Opening memory card when password lost


This article tells you how to recover a a micro SD card password and micro SD card password reset in windows. 
This document deals with the issue of losing a password for a MICRO SD card. If the password for the card is lost then it will be blocked for further use. In such a situation, the user can interface their mobile with the PC using Bluetooth or Infrared, make the changes then find the password in the file created thereafter. 
Issue


Solution one:
                                                                                                                      
Go to file manager on your mobile
In Settings choose system folders,
In the System folder, find a file called mmcstore
Send the file to your PC using IR/Bluetooth
Open the file in Notepad
The password you need for your memory card is located within that file

Solution two:

1. Insert your card into your phone, without accessing it through the phone 

2. Run FExplorer and Open the path C:\system 

3. Find the file called mmcstore, and rename it mmcstore.txt 

4. Copy that file (mmcstore.txt) to your PC and open it in Notepad 

5. Your password will be located within that file. 

For Micro SD : - 

Put the card in any E series mobile or N95 etc and format it. It will not ask for a password.

Dual Boot Your Pre-Installed Windows 7 Computer with XP


Dual Boot Your Pre-Installed Windows 7 Computer with XP

So you got your shiny new pre-installed Windows 7 computer over the holidays, but you want to have trusty XP standing by in a dual boot setup. Today we’ll walk through creating a new partition in Windows 7 then installing XP on it.
In this process we are going to shrink some free space on the Windows 7 hard drive to allocate toward a new partition. Make sure to take a moment and decide how much space to use for the XP partition. Make sure you have enough space on your hard drive for files you’ll be adding to each.
Create a New Partition
The first thing we need to do is create a new partition on the Windows 7 machine. Luckily we can do it without any 3rd party software. To begin, click on Start and type eitherpartition or disk management into the search box and at the top of the menu click onCreate and format hard disk partitions.
sshot-2010-01-06-[20-36-31]
The Disk Management window opens, and from here we need to free up space on the (C:) drive Windows 7 is installed on. Right-click on the drive and select Shrink Volume.  
2dual
A window pops up showing the drive is being queried for available space.
3dual 
Now enter the amount of space you want to shrink the volume. You’re shown the total size of the disk and the amount of size that is available to shrink. In this example we’re freeing up 40GB of space.
4dual
After the process completes you’ll see the new Unallocated space. Right-click that and select New Simple Volume.
5dual
The New Simple Volume Wizard launches which is a straight forward process. When you get to the Format Partition section, NTFS is selected by default as the file system and you can leave that as is. You might want to rename the Volume label something else like “XP Partition” so it’s easier to identify when installing XP. Also you’ll probably want to make sure to check Perform a Quick Format.
6dual
After the format is complete you will see the new volume as a healthy partition listed.
7dual
Now when you go into My Computer you’ll see the the new disk and notice that space has been taken away from the (C:) drive Windows 7 is installed on.
8dual
Install XP on the New Partition
Now that you know how to create a new partition on your Windows 7 machine, it’s time to install XP on it. Here we’re installing XP Professional on the new partition. Boot from the XP installation disk and start the install process.
10dual
When it comes to choosing a partition, make sure you select the one you created using the steps above. In this example we made a 10GB partition for the XP install.
11dual
If the partition you created was already formatted as NTFS you can leave it, or you can choose the FAT file system if you want. 
12dual
Basically you continue through as if you were doing a clean install on any hard drive.
13dual
Create Boot Loader
Once installation of XP is successful you can now go through and install the latest Microsoft Updates and drivers. You will undoubtedly notice that the machine is booting directly into XP at this time. This is due to XP writing it’s bootloader over Windows 7’s. To get both XP and Windows 7 as an option at the boot screen you can use the free utility EasyBCD 1.72 or their new 2.0 Beta.
sshot-2010-01-04-[23-04-48] 

After getting the bootloader back you should see both XP and Windows 7 as options in the Windows Boot Manager.

How a Processor is made


From Sand to Processor or How a CPU is made
 
It is hard to believe that a modern processor (CPU) is the most complex product in the world. What is so complex in this piece of metal?

image

In this article I will try to explain how a modern processer (CPU) is made from the sand. 

Processor Manufacturing

It takes about $ 5 billion dollars to build a processor manufacturing factory. This factory approximately has 4 years to return the invested funds in its technology, before it will start making the profit. If we make some simple calculations that comes to 100 microchips per hour that the factory should manufacture in order to return the invested funds. 

The process of processor manufacturing looks like this: the special equipment is used to grow a mono-crystal of cylindrical shape from the molten silicon. Next, this resulting ingot is cooled and cut into the wafers, which surfaces are carefully leveled and polished to a mirror shine. In the bio-clean rooms of semiconductor factories are created the micro-circuitries on the silicon wafers using photolithography and etching. Then lab personnel make the random testing of processors under a microscope after re-cleaning of the wafers, and if everything is okay, the finished wafers are sliced into individual processors, which later are put in the casing. 

Some Chemistry Lessons

Let us take a closer look at the whole process of manufacturing. Sand is made up of 25 percent silicon that is the second most abundant chemical element that’s in the Earth’s crust after oxygen. Sand, especially quartz, has high percentages of silicon in the form of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and is the base ingredient for semiconductor manufacturing.

image

Originally, it is taken in the form of SiO2 sand, which is in arc furnaces (at the temperature about 1800 ° C) reduced by coke:
SiO2 + 2C = Si + 2CO

This silicon is called a "technical" and has a purity of 98-99.9%. For the manufacturing of processors required pure raw material that is called "electronic grade silicon", which should not have more than one alien atom for every one billion silicon atoms. In order to clean it to such level, silicon literally gets "reborn." The silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4) is gotten by chlorination of technical silicon, which subsequently is converted into trichlorosilane (SiHCl3):
3SiCl4 + 2H2 + Si ↔ 4SiHCl3

These recycling reactions that are generated by side silicon-contained materials reduce the cost and eliminate the environmental problems:
2SiHCl3 ↔ SiH2Cl2 + SiCl4
2SiH2Cl2 ↔ SiH3Cl + SiHCl3
2SiH3Cl ↔ SiH4 + SiH2Cl2
SiH4 ↔ Si + 2H2

The silicon enters the melting phase after the purification process. In this picture you can see how one big crystal is grown from the purified silicon melt. The resulting mono-crystal is called an ingot. A mono-crystal ingot is produced from electronic grade silicon. One ingot weighs approximately 100 kilograms (or 220 pounds) and has a silicon purity of 99.9999 percent.

image

The ingot is then moved onto the slicing phase where individual silicon discs, called wafers, are sliced thin. Some ingots can stand higher than five feet. Several different diameters of ingots exist depending on the required wafer size. Today, CPUs are commonly made on 300 mm wafers. Once cut, the wafers are polished until they have flawless, mirror-smooth surfaces. Intel doesn’t produce its own ingots and wafers, and instead purchases manufacturing-ready wafers from third-party companies. Intel’s advanced 45 nm High-K/Metal Gate process uses wafers with a diameter of 300 mm (or 12-inches). When Intel first began making chips, it printed circuits on 50 mm (2-inches) wafers. These days, Intel uses 300 mm wafers, resulting in decreased costs per chip.

image

Manufacturing of chips contains more than three hundred operations in which more than 20 layers form a complex three-dimensional structure. So, here we will talk very briefly only about the most important stages.

Photolithography

The problem is solved by using photolithography technology. It is the process of transferring geometric shapes on a mask to the surface of a silicon wafer. This process involves many steps such as:

Photo Resist Application

The blue liquid that is depicted below is a photo resist finish similar to those used in a film for photography. The wafer spins during this step to allow an evenly-distributed coating that’s smooth and also very thin.

image

UV Light Exposure
At this stage, the photo-resistant finish is exposed to ultra violet (UV) light. The chemical reaction triggered by the UV light is similar to what happens to film material in a camera the moment you press the shutter button.
Areas of the resist on the wafer that have been exposed to UV light will become soluble. The exposure is done using masks that act like stencils. When used with UV light, masks create the various circuit patterns. The building of a CPU essentially repeats this process over and over until multiple layers are stacked on top of each other.
A lens (middle) reduces the mask’s image to a small focal point. The resulting “print” on the wafer is typically four times smaller, linearly, than the mask’s pattern.

image

More Exposing

In the picture we have a representation of what a single transistor would appear like if we could see it with the naked eye. A transistor acts as a switch, controlling the flow of electrical current in a computer chip. Intel researchers have developed transistors so small that they claim roughly 30 million of them could fit on the head of a pin.

Photo Resist Washing

After being exposed to UV light, the exposed blue photo resist areas are completely dissolved by a solvent. This reveals a pattern of photo resist made by the mask. The beginnings of transistors, interconnects, and other electrical contacts begin to grow from this point.

image

Etching

The photo resist layer protects wafer material that should not be etched away. Areas that were exposed will be etched away with chemicals.

image

Photo Resist Removal

After the etching, the photo resist is removed and the desired shape becomes visible.

image

Re-applying More Photo Resist

More photo resist (blue) is applied and then re-exposed to UV light. Exposed photo resist is then washed off again before the next step, which is called ion doping. This is the step where ion particles are exposed to the wafer, allowing the silicon to change its chemical properties in a way that allows the CPU to control the flow of electricity.

image

Ion Doping

Through a process called ion implantation (one form of a process called doping) the exposed areas of the silicon wafer are bombarded with ions. Ions are implanted in the silicon wafer to alter the way silicon in these areas conduct electricity. Ions are propelled onto the surface of the wafer at very high velocities. An electrical field accelerates the ions to a speed of over 185,000 mph.

image

More Photo Resist Removal

After the ion implantation, the photo resist will be removed and the material that should have been doped (green) now has alien atoms implanted.

image

A Transistor

This transistor is close to being finished. Three holes have been etched into the insulation layer (magenta color) above the transistor. These three holes will be filled with copper, which will make up the connections to other transistors.

image

Electroplating the Wafer

The wafers are put into a copper sulphate solution at this stage. Copper ions are deposited onto the transistor through a process called electroplating. The copper ions travel from the positive terminal (anode) to the negative terminal (cathode) which is represented by the wafer.

image

Ion Setting

The copper ions settle as a thin layer on the wafer surface.

image

Polishing Excess Material

The excess material is polished off leaving a very thin layer of copper.

image

Layering

Multiple metal layers are created to interconnects (think wires) in between the various transistors. How these connections have to be “wired” is determined by the architecture and design teams that develop the functionality of the respective processor (for example, Intel’s Core i7 processor). While computer chips look extremely flat, they may actually have over 20 layers to form complex circuitry. If you look at a magnified view of a chip, you will see an intricate network of circuit lines and transistors that look like a futuristic, multi-layered highway system.

image

Testing

Once all of the metal layers are built up, and the circuits (transistors) are all created, it’s time for testing. A device with lots of prongs sits down on top of the chip, attaching microscopic leads to the chip’s surface. Each lead completes an electrical connection within the chip, simulating how it would operate in final form once packaged into end-consumer products.
A series of test signals are sent to the chip with whatever the results are being read. This level of testing includes not only traditional computational abilities, but also internal diagnostics along with voltage readings, cascade sequences (does data flow through as it should), etc. And however the chip responds as a result of this testing, is what’s stored in a database assigned specifically for that die.
This process is repeated for every die on the entire wafer’s surface while all dies are still on the surface.

image

Wafer Slicing

After tests determine that the wafer has a good yield of functioning processor units, the wafer is cut into pieces (called dies).

Packaging

At this point, all working dies get put into a physical package. It’s important to note that while they’ve had preliminary tested and were found to operate correctly, this doesn’t mean they’re good CPUs.
The physical packaging process involves placing the silicon die onto a green substrate material, to which tiny gold leads are connected to the chip’s pins or ball grid array, which show through the bottom side of the package. On the top of that, a heat spreader is introduced. This appears as the metal package on top of a chip. When finished, the CPU looks like a traditional package end-consumers buy.

image

A Finished CPU

A microprocessor is the most complex manufactured product on earth. In fact, it takes hundreds of steps and only the most important ones have been visualized in this picture story.

image
image

CPU Binning

Based on the test result of class testing processors with the same capabilities are put into the same transporting trays. This process is called “binning,” a process with which many Tom’s Hardware readers will be familiar. Binning determines the maximum operating frequency of a processor, and batches are divided and sold according to stable specifications.

image

The best chips are generally binned as higher-end parts, being sold as not only the fastest parts with their full caches enabled, but also the low-voltage and ultra low-voltage models.

Running Mac OS X on Windows using Virtual box


Computer Requirements
You need a computer with Windows to run Mac OS X on Windows (of course). You will need at least 4 GB of RAM and a dual-core (two core) processor or better. Personally, the computer I was using for this had a 4-core processor and 12 GB RAM, which is way more than enough. You also need about 10 GB of unused hard drive space.


Right click on "My Computer" on your desktop and click "Properties" to check the stats on your computer. If it doesn't directly tell you how many cores your processor has, look up your processor model on Wikipedia or Google. You also want to find out whether your processor is made by "Intel" or "AMD". Computers with AMD processors will not work with Lion. If you have a computer with an AMD processor, and you want to install Mac OS X in a virtual machine, you will have to settle with installing Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

General Requirements
·                     Virtualbox : This virtualization suite is free, and though it doesn't offer official support for Mac OS X, it works well enough.
·                     iAtkos : This is a popular distro of Mac OS X Lion. I won't go into details, but you can download it from just about any bittorrent website by using a bittorrent client (it's about 4 GB in size). Unlike the retail version of Lion, you don't have to use a boot CD like iBoot to start the Mac OS X installer. 
You don't have to use iAtkos; all distros and "bootable" versions of Mac OS X Lion do essentially the same thing. All of these distros will be downloaded as ISO files or DMG files, which are DVD images. Be sure not to download a VMWare Image of Lion, as those versions don't work with Virtualbox.

Step 1: Prep
Download Virtualbox, install it, and open it up. Also, if you want to be able to view USB devices from your Mac OS X Lion virtual machine, download the Virtualbox Extension Pack and run it before going to Step 2.

Step 2: Create a new virtual machine.
Virtualbox lets you run Mac OSX within Windows by creating a virtual machine, which is a program that simulates a normal computer.  To create a virtual machine, open up Virtualbox and click "New" on the upper left. Give your new virtual machine a name, and choose "Mac OS X" for the OS Type.


I recommend assigning at least 2 GB of RAM to the virtual machine, but you can assign as little as 1024 MB of RAM. Every time you turn on Mac OS X, that RAM that you assign here will be used to run the virtual machine. The RAM will be given back to your normal computer after you turn Virtualbox off.

You'll need to create a new hard disk for the virtual machine. Virtualbox will ask you what type of disk you want to create: VDI, VDMK, or VHD. VDI is the original format for Virtualbox, while VDMK is the format used by VMWare. If you're considering getting a copy of VMWare, you might want to choose VDMK. Otherwise, just choose VDI. I recommend creating a dynamically expanding disk; the only other option, fixed-size storage, will eat up your hard drive.

Step 3: Give your new virtual machine an operating system.
Your virtual machine will now be created. But don't stop now--you still need to change a few settings before your machine will actually work. Your new virtual machine will show up on the left column of the Virtualbox start page.  Select your Mac OS X virtual machine (single-click) from the main page of Virtualbox, and open up the virtual machine settings. Once the settings open up, go to "System" and uncheck the "Enable EFI" box. This is by far the most important single setting that you will need to change.


EFI, which stands for Extended Firmware Interface, is a feature that helps operating systems start up. Unfortunately, Mac OSX requires 'speshul' EFI, so the EFI that Virtualbox uses doesn't work.

In addition, make sure that "Enable IO APIC" is checked. Then, click on the "Acceleration" tab and check both of the options there. I'm not sure whether these options actually matter (EFI is definitely the most important variable), but it's better safe than sorry.

Once you're done with that, go to the settings for "Storage". In the storage tree box, you'll see a CD icon labeled "Empty". Click on it and click "Choose a virtual CD/DVD disk file". In the window that pops up, choose the .iso or .dmg file for iAtkos (or whichever distro you downloaded).


Step 4: Install Mac OS X Lion
Start up your virtual machine. You should come up to a screen with the black-and-white picture of the iAtkos Lion.
 Press enter to startup the Lion installer.

Continue, and you will eventually come up to a page that asks you for a "destination" for your Mac install. Oh no, the page is blank! We'll have to fix that. To do this, start up Disk Utility (located under the Utilities menu).
Mac OSX can only be installed on a completely clean disk, so you need to use Disk Utility to wipe your Virtualbox hard disk. Click on the Virtualbox hard disk in Disk Utility and erase it. Don't worry, there's nothing important on it.
On the installation page for Mac OSX, the Virtualbox hard disk should now be showing up. Select it and continue.
Once that's done with, Mac OSX will install itself. This will take at least 20 minutes.
When the installation finishes, Mac OS X will crash. This is normal. Restart your virtual machine (make sure not to eject your copy of iAtkos from the virtual DVD drive of your virtual machine).
At the bootup screen, you'll see an icon for the hard drive where you installed Lion. Select it (use the arrow keys on your computer) and press "Enter". Lion will boot, and you should eventually be led to the Mac OS X setup screen. Fill it out, then mission accomplished!

Now you can eject iAtkos from your virtual DVD drive. Right-click on the CD icon at the bottom right of the Virtualbox window, and un-check the iAtkos DVD. (The below screenshot is different because it's taken from my Snow Leopard guide, but it should look something like that.)



Step 5: Make the screen bigger.
Though this step is optional, I still recommend you do it anyways.

When you first use your Mac OSX, you'll probably notice one thing: your screen resolution is 1024x768. Since Virtualbox doesn't "technically" support Mac OS X, there's no official way to change this. But here's how you can change it anyways:

Open up Finder and go to the folder "Extras" in the main hard drive, and open the file org.Chameleon.boot.plist. Between <dict> and </dict> in the file, insert the following line.

<key>Graphics Mode</key>
<string>1280x1024x32</string>

Once you've saved it, reboot. Your resolution will increase to 1280x1024.

Step 6: Turn off updates.
First, an important note: DO NOT UPDATE NORMALLY. This is a golden rule of Hackintoshing, and it applies to virtual machines running Mac OS X too.

Anyways, Mac OS X is set to automatically update itself. This is bad. To turn off automatic updates, click on the Apple icon in the upper left hand corner of Mac OS X, go to System Preferences, and then click on "Software Update". Uncheck the box that says "Check for Updates".
