HOW TO RIP DVD'S WITH IMGBURN
If
you know about using the VLC player to rip a DVD to an MPEG-1 file,
then remember it’s not the only way. Technically, this gets the job
done, but there are other options available. Storage is very cheap, so
why not retain the full image quality and size as well as all the menus,
languages, subtitles and bonus material from the original DVD? Using
ImgBurn for free (www.imgburn.com),
you can rip the entire disc to an ISO file and then use the VLC player
to watch the DVD just like you would have if you had the physical disc
in your drive.
BURN AN ISO IMAGE IN WINDOWS 7
Hey, do you know what
an ISO image is? Basically, it’s a ready-to-go file that can be burned
to a CD or DVD, but there’s more to it – click here
if you’re interested. What I’m talking about here, however, is Windows
7′s ability to burn ISO images without any extra software required!
If you have an ISO image on your computer and you’d like to burn it to a CD or DVD simply locate the ISO file, right-click it and select Burn Disc Image.

ISO IMAGE
Ever wonder what
this term involves? You may know that it has something to do with the
digital world, but what exactly does it entail? Well, I’m here to fill
you in today!
First of all, an ISO image is known as a .iso file and it is just another term for a disk image or any optical disk image. It’s basically an exact copy of an already existing file, which is why it is commonly associated with CD and DVD burning. An ISO file is usually created through special software that allows you to actually create the exact copy of a CD or DVD’s contents. Along with that, you’re able to edit the files as needed. So, for example, if you ever burn a copy of a music CD, you’re creating an ISO image in the process. This obviously holds true for anything you burn onto a disk (music, videos, pictures, documents and so on).
Now, you can do this with any type of burning software. Your computer may have come with some type of program already installed on it or maybe you went out and bought something different. Either way, if you have a burner and the software to go along with it, you’ve been creating ISO images without even knowing it all this time. Cool, huh?!

HOW TO GET BACK YOUR FORGOT PASSWORD OF YOUR WINDOWS
Have
you ever lost your Windows password? Did you ever want to know how
secure your Windows password really is? Well, you’ve come to the right
place. In this tutorial we’ll talk about a program called Ophcrack,
which is used to “crack” Windows passwords. This program works for
Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
1. Go to the Ophcrack website and download the program. If you want to crack the password of a computer that uses XP, download the “XP LiveCD”. For a computer that uses either Windows Vista or Windows 7, download the “Vista LiveCD”.

CHANGING THE BOOT SEQUENCE OF YOUR COMPUTER
When
you first start your computer up, your screen is black with all kind of
stuff that is written out and kind of flies by and you normally don’t
sit and read it because when you really think about it, who cares what
it is? I never did – all I cared about was getting to Windows as quickly
as possible (I’m telling you, I am all about the speed).
Well, that black screen with all of the junk on it when you first boot (start) up your computer is what you see while your computer is starting to test hardware and other parts on your computer to make sure that everything is a-okay so that it can proceed into Windows. Your computer only knows how to do this by the chip on your motherboard telling it what to do. This chip is called the BIOS (Basic Input Output System). The BIOS is what’s responsible for checking the CPU, disk drives, the system clock, the system fans, etc. and so it issues the POST (the power-on self tests) to check everything. (I know this is probably way confusing, but bear with me, there’s a reason for all of this, I promise.)
