are as follows:           
  
  
• Click OK and close all open windows. that's it :)

Warnings:

• As mentioned earlier, these steps will only work if both your computer and the network use DHCP. If you are using a router, and DHCP is enabled, the steps above will only affect the IP address your computer is using on the Local Area Network (LAN) between your computer and the first router "en route" to the Internet. To change the public IP you are using to connect to your service provider, you must instead change the IP address used by last IP address using (OSI Layer 3) device separating the Internet from your computer.
  
• Manually assigning your IP address is also possible, but you run a very high risk of your ISP (Internet Service Provider) banning you from connecting to the internet. To manually change your IP, follow the steps above for Network Connections. Enter an IP similar to the one displayed in the command prompt window. For example, if the IP displayed in the command prompt window is 75.1.2.3, change yours to 75.1.2.4. You’ll also need to manually enter the Subnet, Gateway and DNS Server IP addresses as well. If the new IP you give your computer doesn’t work, chances are someone else on the ISP network has already been assigned that IP. You’ll need to move on to the next one and keep trying until you find an open one. However, some ISPs match up your MAC or modem data to the IP that’s been assigned. If those 2 things don’t match up, you won’t be able to connect no matter what. If your router gets the IP and not your computer, you’ll need to http in to your routers interface and manually assign the IP there. It’s pretty much the same method as assigning the IP to your computer. The method that varies is how you reach your router's interface. You can get those instructions from your manufacturer’s website.

What is the difference between public and private IP addresses?

If your intranet is not connected to the Internet, any IP addressing can be deployed. If direct (routed) or indirect (proxy or translator) connectivity to the Internet is desired, there are two types of addresses employed on the Internet, public addresses and private addresses .
 

Public Addresses:

Public addresses are assigned by InterNIC and consist of class-based network IDs or blocks of CIDR-based addresses (called CIDR blocks) that are guaranteed to be globally unique to the Internet.
When the public addresses are assigned, routes are programmed into the routers of the Internet so that traffic to the assigned public addresses can reach their locations. Traffic to destination public addresses are reachable on the Internet.

For example, when an organization is assigned a CIDR block in the form of a network ID and subnet mask, that [network ID, subnet mask] pair also exists as a route in the routers of the Internet. IP packets destined to an address within the CIDR block are routed to the proper destination.

Illegal Addresses:

Private intranets that have no intent on connecting to the Internet can choose any addresses they want, even public addresses that have been assigned by the InterNIC. If an organization later decides to connect to the Internet, its current address scheme might include addresses already assigned by the InterNIC to other organizations. These addresses would be duplicate or conflicting addresses and are known as illegal addresses . Connectivity from illegal addresses to Internet locations is not possible.

For example, a private organization chooses to use 207.46.130.0/24 as its intranet address space. The public address 207.46.130.0/24 has been assigned to the Microsoft corporation and routes exist on the Internet routers to route all packets destined to IP addresses on 207.46.130.0/24 to Microsoft routers. As long as the private organization does not connect to the Internet, there is no problem because the two address spaces are on separate IP internetworks. If the private organization then connected directly to the Internet and continued to use 207.46.130.0/24 as its address space, then any Internet response traffic to locations on the 207.46.130.0/24 network would be routed to Microsoft routers, not to the routers of the private organization.

Private Addresses:

Each IP node requires an IP address that is globally unique to the IP internetwork. In the case of the Internet, each IP node on a network connected to the Internet requires an IP address that is globally unique to the Internet. As the Internet grew, organizations connecting to the Internet required a public address for each node on their intranets. This requirement placed a huge demand on the pool of available public addresses.

When analyzing the addressing needs of organizations, the designers of the Internet noted that for many organizations, most of the hosts on the organization's intranet did not require direct connectivity to Internet hosts. Those hosts that did require a specific set of Internet services, such as the World Wide Web access and e-mail, typically access the Internet services through Application layer gateways such as proxy servers and e-mail servers. The result is that most organizations only required a small amount of public addresses for those nodes (such as proxies, routers, firewalls, and translators) that were directly connected to the Internet.

For the hosts within the organization that do not require direct access to the Internet, IP addresses that do not duplicate already-assigned public addresses are required. To solve this addressing problem, the Internet designers reserved a portion of the IP address space and named this space the private address space . An IP address in the private address space is never assigned as a public address. IP addresses within the private address space are known as private addresses . Because the public and private address spaces do not overlap, private addresses never duplicate public addresses.

The private address space specified in RFC 1918 is defined by the following three address blocks:

 

1. 10.0.0.0/8: The 10.0.0.0/8 private network is a class A network ID that allows the following range of valid IP addresses: 10.0.0.1 to 10.255.255.254. The 10.0.0.0/8 private network has 24 host bits that can be used for any subnetting scheme within the private organization.

 

2. 172.16.0.0/12: The 172.16.0.0/12 private network can be interpreted either as a block of 16 class B network IDs or as a 20-bit assignable address space (20 host bits) that can be used for any subnetting scheme within the private organization. The 172.16.0.0/12 private network allows the following range of valid IP addresses: 172.16.0.1 to 172.31.255.254.

3. 192.168.0.0/16: The 192.168.0.0/16 private network can be interpreted either as a block of 256 class C network IDs or as a 16-bit assignable address space (16 host bits) that can be used for any subnetting scheme within the private organization. The 192.168.0.0/16 private network allows the following range of valid IP addresses: 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.255.254.

The result of many organizations using private addresses is that the private address space is re-used, helping to prevent the depletion of public addresses.
Because the IP addresses in the private address space will never be assigned by the InterNIC as public addresses, there will never exist routes in the Internet routers for private addresses. Private addresses are not reachable on the Internet. Therefore, Internet traffic from a host that has a private address must either send its requests to an Application layer gateway (such as a proxy server), which has a valid public address, or have its private address translated into a valid public address by a network address translator (NAT) before it is sent on the Internet.

How to Make Internet Download Manager lifetime:

Introduction: This time I’m going to share a nice trick for making IDM life. The positive point of this trick is that while using other cracks or patches, often we face re-doing and re-entering a serial number every time when we restart our system, but by this simple trick, once you are done, you are done forever (Until you re-install a new copy of Windows again).

Here follows the simple steps and instructions: 

1. First, you should install latest version of IDM or any version depends on your

    wish. If you don’t have IDM then don’t worry Download it from Here.

 

2.  After downloading and installation, click on Exit in IDM and make sure that

    IDM is not running on your PC, for surety check system tray. If it’s still

    running then kill the process of IDM from Task Manager. 

 

3.   Now download small IDM Patch software from Here. No need to install this

    software. It’s portable so Run this Patch directly from Zip file. 

  Note: Don’t extract “patch.zip” file because your anti-virus can delete this

           software cause of its illegal.

 

 4. Now Click on Patch and navigate “IDMan.exe” file. Default directory is
     C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Download Manager

                      

5. Now click on Open then it will ask you to enter your First name, so give any

    name which you want, for e.g. I’m giving Hackerz

6. Then click on OK and give your second name, I’m giving Den.

 

7. Click on Ok, Now you will see a message in Patch software

     “Successfully Patched !”

 

8. Now all done so, click on Exit in Patch software and start your full version of

    IDM with lifetime licensed to your name.
