Is it useful to mount a bootable CD?

Posted on October 11, 2010 by admin| 3 Comments

I was asking for help with something, and got a response of, “You can mount the ISO file with a program such as isohunt,” which doesn’t quite make sense because isohunt (basic Google, no extreme investigation) seems to be a p2p program, but anyway, the image is for a CD bootdisk, so is there any point in mounting the ISO on my Linux Live CD? The bootdisk is to make changes to Windows, but, if burned, it would show a fullscreen command line program with instructions. So if I mount this using Linux LiveCD on the same computer, will I be able to make the same changes to Windows that I would if I could burn it?

hard drive problem or sumthing else?

Posted on July 21, 2010 by admin| 1 Comment

my mothers computer wont boot it will get as far as the log in screen if you wait 10 mins. the hard drive labors and the read write arm clicks back and forth. i know this is a sign of a bad hard drive however i had another drive do this in my hp and it was just a messed up bootloader. im asking becouse i decided to just go ahead run hdat2 to fix possible bad sectors and then reformat. it will run the bootable cd but after scanning the hardware when i should have disk options on the screen i get nuthing. i dont get no drive found or anyof than just a blank screen with a curser. im thinking i have a busted hard drive. i just find it odd that i cant even get drive options to run off the bootable cd. could a bad hard drive prevent this from running? i did try a linux live cd on the machine and it ran fine. im pretty sure its the hard drive i just wanna be sure before i go spend money i dont have. if not the hard drive what else could i check? or dose this sound like classic hard drive failure??

How to Backup and restore partition over wifi? using only GNU/GPL software?

Posted on May 17, 2010 by admin| 1 Comment

I know about PARTIMAGE, but is there a bootable CD that includes it? and being able to setup wifi card. Maybe some LIVE CD that may be easily modifiable so I can have wifi, and partimage on this. Please suggest me options.

Ultimate Boot CD has linux and partimage, but I do not know how to enable wifi so I can restore partition stored in remote server.

(needles to say that Norton Ghost or any commercial application is out of question)
