Check Bad Hard Drive Sectors with Windows Surface Scanner

Raj — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 12:49:23 +0000

Windows Surface Scanner is a free but powerful software which quickly scan your hard drives and let you know if there are any sector errors. This free utility takes a look at your hard drives and ferrets out any physical errors it finds, so you know what might be causing random crashes or system flakiness. This software will read each sector of a physical drive that is currently mounted on an XP, Vista, or Windows 7 operating system.

How to use it:-

1. Press the ‘Mount’ button. That will query your system for all physical
Drives currently mounted. Once found a list will be presented to you with check
boxes next to each drive. You may only choose on drive at a time to scan.

2. Use the check boxes to the left of the drive to indicate which drive
you wish to have the software scan. One again, only one drive may be
scanned at a time.

3. Press the ‘Scan’ button. This will start the surface scan of the
currently selected drive. As the scan progresses the progress bar will move
forward and a percent indicator above the progress bar will be incremented.
A ‘Sector’ counter will be incremented to give you an indication that the
software is indeed scanning the surface of your drive. In addition there is a
‘Time’ indicator that will give you an estimate as to the time remaining for the
current scan. This time can fluctuate if there are several or just a few bad
sectors on the drive.

Lastly, there is an ‘Error’ indicator. This indicator will increment every time
the software encounters a bad sector.

Windows 7 Taskbar on XP with ViGlance

Raj — Thu, 13 Aug 2009 11:22:51 +0000

ViGlance is a nice utility that was designed in order to bring you the beautiful effects and the enhanced functionality of Windows 7 taskbar. Now you can re-arrange the ViGlance taskbar to suit your personal perference by dragging and dropping items to your prefered positions. Pinned item order will be remembered and used everytime you open ViGlance.

Features of “ViGlance”:

Take control of your taskbar with process grouping:
· ViGlance groups windows relative to their process. Each open application reserves its own space on the bar. Windows relative to that application are then grouped as children of that application on the bar. This keeps the taskbar clean and better organised into a more logical grouping system.

Enjoy true 48×48 Vista/7 icons from your taskbar:
· Normally Windows XP and Vista is only capable of showing 16×16 sized icons on the taskbar. Yet we tend to respond better to pictures than text. Meaning we rarely read the text labels on our taskbar. The ViGlance superbar displays full colour 48×48 icons making it quicker to identify and manage your tasks.

Replace that ugly start button with a 7 Orb replica:
· The start button in Windows XP isn’t very pretty; it’s too big and ugly and its horrible shade of green. ViGlance replaces that horrible oversized start button with a small and efficient start orb. Whilst at the same time delivering a smooth fade transitional rollover effect like that of Windows 7.

“Glide effortlessly between tasks” – 7 Style transition effects:
· “Information shouldn’t just appear on the screen to the user” (MSDN). ViGlance implements a transition effect system I call “Glide”. This is based somewhat on the Aero peak feature from Windows 7. Each group is dynamically resized via the glide animation to fit the size of the available information to be presented, allowing you to “Glide” between each group on the Super Bar.

Run Windows apps on Linux, Solaris and Mac OS X

Raj — Mon, 25 May 2009 10:01:02 +0000

Wine enables Linux, Mac, BSD, and Solaris users run Windows applications without a copy of Microsoft Windows. Wine is free software under constant development. Wine does not require Microsoft Windows, as it is a completely free alternative implementation of the Windows API consisting of 100% non-Microsoft code, however Wine can optionally use native Windows DLLs if they are available. Wine provides both a development toolkit for porting Windows source code to Unix as well as a program loader, allowing many unmodified Windows programs to run on x86-based Unixes, including Linux, FreeBSD, Mac OS X, and Solaris.

Wine is still under development, and it is not yet suitable for general use. Nevertheless, many people find it useful in running a growing number of Windows programs.
