You have to have "Administrator" privileges to do that, and if you have Administrator privileges, you should be knowledgeable enough so that you should not have to ask the question.'
(Under Windows OS it is in the Administration toolset)
Example of a magnetic storage device?
MAGNETIC Storage Media are the Hard disk drivestypesthat make use ofMAGNETIC PLATTER and Read\Write Sensor (Read - Sensing Polarity, Write - Altering theinclinationi.e. sensor attracted or repelled)over the microscopic area on the Platter) for storing Digital Information in form of Binary Signals.
Steps to boot computer without power on password?
You can turn off the password. Then you will be able to reboot it whenever you want without needing the password.
What improvements would be by upgrading the motherboard?
Some motherboards are extremely large and will not fit in some cases.. that can be an issue, though it will be immediately obvious.
A more important check is that your parts will be compatible with the board which will simply require some quick research.
Beyond that, there's nothing to worry about

Is a CD reader an input or output device?
A CD or DVD drive is a media device. Data is usually read from it, but data can also be sent to it if it has writing capabilities.
What is ohs in computer hardware servicing?
OHS is an abbreviation with many interpretations. The closest interpretation with regards to computers would be the Oracle HTTP server, a web server based upon the Apache HTTP server. HTTP is the hypertext transport protocol, as used by the WWW (world wide web) to serve web pages to clients (user agents or internet browsers). OHS is primarily used on Windows platforms as it is faster than Apache, which is more suitable for Linux-based systems.
Will pcie x16 graphics cards work with pcie 2.0x16 motherboards?
Yes this will work,
however keep in mind that PCI-e 1.0 has a data rate limit of 250MB/s ,
and PCI-e 2.0 has a data rate limit of 500MB/s,
So using a 2.1 card in a 1.0 bus limit it's data rate,
and will not utilise the card to the fullest of it's capabilities.
How do you make your task bar disappear?
Right click on your windows taskbar, go to properties, under the taskbar properties you will get the taskbar appearance pane in which you check the Auto hide the taskbar option and your taskbar will get disappear.... whenever you need it just hover you mouse to the bottom of your desktop it will reappear....
A multi-threaded application is an aplication that runs better on a dual core or quad core processor. The application splits up the tasks for example in a game it might use one core for rendering terrain, and another for sounds or 3d rendering.
'Cause my brother fell my laptop on the ground and I don't know if it's already broken. I'm so scared 'cause this laptop is so expensive. :(
A form of digital communication was developed in the 1960s with the advent of T1 trunking. DSL was developed by Bell labs in the 1980s.
CPU is stand for Central Processing Unit. The CPU is divided in 2 parts such as
CU, ALU and other Registers, Instruction Decoder and Bus Interface.
There are mainly 6 types of Registers
instruction decoder is decode the instruction
There are 3 type of bus
Address Bus, Control Bus, Data Bus.
How is a modems speed measured?
If we are talking dial up modems that is 56K in today's world. My first system had a 300/ 1200 baud modem that you stuck the telephone receiver into and closed the cover over it. Talking in the room would sometime make the system hang up. Times have changed
What are five constituent of a computer system?
*storage
*arithmetic and logical unit (ALU)
*control unit
*input devices
*output devices
What is difference between Binary numbers and Decimal Numbers?
Binary can only be 1 & 0. Decimal numbers have a dot in them.
Binary numbers use only 2 symbols (0 and 1) to represent different numbers, while decimal numbers use 10 symbols (0 to 9) to represent different numbers. check the below link for more.
1. A unit of computer memory or data storage capacity equal to 1,048,576 bytes (1,024 kilobytes or 220 bytes).
2. One million bytes.
Usage In computer science and industry usage, the prefix mega- often does not have its standard scientific meaning of 1,000,000, but refers instead to the power of two closest to 1,000,000, which is 220, or 1,048,576. The calculation of data storage capacity (measured in bytes) is based on powers of two because of the binary nature of bits (1 byte is 8, or 23, bits). Thus, a megabyte is 1,048,576 bytes, although it is also used less technically to refer to a million bytes. Other numerical prefixes are interpreted similarly. With data transmission rates (measured in bits per second), a bit is considered as a signal pulse, and calculations are generally based on powers of ten. Thus, a rate of one megabit per second is equal to one million bits per second. However, in certain technical contexts, megabit can also refer to 1,048,576 bits. Similarly, the prefix kilo- refers to 1,000 or 210 (1,024); giga- to 1,000,000,000 (one billion) or 230 (1,073,741,824); and tera- to 1,000,000,000,000 (one trillion) or 240 (1,099,511,627,776).
Is a DVD player an output input or both?
It can be both, depending on where it is in the process. In most cases, it will be an output into another device, so it would be plugged into the input of the other item.
In a typical cable TV set up, the cable would go into the input of the DVD and the output of the DVD would go to the input of the television.
Is a blank music CD-R different from a blank Data CD-R?
It depends:
For computer CD-Recorder drives: No. They are exactly the same. However, when you burn the CD you can choose to burn it as a music CD or as a data CD.
For stand alone CD-Recorders: Yes. Stand alone CD-Recorders will only record on a CD, that has its Digital Audio Music format. Stand alone CD-Recorders are very picky about which CDs you use. Stand alone CD-Recorders will not record on a data CD-R.
A blank Music CD-R is designed for stand alone CD-Recorders.
A blank data CD-R is more designed for computer CD-Recorders.
However a computer CD-Recorder can either record on a Music CD-R or a Data CD-R.
What is the maximum recommended length for a standard RS-232 cable?
Depends what you mean by a serial cable - Fibre, Ethernet, RS232, RS485, RS422, USB, HDMI, SMPTE292 are all examples of serial communications media.
RS232 max length 50 ft
Ethernet max length 100 m
What is the difference between a physical drive and a partition?
The terms partition and volume are often interchangable and for most purposes the end user doesn't need to understand the difference. There is one however, and this is that partitions are physical separations on the hard drive, often but not always created by the user during installation of an operating system. Volumes on the other hand are logicalseparations of the hard drive. The difference for all intents and purposes is usually the same, but that logical systems of any sort only work within the context of the OS that is being used, where as physical systems will be permanent and recognized by any software.
