Use your USB flash drive as virtual RAM

Today I´m gonna show you how to use a USB thumb drive as a virtual RAM device for your PC.
The thumb drive I'm using is a 4 GB from Kingston. The size should be less than 4 GB.
Follow the screenshots below to go through theSteps.

Step 1:
Rename your thumb drive  as "RAM DRIVE", so you can see that it is the one which is used as RAM.

Step 2:
Delete all the stuff one the pen drive. Look also after hidden once.

 
Step 3:
Right click on "My Computer" --> Properties

Step 4:
click on "Advanced Tab" -->"Settings" (under performance)

 

Step 5:

click on "Advanced" -->  "Change"

 

 

Step 6:

Click on your thumb drive above  --> "Custom Size"  -->
you can see the size of your flash drive (in this case 3844Mb)
calculate: size of flash drive - 5 Mb
in this case: 3844- 5 = 3839
Now type this size in the first box and also In the second box type the same Size (see picture) -->
Click "Set" and "OK" 

Step 7:
Click "Apply", click not "Cancel" or  "OK".
After you have clicked "Apply", click "OK".
Restart your computer.

 

Warning:
Don´t pull out your thumb drive after you made these changes, because it´s being used as virtual RAM device. It may crash your computer if you pull out your thumb drive. Do it on your own Risk

If your computer didn´t get really faster or you have other reasons to remove the USB thumb drive than take the following steps:
Go to step 6 and choose your USB thumb drive, than click "no paging file" --> "Set" -->"OK" --> "Apply"

 

 

Done... :))

Convert Windows XP SP2 into SP3 without any setup program: Simple trick

These days the technology is changing very rapidly and with in a short span of time we have to update with the new patches ans supplement for several software, though these are always in the favor of the end user but most of the time we just don’t want to implement these latest changes. Like me, I wanted to install Microsoft Visual studio 2010, which requires windows SP3 installed to run it but I just don’t want to do so. So should i left it or there are any alternatives… Yes I have found one… And it is described below:

As for most of the programs they usually look into the info about the system status into the registry file to locate the software and patches which decides their performance. So here is the trick to fool such programs which requires Windows XP SP3 patch by altering the Windows XP SP2 version info. To do so go to windows run command (Using windows key +R) and then, type regedit to open Registry Editor And Click on the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.

 

So now you have registry editor opened then only browse to the following key:

Now follow These steps to goto the KEY

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ CurrentControlSet\ Control\ Windows

System>CurrentControlSet>Control

Control>Windows

Double Click on the CSDVersion that is on the Right side
and modify “CSDVersion” from “0×00000200” (SP2) to the Windows XP SP3 value of “0×00000300” and reboot

 Change the Value From 200 To 300 And Reboot To see the changes


If anyone is facing any problem with modifying the registry manually; they can download the registry file from the below link and double click on the registry file just download. Doing so will ask a confirmation to modify the registry say yes and it will do the needful task automatically.

Click Here To Download!!!  (Note: This is in ZIP archive extract it first)

This is the simple trick which will bypass the information so that any program require SP3 (and you only have Sp2 ) would work. So now enjoy; with all the gaming fun as I do.

How To Make Bootable USB Through CMD

Having a bootable USB is very essential, especially if you are a Netbook user. Using bootable USB to install an operating system (OS) not only makes the installation faster, but also saves a DVD.

Creating or using an USB drive to install Windows operating systems is very easy if you follow the below mentioned steps:

Note that this bootable USB guide will not work if you are trying to make a bootable USB on XP computer.

Coming back to bootable USB guide, here we assume that you are using either Vista or Windows 7 to create a bootable USB.

1. Insert your USB (4GB+ preferable) stick to the system and backup all the data from the USB as we are going to format the USB to make it as bootable.

2. Open elevated Command Prompt. To do this, type in CMD in Start menu search field and hit Ctrl + Shift + Enter. Alternatively, navigate to Start > All programs >Accessories > right click on Command Prompt and select run as administrator.

3. When the Command Prompt opens, enter the following command:

DISKPART and hit enter.

LIST DISK and hit enter.

Once you enter the LIST DISK command, it will show the disk number of your USB drive. In the below image my USB drive disk no is Disk 2.

4. In this step you need to enter all the below commands one by one and hit enter. As these commands are self explanatory, you can easily guess what these commands do.

SELECT DISK 2

CLEAN

CREATE PARTITION PRIMARY

SELECT PARTITION

ACTIVE

FORMAT FS=NTFS

(Format process may take few seconds)

ASSIGN

EXIT

Don’t close the command prompt as we need to execute one more command at the next step. Just minimize it.

5. Insert your Windows DVD in the optical drive and note down the drive letter of the optical drive and USB media. Here I use “J” as my optical (DVD) drive letter and “M” as my USB drive letter.

6. Go back to command prompt and execute the following commands:

J:CD BOOT and hit enter. Where “J” is your DVD drive letter.

CD BOOT and hit enter to see the below message.

BOOTSECT.EXE/NT60 M:

(Where “M” is your USB drive letter)

7. Copy Windows DVD contents to USB.

You are done with your bootable USB. You can now use this bootable USB as bootable DVD on any computer that comes with USB boot feature (most of the current motherboards support this feature).

Note: If you are not able to boot after following this guide means you haven’t set the BIOS priority to USB. If you got any problem in following this guide feel free to ask questions by leaving comment.
