After cutting the information in computer where it is stored temporarily?
It saves temporarily in the RAM, and when you save any information it goes to HDD.
How do you format c drive from bios?
The BIOS does not contain code to allow a drive to be formatted. To do that you must load an operating system over the BIOS.
How to change a secondary hard drive to a primary hard drive?
First partition, don't change anything about the jumpers. If your hard drive is set to master, it will stay master on that partition so it will only make the hard drive as you wish, ''" master or slave ''" ..
Second.. Load the cable at the end of the cable will make master. Here's the deal how to 1 on your motherboard beside the ribbon from your hard drive the plastic cap with some pin in it it 1 say primary beside and 1 say secondary.
Simply open your computer change the hard drive cable from the 1 hard drive to the other 1 hard drive.
1- The easiest way here is to open your case change your ribbon (40 pin) from one hard drive and change it to the other hard drive jumper configuration might be required simple manual easy to configure its a little pin on the back of the hard drive between the power connector and the ribbon tha plastic removable cap
2- If you have 2 hard drive on the same ribbon, those 2 hard drive will be set on the same thing so as primary u will have to get another ribbon plug into your computer board and put one hard drive to that new ribbon and it will make it secondary so the ribbon you have is your primary.
3- I hope you get it about the ribbon. One ribbon is your primary and the other is your secondary dont mess up. There is normally 2 plugs on 1 ribbon. Don't mistake by saying 1 plug is primary and the other is secondary. It's just a master and a slave that's it if you change plug from one hard drive to the other there you can talk jumper but you might need in order to work in your bios to change the startup hard drive on windows and also get to configure jumpers.
Most probably there is a command like this in Autoexec.bat file:
shutdown -r -t 0 -c "Rebooting computer"
You have to get rid off this line or commented it out.

What is the difference between a single port SAS drive and a dual port SAS dive?
The dual port is a separate feature from full-duplex.
Dual porting provides a redundant data path, which performs two functions:
1) Allows the drive to operate at 6GB/s instead of the regular 3GB/s (port combining for superior performance).
2) Allows the drive to continue functioning if and when one port becomes nonfunctional (eliminates single point of failure).
If dual porting were the feature that provided full duplex, neither of these functions would work, however all SAS serial interfaces are inherently full-duplex.
Note also that SATA does not support dual ports or full duplex, even on a controller that supports both SATA and SAS drives. You must use SAS drives to have these features.
How do I convert a Windows formatted hard drive to now work in a Mac computer as the hard drive?
The Windows formatting is probably MS DOS FAT 32 or NTFS. A Mac will be able to read from such formatted discs but will probably have problems writing to them without the aid of software such as MacFuse (See links below) . If you have no need for the Windows formatting connect the drive to the Mac. Open Disk Utility which is in the Utilities folder within the Applications folder. Select the drive from the left hand pane and select Mac OS Extended (Journaled) from the Volume Format drop down menu.
How do you install 2 windows in one drive?

What to do Windows freezes then crashes and on auto-reboot Hard drive not found?
It is recommended that you contact a computer repair professional if you lack the knowledge to repair the system yourself, as you may cause further harm. That being said, a typical repair person would try to isolate the problem one step at a time. First, they would check the cables inside the computer to make sure they are all secure. Rarely, loose cables can come undone (or someone may have intentionally/accidentally disconnected it). If the connections all look secure, the next step is to try and use the hard drive on another computer that is known to work. If it works on that computer, the issue is either the cable or motherboard. If the hard drive fails, it may need to be repaired or replaced. Note that your data is most likely lost if the hard drive is bad, unless you are willing to pay to have the drive repaired or have the data extracted, which may run thousands of dollars. This is why backups are always important, since devices can and do fail sometimes. If the hard drive works on another computer, the repair person can check the cable (swap it out for another), and then the motherboard. In other words, it is likely that there is a hardware failure, since the hard drive "cannot be found." Care must be taken when working with hardware, as a single static shock can render hardware destroyed, which is why this answer includes the recommendation that you contact a professional if you lack the knowledge to attempt such repairs yourself.
Why did deleting the files not make the space on the disk?
In Windows, files are usually not initially "deleted"; they are moved to the Recycle Bin, so that they could be restored later, or, if you choose, permanently delete them. Since they are not deleted, they still occupy space on the hard drive.
Whether the information stored on hard disk can be copied or not?
Off course , this information stored on hard disk can be copied to any other storage device like hard disk, DVD, USB Drive etc.
How hard is it to change 8 plugs on 4-cylinder 1993 ranger?
Very confused.... are you sure there are 8 plugs? There is normally 1 plug for each cylinder. If you have a 4 cylinder Ranger, there should only be 4 plugs, not 8.
And it's pretty easy to change spark plugs. Go to your local auto parts store;ask for FOUR plugs for your Ranger (you need to know the year and engine size).
While purchasing the plugs, you may need to purchase a spark plug socket (if you don't already own one), and a torque wrench (although not required, a regular socket wrench will do but if you use a regular socket wrench you must use caution NOT TO OVER-TIGHTEN the new plugs. Over tightening can break the plug.). If you have or purchase a torque wrench, ask the clerk at the auto parts store for the optimim torque setting. Also ask the clerk at the auto parts store to look up the proper spark plug gap. Most plaugs come "pre-gapped" to the correct setting but it is always a good idea to check. Use a gap gauge (you can pick up one really cheap at the auto parts store or the clerk may have one you can use).
After you have the necessary stuff from the auto parts store, locate the spark plug wire for each plug (doing this one plug at a time....), remove the old plug, put in the new plug, reconnect the spark plug wire.
Best of luck to you.
Answerthe 93 4cyl engines came sith single overhead cam and double overhead cam, the dohc has 8 plugs, 2 per cylinder, 1 hits on the upstroke and the other on the down stroke. the passenger side plugs are easy, the driver side you need swivels, extensions and patience !! AnswerActually the ford 2.3 4 cyl...like 88-94ish had only a SOHC they didnt have any DOHC...they were as close to a hemi as ford could get wihtout copywrite enfringement on Chrysler...the it was supposed to help with fuel economy and power...it was fords way of getting rid of the wimpy 4 cyl image...it didnt work too well..but to the question...as was stated...the passenger are easy...for the driver side...remove the upper portion of the intake...the throttle body and all that and it is much easier to change them New AnswerNew Answer - Posted by Steven In NC This is a little time consuming. Print this out. Decide if you have patience enough to do the job, or pay Precision Tune $398 to do the job.As stated above the Ranger 2.3L for some years has 8 plugs, 2 per cylinder. First, buy good platinum plugs so you won't have to revisit this in another 30K miles...but rather 60-80K. Also, buy top quality spark plug wires and do them at the same time. Here is how to proceed.
Tools you will need. (2) 6inch extensions for your 3/8ths inch socket wrench.
(1) 3inch extension for your 3/8ths inch socket wrench.
(1) Swivle Socket extension for your 3/8ths inch socket wrench.
(1) Small flat head screw driver.
(1) Large flat head screw driver for the intake tube clamp on the throttle body.
(1) 1/2inch socket for exhaust manifold studs.
(1) Spark plug socket with rubber insert to hold plugs in place while inserting & removing.
Some liquid wrench or WD-40.
Some Anti-seize for your spark plugs.
Some Dielectric grease.
Magnetic Pickup Tool may be needed.
Needlenose Pliers
Preparation Steps: Prep Step A - Unhook the round air intake where the air filter is located on the passanger side of the vehicle.
Prep Step B - Loosen the clamp that holds the air tube to the throttle body intake and pull the tube off.
Prep Step C - Remove the tube from the top of the engine that circulates the crankcase air back through the intake tube. It's located right behind the oil filler cap.
Prep Step D - Move the entire air intake tube towards the front of the vehicle and lay it on the radiator/fan area.
Your now ready to start.
Start with the passanger side of the engine. It is relatively clutter free. Start with the 1st cylinder at the front of the engine.
1. Twist & remove the spark plug boot from the existing plug.
2. Use a very small flat edged screwdriver to pry open the clips that hold the plug wires together. Note the entire clip is easy to slide off of the little round mounting grommet attached to the engine...then you can hold it in some good light to get a better view of how to open it with the little flat edged screw driver.
3. Use a 6" extension & a 3" extension & your deep socket for the spark plug. I believe it is a 5/8ths...but can't remember for sure.
4. Remove the first plug, yes it will be tight against the 2nd coil pack, but it does remove without taking the coil pack off.
5. Replace the old plug with a new Bosch Platinum Plus 2 prong plug and use some anti-seize on the threads and tighten to the appropriate torque. For me, that's tight but not too tight.
6. Remove the old plug wire from the coil pack. It will be going to the 2nd coil pack (located to the rear of the first coil pack).
7. Install your new plug wire on the coil pack & coat the inside with some dielectric grease if you have some or if the plug wire set comes with some.
8. Repeat steps 1-7 for plugs on 2 & 3.
9. Plug #4 - the last plug on the passanger side. Remove the two (2) 1/2inch bolts that holds a bracket to the exhaust manifold. Make sure you spray the studs these bolts are on with some DW-40 or liquid wrench. Exhaust manifold studs are notorious for having a lot of rust & being difficult to turn nuts off without shearing off the stud & banging up your knuckles at the same time. It has some sort of aluminum box ontop of this bracket with some sensor wires coming out of it. Slip the bracket off and simply lay it to the rear of the engine to provide better access to this last cylinder.
10. Repeat steps 1-7 for plug #4.
11. Remount bracket containing the aluminum box with sensor wires. Tighten the two 1/2 inch nuts back down.
You have now completed the passanger side of the vehicle. It's should only have taken you about 45 minutes if you were working slow.
Now it's time to do the hard side. The drivers side of the engine appears to be literally encased in fuel injection wiring, and the intake manifold. Slow down, take a break, breath deep. You will NOT have to remove the intake manifold to accomplish this.
Step 12 - You will notice on the first cylinder at the front of the engine the spark plug wire has a grey handle sticking up next to the A/C compressor. Using some pliers (needle nose worked for me) twist & pull this grey handle. The spark plug boot should pop free.
Step 13 - Using your small flat edged screw driver, unhook the spark plug wire clips that hold the wires together. There are 3 - One just after the 1st coil pack located at the front of the engine, another just on the other side of the valve cover and a small 2 clip located about 1/2 way back on the valve cover under the intake manifold. Remember you can slip these clips off of their round mounting points to make access easier to un-hook the clips.
Step 14 - Remove the spark plug wire from Cylinder #1 on the Drivers side.
Step 15 - Using the small flat edged screw driver press the 4 connection points on the grey handle that is attached to the wire. It will separate down the middle and allow you to remove the wire.
Step 16 - Replace the wire with the new wire - ensure you line up the rubber round plugs with the round holes in this grey handle & snap it back together with the new wire in place.
Step 17 - Hold the spark plug socket in your left hand down near the plug. Now feed a 6" inch extension below the A/C Compressor line (black pipe) and the A/C Compressor with your right hand and attach the spark plug socket into the extension. (It will not fit if you try to slide the socket between the Compressor and the black A/C compressor line.)
Step 18 - Slip the socket onto the plug. Attach an additional 3 or 6 inch extension to the existing extension & attach your socket wrench.
Step 19 - Remove the plug & proceed to replace it with a Bosch Platinum plug & anti-seize on the threads.
Step 20 - Feed your new Spark Plug wire over to the 1st coil pack & replace it on the coil pack.
Step 21 - Take a break. Get some water.
Step 22 - Move on to the second spark plug. There is no grey handle on the second spark plug boot. You will be able to reach it & twist the boot and remove it. Replace the wire as you have done previously on the first coil pack.
Step 23 - To remove the second spark plug use your spark plug socket and a 3inch extension. Slide the extension & socket onto the plug. Next get a swivel socket adapter for your 3/8ths inch and attach it to a 6 inch extension. Now connect the 6inch extension & the swivel socket adapter to the 3inch extension. You will now find that it does not bind very much and you will be able to loosen the #2 spark plug.
Step 24 - Repeat Step 19.
Step 25 - Attach the spark plug wire to the plug.
Step 26 - Another break & more water.
Step 27 - Look between the intake manifold tubes & you will see another grey handle for spark plug number 3. Using needle nose pliers reach in between the intake manifold tubes and twist & pull the spark plug boot off.
Step 28 - Un-hook the spark plug wire from the 1st coil pack. Now is a good time to check and make sure you got that 3rd wire clip un-hooked so the spark plug wire will move easily. Now pull the plug wire out between / through the intake manifold tubes until it is free from the engine. Careful, go slow feed with your left hand while pulling slowly with your right hand.
Step 29 - Repeat steps 15 & 16 with this plug wire.
Step 30 - Using a 6 inch extension & another 6 inch extension hooked together, put your spark plug socket on and slide it between the intake manifold tubes and onto the spark plug. Remove the spark plug. If it drops out of your socket, use a magnetic pickup tool (telescoping rod with a magnet on the end) and retrieve your plug from the top of the intake manifold.
Step 31 - Repeat Step 19.
Step 32 - Feed your new spark plug wire through the intake manifold tubes like you removed it. With the coil pack end first and reach behind the intake manifold (yes it's tight but you will be able to feel it) and slowly pull it towards the front of the engine while feeding the plug wire with your other hand.
Step 33 - Using the grey handle and a flashlight, line up and push the plug wire onto the spark plug using your pliers again.
Step 34 - Repeat step 26.
Step 35 - Move to the last plug...your almost there..hang in there! Look between the last 2 intake manifold tubes & you will see another grey handle for spark plug number 4. Using needle nose pliers reach in between the intake manifold tubes and twist & pull the spark plug boot off.
Step 36 - Un-hook the spark plug wire from the 1st coil pack. Now pull the plug wire out between / through the intake manifold tubes until it is free from the engine. Careful, go slow feed with your left hand while pulling slowly with your right hand until the wire is free.
Step 37 - Repeat steps 15 & 16 with this plug wire.
Step 38 - Develop X-ray vision & using the flashlight look and see the very tip top of the spark plug. Line up your two 6inch extensions with your spark plug socket on the end and slip it over this last spark plug.
Step 39 - Going slow, remove the last plug. If it drops out once again use your magnetic pickup tool to retrieve it.
Step 40 - Repeat Step 26.
Step 41 - Proceed to replace it with a Bosch Platinum plug & anti-seize on the threads. This is where your X-ray vision is going to be helpful. This last hole is rather hard to see when you have your spark plug socket in place and are attempting to locate the hole. Remember the hole will be further towards the back of the block than the middle. You will eventually find it and without cross threading the plug it will fit and you can tighten it up.
Step 42 - Feed the spark plug wire once again through / between the intake manifold tubes with the coil end first. You will then use your X-ray vision & needle nose pliers to grip the grey handle and re-insert it over the plug.
Step 43 - Finally you connect this last wire to the 1st coil pack and make sure that the clips on all the plug wires are closed with the wires neatly arranged in them.
Step 44 - Make sure each of the spark plug wires are attached to the coil packs and the two clips on each side of the coil packs are snapped beneath the coil pack connection points.
Step 45 - Slap yourself on the back...your done! Go out to dinner to celebrate the money you just saved!
If a had drive is in master-configuration is it the first device?
no, the BIOS is what chooses the first Boot device. YOU can change the first boot device by altering the BIOS.
if however, you are talking about 1st, 2nd hard drive etc, then yes.
