Well, about the hard disk, even a WD is considered a good HDD these days.

About the anti-virus, nothing beats a Microsoft Security Essentials. It's not resource hungry, it's free and it's awesome! (If you have a genuine windows ofcourse D:)

P@GALGUY Says

My suggestion would be in favor of Segate

I have been using WD for over a year and a half, no problems so far..
Another thing in favour of WD would be there service in case there is a failure.. I don't need to find a place to drop the disk, their service personnel come and pick it up..

People With Basic computer Knowledge opt for an assembled cos it costs much lesser. U get around 5 to 10 k savings.It is best choise to go for assembled computer. by selecting assembled computer we have more freedom to choose different things in our own way, and we also able to use our knowlege for buying computer parts. In Branded computer all the part belong to same campany, and it not the case that these companies have all good stuff. In assembled computer we also have freedom to choose the thing according to our financial level.So you decide what you have to do

Hey palak thanx a lot. I downloaded the wrong software

aprofessor Says

Hi i downloaded this but it is only a pdf file reader. It doesnt comvert to word :nono:

Did you download PDF To word Convertor, then it does converts PDF to word. You can download it from here. I have it on my machine. Here is the screenshot:-

You can try this:-

Free PDF to Word Doc Converter - easy and powerful pdf converter software.

For creating PDFs you can use PDF Creator. You can add it as a Printer and when you need to convert anything to PDF, then just give the Print (Ctrl+P) command and select this as a printer. You will get excellent PDF files. Or you can use CutePDF.

But,
I am in Love with playbook
After doing hell lot of research...


Q1.>> No 3G/4G , only WIFI. The new model will be launched later this year or in 2013
A1>>Solution to this , Android Wifi Hot spot. Take a nice Data plan & use it when there is no Wi FI. [ I have Hotspot in my phone]
Plus , the cost of new model can be anything from 15,000 till 25,000.. [Guessing]



And yes , the apps... OS 2.0 is not a let down since it upgrade in early 2012.
OS 2.1 is also on the cards.
Limited apps is a constraint , but 2.0 have slightly helped in this regards.

My budget can't exceed above 14,000 , so may be I will zero in on playbook only

Yeah, the new OS is good. I was expecting better Android integration in the new OS. But considering the efforts RIM is putting in, the Playbook experience will improve for sure.

14000 is too less to get a good tablet. I have used the Blackberry playbook. While the hardware is good enough and fast, the software lets it down. The OS does not have any good apps. The Playbook is good for one thing though, browse the internet and that's about it.

The HCL U1 looks good in paper. Have not seen it in action, but knowing HCL I think it's performance would not be that good. HCL is not that good in Android as far as I know.

If there was no data then you are lucky. Is it out of warranty? It seems going for a new one is the best bait.

well dropped my external hard disk
form about 40 cm

it's not working now

when i connect the computer recognizes the hard disk but doesn't reads it

a sound also comes "click click " for 5 minutes after which it stops and then nothing happens, lights blowing properly

when it dropped it was in the casing

can anyone tell what could have happened and how to repair it and is it worth repairing ??????if repairing cost is almost same as new hdd cost i would take a new one as there was no data in the hard disk

i think header ain't moving properly

Was it a SSD or magnetic drive? Well if its magnetic then forget it. Magnetic discs are delegate disks, there is very less chance that it will get repaired.

Puys, if you are a gmail user, you must be knowing one brilliant feature of gmail i.e. "last account activity" wherein you have the access to check the location , date and time , ip address and even the type of module (like internet browser , mobile , etc) used to access your e-mail.
If you are not aware of that, you can check that here

I want to ask , does yahoo mail have this type of service ? I have a yahoo mail as well but i am not aware if it has this service, googling did not help much. If any one of you puys have some info about the same, pls share.

Apologies, if it is an off-topic issue.

Regards.

I can't perform searching in my PC as it says "that there is no program associated to perform the requested action. Please install a program or , if one is already installed , create an association in the default programs control panel." Anybody who knows the exact solution can reply as its urgent?????

I am thinking of buying an ASUS K53V - SX520D laptop.
It has got mind blowing specs for just 39K. Just wanted to ask if ASUS can be trusted in terms of reliability? I tried google but not much use.

PS : I know there is a thread for laptops too but it isn't that active.

You may want to use an open source alternative instead - OpenOffice


OpenOffice.org 3 is the leading open-source office software suite for word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and more. It is available in many languages and works on all common computers. It stores all your data in an international open standard format and can also read and write files from other common office software packages. It can be downloaded and used completely free of charge for any purpose.

Download from here:
OpenOffice.org Downloads

I use LibreOffice that comes with Fedora and it is good. It is better to use LibreOffice as it is not copyright of any particular company. Moreover, the coders who worked on OpenOffice (which was copyright of Sun and later after acquisition moved to Oracle) have all moved to found The Document Foundation that works for the development of LibreOffice Productivity Suite.

Plz tell

I installed kaspersky in my bro laptop :banghead:

Plz tell a good free antivrus which can be downloaded

There isn't any free antivirus which could be said as good. If you really want to secure your system, then just spend 300-400 bucks and get a licensed Kaspersky Internet Security for a year and start tension free use of external drives, internet browsing etc.
