If the volume is in use, Check Disk displays a prompt that asks if you want to schedule the volume to be checked the next time you restart the system. Click Yes to schedule this.   The complete syntax for Check Disk is as follows: CHKDSK [volume[[path]filename]] [/F] [/V] [/R] [/X] [/I] [/C] [/L[:size]] The options and switches for Check Disk are used as follows: volume Sets the volume to work with path/filename Specifies files to check for fragmentation (FAT16 and FAT32 only) /F Fixes errors on the disk /V Displays the full path and name of every file on the disk (FAT16 and FAT32); displays cleanup messages if any (NTFS) /R

How to Wipe a hard drive

  1) for that you can use Hiren boot cd            or        get parted magic and use Unetbootin to make a bootable USB drive   2 ) The system should booted with parted magic   3) Determine which drive is the one you want to wipe. The tools on the desktop should show you pretty obviously what drive /dev/sdX, most likely it will be /dev/sda  4) open terminal type        hdparm -I / dev / sdX      This will show the information pertaining to this drive   5) If the drive shows that it is frozen (no “not” to frozen) you will need to unfreeze it. The most effective way to do this appears to be to put the computer to sleep. To do this:          a) type echo -n mem > /sys/power/state b) This will put the computer to sleep. Once it’s asleep, you should be able to wake the computer up (touch some keys, move the mouse…) 6) Run the informational hdparm command again: hdparm -I / dev / sdX   Ideally it will now show “not frozen”. If the drive still shows frozen

Atheros WLAN Driver - Connection Issues With Many New Routers

those that have the below listed Atheros adapters, and recently upgraded their routers (usually from a Wireless G to a Wireless N router from 2009 or newer), only to find they cannot connect to the internet anymore. Atheros AR5006 802.11a/b/g WiFi Adapter Atheros AR5007 802.11b/g WiFi Adapter Atheros AR5009 802.11a/g/n WiFi Adapter When using their old equipment, there were no problems. Symptom:  When upgrading to a new router, normally connection is made to the local network, but one cannot access the internet. Symptom:  Wireless connects if using WEP security or no security, but will not connect when using WPA2-Personal security. For those who have the above Atheros wireless adapters, and are experiencing issues with connecting to the internet, there is a driver available that should remedy the situation. It is good for Windows operating systems -- Windows XP through Windows 7 -- 32 or 64 bit. It may work on Windows 8 too, but I haven't tested it on Windows 8.

How to Idendify Hardwares in Windows pc?

            When you are looking for a device driver for a piece of hardware, it is useful to know the hardware id of the device.The hardware identifier is a combination of the bus type, the hardware manufacturer (or vendor) and the device identifier. In some cases additional sub-system identifiers and revision information is included to distinguish between variations of a device. To check the hardware id for a device, follow these steps:  Open the Device Manager by type “devmgmt.msc” at the Run option in the Start menu.  In the Device Manager, right-click the device, and select Properties in the popup menu.  select the Details tab.  select the Hardware Ids in the drop down list. As you can see in the screen shot, there can be multiple hardware ID's for a device. The top one is the most specific identifier, and going down, the identifiers are more generic. The reason this is done is to allow a device driver to be selected based on a match to any of these hardware
