ALL IN ONE

So, what's "ALL IN ONE" about?

Well when I first decided to start this blog I thought of running it only for technical details about computers that would help people.

But later I realized that it was not enough. People know more about computers now a days.

So, I thought that I should not be dealing with the computers alone. And now I have decided to deal with every thing.

This blog will now concentrate on every thing technical.

HOW TO GET BACK DRIVE PARTITIONS THAT ARE HIDDEN WITHOUT YOUR KNOWLEDGE?

In this post I will tell you how to retrieve hidden drive partitions in your system.

Let us first know how the partitions get hidden.
This happens mostly when you install your operating system improperly. When this happens you can see that a whole drive which has a lot of memory will not be shown.

So, how to get them back.

You will think that you have to format your whole system again. But there is no need.

Your windows operating system will have a file named diskpart.exe.

This file can be used to do a lot of things with your drive partitions.

1. First you have to "open the command prompt" window in your system.
2.  Then type "diskpart" in your command window. A new window will open OR in the same window a message will appear as"Microsoft Windows [Version 6.1.7600]
   Copyright (c) 2009 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.
   
   C:\Users\username>diskpart"
3. Then type "list disk". 
4. If the drive that is hidden is in disk 0 then select the disk by typing "select disk 0".
5. Then type "list partition".
6. If the partition you are searching for is partition 0, then select that partition by typing "select partition 0".
7. Then type "active" to activate the partition.
8. Type "assign" to assign a drive letter to the partition.

 Now your hidden drive will appear in your my computer window.

Not only this but diskpart can be used to do a lot things with your disk drives.
I will tell you about them in my next posts.

How to retrive files hidden by the viruses?

If your computer had been attacked by a virus and you have removed it from your computer the first thing you have to do after that is to check whether any of your files is lost.

It would be better if you just format your disk after an attack. But if you have any important file to be retrieved and if it is not there after the attack, do not feel bad. It is not at all deleted, Really.
Even if you check disk space the result will be as such that it is still present in your computer.
It means that you can still retrieve it.

So, How to retrieve it?

Well, This happens mostly in the case of folders.


You might be familiar with the archive softwares like winrar, winzip, etc.,
These softwares have a special ability to show all the files hidden in your system, including the ones that were hidden system itself for its security or even if it is hidden by the viruses.
So you search for the files and just copy them to your back up device and then format your disk.

If you have saved it in a folder please do not copy them as folder, copy them as files.

Viruses create a file in those folders which shows that the folder is a system folder and the system will hide that folder. And while copying please do not copy that file if it appears there.

I am not sure about about the file name. But it could be any name that is with the extension of a configuration file.

After retrieving the file you can format your disk.

HOW TO ELIMNATE THE VIRUSES THAT HAS JUST ATTACKED OUR SYSTEM?

The hackers these days are having the upper hand when compared with our security systems. Even though our system has a strong antivirus it is still not safe when you are in the internet or while using the unknown devices. They are also using some viruses that cannot be identified by any antivirus until now.
These viruses or Trojans do not show themselves as harmful programs when they had entered a system. These things still act as  viruses even though they are not recognized.
So how to identify these viruses..............

Well there are still some ways. These kind of viruses mostly do not affect any files in your system. They will just try to send all your files to its creator through the web and create .vsb file. These files will also  will be hidden from you.
These kind of viruses are also similar to the regular viruses. They get into the start-up items and starts to run when our system starts. This way they do their work.
Step1:
To get rid of them from our system start-up items

• In any windows system there is an execution file called msconfig.exe. This file will have the start-up and all other details about details about your system.
• To run this file type "msconfig" in the run dialog box.
• Then select the start-up tab. Search for any unknown file that you might not be in your installed items list also(Note: Leave the Microsoft files).
• Disable that file from that list.

Now it is almost removed from the start-up items.

Step2:
To stop the running file:
This will already be running if it is in the start-up items. So you have to stop it from running. Now,

• Open the "Task manager"
• search for the same file to be running that is removed from the start-up items.
• Now end its process.

Thus its operation is stopped.
Step3:
Now to get rid of that virus from your system.
These kind of viruses will easily replicate themselves in all your drives and folders.
So "search" for these files and delete them.



Now restart your system.
If the virus still exists in your system scan your system again and repeat the steps again.

Get rid of these viruses "Especially from your start-up folder".
