Hide Partitions of Hard Disk

Want to hide any partition of your hard disk just follow these simple steps.

1. Goto Start > Run and type diskpart

A DOS window will appear with following description

DISKPART>

2. Then type list volume

All partitions will be listed, there will be also a volume number for each partitions

3. Suppose you want to hide drive E:, type select volume 3 (Here 3 is the volume number of E:, in your pc it may vary). A message will now appear in the window saing "Volume 3 is the selected volume".

4. Now type remove letter E . You may have to reboot the computer. Diskpart will remove the letter. Since Windows XP doesn't have the capability to identify the unknown volume, it won't display or show results from it. To access the content of the hidden drive, repeat the process, but in the foruth step, replace remove to assign, ie., assign letter E

HOW TO OPEN BLOCKED WEBSITES

IF you are not able to visit your favorite websites in your school or college or any place where some sites are blocked?

HERE IS A TRICKS FOR THAT

Below are the list of various sites from which you can surf the blocked websites !

• http://kproxy.com
• http://backfox.com
• http://atunnel.com
• http://calculatepie.com
• http://www.stupidcensorship.com
• http://www.vmathpie.com
• http://www.xroxee.com
• http://mathtunnel.com

Fast Internet Surfing Using Mozilla Firefox

• Type “about:config” into the address bar and hit return. Scroll down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

• Normally Firefox will make one request to a web page at a time. When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really speeds up page loading. Just like the concept of internet download manager which offer faster file download speed.

• Change the entries as follows:

Set “network.http.pipelining” to “true”

Set “network.http.proxy.pipelining” to “true”

Set “network.http.pipelining.maxrequests” to some number like 30. This means it will
make 30 requests at once.

• Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it “nglayout.initialpaint.delay” and set its value to “0?. This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it recieves.
