How to recover from a missing or corrupt windows/system32/config/system

Technology ComputersBy TechGyaan

3 weeks ago

In my previous blog we covered How to Fix: "Windows system32 config system is corrupt in Windows Server 2003" now we are gonna follow the same steps to fix missing or corrupted files from Windows xp“windows/system32/config/system”

Resolution

1. Insert your Windows XP CD and reboot from the CD drive

[To boot from CD, go to BIOS Setup option on startup and select your CD/DVD drive as the first boot drive, save the present settings and exit]

Your computer will reboot & will boot from Windows XP

2. Press ‘R’ when offered the option of using the Windows Recovery Console

Recovery Console will prompt at the command prompt type the following:

C:\WINDOWS >cd system32\

this changes the current directory to C:\Windows\System32

ren config configold

This renames the config folder to configold

mkdir config

this makes a new directory called config

cd config

changes the current directory to c:\Windows\System32\Config

then type the following lines pressing enter after each one

copy c:\windows\repair\system

copy c:\windows\repair\software

copy c:\windows\repair\sam

copy c:\windows\repair\security

copy c:windows\repair\default

after each line it should say:

1 file copied

exit

Now your system will reboot

[To boot from Hard Drive, go to BIOS Setup option on startup and select your Hard drive as the first boot drive, save the present settings and exit]

Ubuntu 9.10 Error: Initrd is too big

Technology ComputersBy thejimgaudet

Simple Solution

Unplug any external hard drives you may have and restart!

Hoping

I hope Google takes care of this and makes this post number one. After installing Ubuntu 9.10 and working for a day with no problems I restarted (not the first time) and received the error;

Initrd is too big

That's it, nothing else. So of course I went to Google on another machine to search for a solution that error. There are way too many of these errors for different versions of Linux so I trimmed the search by adding "Ubuntu 9.10" at the end of the search. Keeping the quotes that way tells G that this term carries the most weight.

Still nothing! I was down to the third and forth pages, and now this was taking too much time. Luckily I came across an old post, when Karmic Koala was still in beta, that was related to an external USB hard drive problem. I thought to myself, no way, but I tried anyway.

Unplug the external hard drive, restarted perfect!

I am not sure why, but now I have to unplug my hard drive to restart my computer. I can deal with that, but it's weird that this just started and it didn't happen yesterday.

Note: I have tested for hardware problems and there were none.

If anyone knows has a better solution, please let me know.

Implement Adsense Revenue-Sharing in Multi-Author Blogger/Blogspot Blogs

Technology ComputersBy zainali88

4 weeks ago

If you have multiple authors on your blog then you can share the earnings exactly on the individual's percentage of the actual adsense revenue generated from articles that they have written.

Revenue sharing program on a blog, lets all the authors to put their own adsense ads inside the articles they write. In this way, an administrator doesn't have to pay its writers a fixed amount or share revenue from one adsense account on the basis of pageviews; when the admin and authors have their own separate adsense accounts, revenue sharing scheme eliminates the hassle of sharing the revenue equally and everybody gets his share with justness.

Unfortunately, Blogger.com users find it difficult to integrate this scheme in their blogs as there is no such support of plugins like in wordpress. But on the other hand blogger blog and it's template is so customizable and flexible that you can customize and edit each and every bit of it.

By making some small changes in your blogger blog's template you can implement a revenue sharing scheme without having any expertise.
