How to use hard disc system from another computer? - Step 1

	As we know , we can not carry a disk system XP from one machine to another unless the two chipsets motherboards will be identical. More to be more clear, unless the trademark of both disk controllers for both cards will be identical. If you exchange the disc from your PC to another disk from another machine, Windows will not start, it will start and after a few seconds, the system will display a blue screen and restart. It is a protection introduced by Microsoft from version 5.1 of Windows NT, ie Windows XP. Before, it was feasible and without coercion. But if you are really in need to carry a disk system XP from one machine to another, here's a little trick that will be very useful.
	Solutions
	If you are really intended to carry your hard drive, including your operating system Windows XP on another machine, a number of solutions for you: Find a machine with the same brand as your chipset, Repair to use Windows driver disk drive of the motherboard target (next tutorial) Next tutorial: How to fix Windows simply but effectively? Use a pilot universal use on all brands of motherboards without distinction. We will opt for the third option. With this method, Windows XP will ignore the mark of the controller and it will use a generic driver, standard. You can therefore carry your hard drive, including your operating system on any computer supporting Windows XP.
	Practice
	Now enter the heart of the matter, Our goal is to change the pilot of the hard disk controller before removing the hard drive from your system in order to do this, follow these steps: Entering the Device Manager. Plusieurs solutions s'offre à vous mais nous n'allons vous donner que deux les plus utilisés: Several options available to you but we will give you the two most common ones: . Click on the "Start" button then "settings" then "Control Panel" . l Double click on system In the System Properties, click on "hardware" and then on device managers Unroll the group Device "Controllers ATA / ATAPI IDE" by clicking on the + sign next to it Click right mouse on one hard drive controllers in this group Click on "Property" We are now going to change the pilot of the disk controller, arrived in this window, if you click Yes, Windows will seek a better driver for your software on the Windows Update site, which is not our case here, our goal is to change the pilot in a pilot generic standard, already present in all Windows, then check "No, not this time" Then click Next. Windows offers automatically pick the best driver for you, choose "Install from a list ..." Again, as before, choose "Do not search. I will choose the driver to install." It's almost finished. Arriving here, do not forget to check "Display compatible hardware" Select "Controller IDE hard disk / ESDI Standard" We will use a standard driver compatible with all existing disk controllers. That way, Windows will think that our chipset motherboard is equivalent to any other motherboard, then we can carry our hard disk containing the Windows XP operating system without mishap. Click Next. That done, you just have to click on "Finish". Repeat steps 5 through 10 for all devices in the group "Controller ATA / ATAPI IDE" .. You can reboot your machine once all actions completed. Now, you are free to move your hard drive system on any other machine. Note:Sorry for the system in French, I will change it into English later.

Microsoft Outlook has a feature to block the attachments that it considers unsafe. Although Outlook blocks the attachments but attachment still exist in the e-mail message.

Sometimes when there are important attachments which do not open, you might find yourself in trouble.

Recently we received a problem mail from one of our reader who says that:

whenever I try to open a attachment in outlook, gets a message “Outlook blocked access to the following potentially unsafe attachments”

Let’s see how can you alter the attachment security behavior in outlook to open the specified blocked attachment in mail.

Fix:

There are two simple fixes to this problem, the first fix involves a small free outlook plugin which lets you allows any blocked file type in outlook, the second fix is the geeky way out to solve this problem with registry editing.

Attachment Security Plug-in:

AttachmentSecurity is a free plugin for Microsoft Outlook which solves the problem by presenting an easy to use interface that allows you to select which file attachments you want to block or unblock from within Outlook.

As AttachmentSecurity is Microsoft Outlook security plugin you will need to configure it to block or unblock the list of files types from with in the outlook itself ( as shown in the image below, click to enlarge).

Registry Hack (Geeky Way):

1. Exit Microsoft Outlook if it is running.

2. Click Start >> Run, and type regedit, and press Enter.

For Microsoft Office Outlook 2003

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\Security

For Microsoft Outlook 2002

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\10.0\Outlook\Security

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\9.0\Outlook\Security

If the registry key does not exist, then you need to create it at the following registry path:

Remove Warning Pop Up – Your Computer Might Be At Risk

Trouble:

One of our reader asked us about a warning pop up he see on windows startup and he gets very annoyed by that pop which started appearing from the time he upgraded to service pack 2.

As per the reader every time he starts his compute, he see the pop up saying – Your Computer Might be at risk – Antivirus software might not be installed.

This security pop usually appears in windows when you don’t have anti virus installed on yourcomputer or you may have not configured the same in security center in Windows XP with service pack 2.

This could be quite annoying when you are seeing the same pop up again and again even when you have a proper anti virus installed on your computer.

Let’s see how can you disable this security center pop in Windows XP

Fix:

Follow the procedure to remove the security center pop up.

1. Open Control Panel and double click the Security Icon

2. On the left tab you will see resources, find "Change the way Security Center alerts me"

3. Under Alert Settings – Uncheck the Check box which says Virus Protection and click OK

This will suppress the warning at startup. But we recommend to suppress this warning only when you have a reliable antivirus software installed
