What must you do to re-record a rewritable DVD plus RW?
First, you must insert the DVD+RW disc into a DVD burner that supports ReWritable media. In Windows, the DVD will usually open as a directory on your computer. Select any files you don't want to keep on the DVD after you finish re-recording, then delete them. Copy any files that you do want on the DVD after you re-record, and click "Burn to disc".
There are multiple applications available for Windows, OS-X, and other operating systems, and while the specific steps for re-recording on a DVD+RW are, for the most part, different, the basics are all the same as described above.

What are the names of the original Windows OS and when were they released?
The original Windows OS was either Windows 1.0, released in 1985 or Windows NT released in 1992.
Windows 1.0 is sometimes not considered an actual operating system because it ran inside of MS-DOS as its own executable file. However, it did provide many operating system like features, such as device drivers, virtual memory, (co-operative) multitasking and demand-loading of executable code/static data.
Windows NT was its own stand alone Operating System and did not depend upon MS-DOS. In fact, MS-DOS ran inside of Windows NT as a virtual machine! Windows NT was the first operating system to provide "preemptive multitasking" - where the operating system is able to take away a program's control of the CPU against its will so that another program can execute.
Windows 95, though still dependent upon MS-DOS as a boot-loader, was closer to a bona fide operating system than Windows 1.0 - but alas, as its name suggests it was released in 1995, thus making it newer than NT.

What is the difference between DOS and Windows environment?
In the DOS environment, all your commands are entered from a prompt, perhaps looking something like this ">C:".
In the Windows environment, all your commands are initiated from an icon instead of having to remember what they were as was the case with DOS.
.................
DOS (disk operating system) preceded Microsoft's Windows OS. DOS was originally developed for mainframes in the late 1950s and was a keyboard or punch-card command driven OS. Operators were essential to running the systems. They entered in start, batch, check-point, cancel and print commands. In the late 1970s people at MIT and Stanford began adapting a simple DOS to the newly invented microprocessors and for about 10 years DOS was the king of "early PCs." The early Apple-I computer ran DOS on a proprietary Motorola chip set.Then Microsoft moved away from DOS toward a graphical user interface like the one Apple had created for its Macintosh line of personal systems. So keyboard commands were replaced with point-and-click (mouse) mechanisms to initiate computer functions. Click on a desktop folder icon to show file management information instead of DIR *.exe in DOS. Click on MediaPlayer to play MP3 audio instead of RUN ZOOMER C:\music\ FLIGHT.mp3 and so forth.
As great as the divide from DOS to Windows, the divide from Windows to the NOS (next OS) is far beyond the much praised Linux OS; it will include international verbal commands, 3D monitors, pre-emptive error elimination, universal self-interfacing to any connected devices, total immunity from intentional network attacks and run on hyper-speed devices as small as cell phones, yet 1000 times more powerful by 2010.
- DOS uses CLI (command line interface), whereas Windows used GUI (graphical user interface)..
- DOS does not support networking, Windows does..
- DOS is a single user OS, Windows is Multiuser..
- DOS is a single tasking OS, Windows is Multitasking..
- Dos is a single threading OS, Windows is a Multithreading..
- DOS supports 2 GB of maximum partition size, Windows supports 2 TB or more..
- DOS uses FAT 16 file system, Windows uses FAT 32..
- Server administration is not possible in DOS..

Is Linux or Windows the better choice for deployment at a university?
Whether Windows or Linux is the better choice depends on the skill set of students & admins and on the policy chosen by the university's IT dept. A university is different from a company or a private individual. Its choice of OS it uses for its employees, students & servers powering their website depends not only on easy of use, Total Cost of Ownership or uptime. By chosing an OS it commits the institution and its members to its use during their time there and even after they leave the organisation after graduation. It's like a bank account, you don't switch to another provider easily after you're used to one. It's a choice of principle that guides the alumni as well. Open source software like Linux offers all the tools that Windows offers, even proprietary applications that only run on Windows can be run on Linux using Wine or CrossOverOffice. Not only Science or IT students benefit from using Linux, it is also beneficial for Alpha(languages) or Gamma(social sciences) students because it enables them access to a toolbox that is free of charge. If student's skill sets are lacking then universities should offer a preliminary course in computing. Given the dangers of unsafe computing that should be mandatory. It's NOT an ideological choice, but a practical and intellectual one. Having Linux skills gives you an advantage, because you not only know HOW to use the OS but also to tinker 'under the hood' if opportune, something not possible with Windows(unless you're a programmer at MS). It's powerful, fast, reliable and you're not depending on closed and expensive technology. You're not 'locked' into buying licences when you're installing new apps. An academic should be expected to THINK and KNOW MORE than an average individual and make informed choices. That even MIT advises the use of Windows to its students is a sign that universities underestimate the intellectual competencies of their students. Independent thinking goes hand in hand with informed choices, NOT the easy option(our students know Windows already...). That said logging onto the university's network should be possible with Linux, OSX and Windows. Students should have the choice to run whatever OS they want on their private computers. Interoperability and openness should be paramount, stimulating intellectual exchange.
Replmon is the first tool you should use when troubleshooting Active Directory replication issues. As it is a graphical tool, replication issues are easy to see and somewhat easier to diagnose than using its command line counterparts. The purpose of this document is to guide you in how to use it, list some common replication errors and show some examples of when replication issues can stop other network installation actions. for more go to http://www.techtutorials.net/articles/replmon_howto_a.html
