What are the Negative effects of formatting a hard drive?

The effect of formating a harddisk with the Windows operating system is reprogramming the harddrive into the NTFS file system. This system basiaclly assigns sections of the harddrive to save data most efficiently. The quick form of the format simply erases all the data. In BOTH cases all data will be lost and will never be recoverable for the lifetime of the harddrive.

What does the cache memory do in accessing data?

Generally, there isn't. Specifically, you got a shot. Here's what I mean.

Cache - Stores minor information in your system from website's such as log-in information, what pages you visited, and what products you looked at. It also saves information pertaining your applications (software) window size and location. Cache is stored in Temp folders, although it is pointless to access this. If you are wanting to clean your Cache, I always recommend CCleaner, I've been using it for years.

What is the limitations of do while loop in c?

To repeatedly perform the logic inside the loop while the condition holds true (you would expect something inside the code block to eventually cause the test condition to evaluate as false).

Most basic examples given in text books use an incrementing variable which could also be implemented as a for loop:

int i = 0;

do {

i++;

} while (i < 100);

A better example would be:

bool door_opened;

do {

door_opened = ring_doorbell(); /* an example function*/

} while (door_opened == false);

PS its probably 10 years since I wrote any C so syntax might not be 100% accurate.

Why does Windows XP shut down when the restart button is clicked?

The 'click the restart' button refers to clicking the 'start/turn off Computer' shown on the bottom-left of the screen in Windows operating systems (95, 98, NT, XP, Vista).

[Anyway, my PC is working fine now after I did a run of 'SPYBOT', an anti-spyware program. Be extremely careful about downloading free software because that's when my problem(s) started. "Spybot Search and Destroy" is quite credible, but it is more important to get it from the original website and not some other free program download websiste. Restart also means to shut down and start up again. so naturally, your computer would shut down and start up again If you press the physical power button on your CPU, computers do a "power off" of the hardware system. Normally you must hold that button for several seconds (3 to 5 is typical ) to shut down. Note that if your operating system (Windows) was still running at the time, you may lose some unsaved settings or documents. To restart, press the button again and it will restart. If you had not properly shut down the operating system (using the 'Start' button and selecting Shutdown) then there may be things the operating system must fix when it restarts. You will see some messages about the processes it is running to repair any damage. This is usually not a big problem as the system is designed to repair those things in such cases. Answer

SYMPTOMS

If you shut down your Windows XP-based computer, your computer may restart instead of shutting down. The computer may also restart unexpectedly while you are using the computer to perform certain tasks. An error message may appear on a blue screen when the computer restarts.

Back to the top

CAUSE

This behavior may occur if Windows stops responding during a typical operation or during the shutdown process. By default, the computer is configured to automatically restart when Windows stops responding. To view this setting, follow these steps:

1. Click the Start button, right-click My Computer, click Properties, click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Startup and Recovery.

2. Under System Failure, view the Automatically restart check box. If the Automatically restart check box is selected, Windows automatically restarts if the computer stops unexpectedly.

RESOLUTION

If your computer constantly restarts while you are using it, or if you are trying to shut down the computer after it has stopped unexpectedly, click to clear the Automatically restart check box. If you clear this check box, you receive an error message when the computer stops responding. This error message may describe the cause of the problem. You can also review the system log in Event Viewer to view the critical stop error that occurs when the computer restarts. For additional information, you can got to Windows in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.

What does to defragment a disk mean?

A disk defragger simply rearranges fragmented files and places them back together in order. This helps faster loading of files and programs. Its important to defrag drives in order to ensure the best performance from the HDD. It can be done manually or automated. Some of the latest technology in defraggers even prevent most fragmentation from happening.

The word "disk defrag" is typically used to refer to the Microsoft Windows utility called Disk Defragmenter. It is designed to solve a problem that occurs because of the way hard disks store data. If you have read the article How Hard Disks Work, then you know three key facts about hard disks: 1. Hard disks store data in chunks called sectors. If you imagine the surface of the disk divided into rings (like the rings of a tree), and then imagine dividing each ring into pie-slices, a sector is one pie-slice on one ring. Each sector holds a fixed amount of data, like 512 bytes. 2. The hard disk has a small arm that can move from ring to ring on the surface of the disk. To reach a particular sector, the hard disk moves the arm to the right ring and waits for the sector to spin into position. 3. Hard disks are slow in computer terms.

Compared to the speed of the processor and its memory, the time it takes for the arm to move and for a sector to spin into place is an eon. Because of fact #3, you want to minimize arm movement as much as possible, and you want data stored in sequential segments on the disk. So let's imagine that you install a new application onto an empty hard disk. Because the disk is empty, the computer can store the files of the application into sequential sectors on sequential rings. This is an efficient way to place data on a hard disk. As you use a disk, however, this efficient technique becomes harder for a disk. What happens is that the disk fills up. Then you erase files to reclaim space. These files that you delete are scattered all over the surface of the disk. When you load a new application or a large file onto the disk, it ends up being stored in hundreds or thousands of these scattered pockets of space. Now when the computer tries to load the scattered pieces, the disk's arm has to move all over the surface and it takes forever.

The idea behind the disk defragmenter is to move all the files around so that every file is stored on sequential sectors on sequential rings of the disk. In addition, a good defragmenter may also try to optimize things even more, for example by placing all applications "close" to the operating system on the disk to minimize movement when an application loads. When done well on older disks, defragmenting can significantly increase the speed of file loading. On a new disk that has never filled up or had any significant number of file deletions, it will have almost no effect because everything is stored sequentially already. As you might imagine, the process of indivdually picking up and moving thousands of files on a relatively slow hard disk is not a quick process -- it normally takes hours. Starting with Windows 98, the defragmenter places the data on the hard drive in the same sequence Windows uses it. The Windows 98 defragmenter also knows what programs you run the the most often, and places those on the disk so the computer can access it the fastest possible time.

For the defragmenter to properly run, ensure you have no applications running. Typically, SYSTRAY and EXPLORER are all you need to have running to run this application. You can see the active tasks you have running by doing a "three-finger-salute" (Ctrl+Alt+Del). Disable any screen saver in use, too. The defragmenter will fail to stay running if your system is constantly accessing some other application like Findfast.exe, a resource user that automatically gets installed with Microsoft office. To prevent Findfast.exe from running at every system boot, simply delete it from your Windows STARTUP folder, or look for the Findfast icon in control panel and change its setting. The defragmenter can take a considerable time to run, so start the Defragmenter before going out for the evening or at the end of the day, before going to sleep.

How do you install software without administrator rights?

[quote]There is a reason why this isn't allowed. The company could be held liable for copyright infringement laws if they allowed 'pirated software' to be installed on company owned machines. Corporations have site licenses certain software applications.

You could submit your request in writing to the IT people - best guess is that they will deny your request.

or you could try to get it in .zip (compressed folder) i have done this many times it works great.[/quote]

What his person is trying to say is... they completely avoided the question and offered no solution. Well... to answer your question... there are many ways too install programs on a computer without admin. You can make files zip by right clicking and "save link as" when you do that you can put ".zip" at the end of it so you can unzip the program. You can also use another operating system to be able to install programs. You can also restart the computer, keep hitting F8 until you see a screenw ith a bunch of different options... now select "safe mode" and login... you can create an account via: control panel> users or user accounts. there you can create a user and alter user settings. However there are some systems that have a very good control over what is done to the computers. for a strong system i would suggest a Linux boot drive (preferably usb). Hope this helped in your big adventures :P
