Wouldn’t be easier if you could control your PC from your bed. You do not need Infrared Receivers/USB Gadgets and remotes for this purpose. Instead all you need is your iPhone or iPod Touch and a wifi connection to your PC.
What You Need:
- PC (The Software is available for Windows, Mac and Linux. This tutorial covers Windows)
- PC HippoVNC server software. (Linux users can use the included VNC server software)
- HippoRemote Lite app. (Available from the Apple App Store)
- A WiFi router.
Installing the HippoVNC Server
Download the free HippoVNC Server file. (Link Included at the bottom). Choose a folder to extract the file.
And run the WinVNC.exe file.
You may get a Security Warning. Click Allow Access. Continue Reading ->
You’ve loaded the Ubuntu Live CD to recover files from a failed system but where do you store the recovered files? We’ll show you how to store them on external hard drives, on the same PC, a Windows home network, and other places.
There are many ways to transfer files you can access from a Ubuntu Live CD to a location that a stable machine Windows can not access them.
We’ll go through several methods, from each section from the Ubuntu desktop.
Use a healthy hard disk
If your computer has more than one hard disk or your hard drive is healthy and you’re in Ubuntu for reasons of non-payment, then access your hard drive is easy as pie, even if the hard disk is formatted for Windows.
To access a disk drive, it must first be mounted. To mount a floppy drive healthy, you simply select it in the Places menu in the top left of the screen. You must identify your hard disk size.

Windows 7′s built-in virtualization tools let you do all kinds of useful things — from multi-booting using virtual hard disks (VHDs), to mounting those same VHDs as local disks, to running older software that doesn’t play well with OSes newer than XP. It would, however, be nice if certain tasks were a bit simpler.
Fortunately there are some great, free tools which can help.
Disk2vhd (pictured above)
Need an easy way to convert a physical machine to a virtual one? Fire up Disk2vhd and create a snapshot of any system running Windows XP or later — including server OSes and x64 builds. Partition structure is retained, and you can even save your VHD to the same drive you’re backing up. Continue Reading ->
Getting a virus is bad. Getting a virus that causes your computer to crash when you reboot is even worse. We’ll show you how to clean viruses from your computer even if you can’t boot into Windows by using a virus scanner in a Ubuntu Live CD.
There are a number of virus scanners available for Ubuntu, but we’ve found that avast! is the best choice, with great detection rates and usability.
Unfortunately, avast! does not have a proper 64-bit version, and forcing the install does not work properly. If you want to use avast! to scan for viruses, then ensure that you have a 32-bit Ubuntu Live CD.
If you currently have a 64-bit Ubuntu Live CD on a bootable flash drive, it does not take long to wipe your flash drive and go through our guide again and select normal (32-bit) Ubuntu 9.10 instead of the x64 edition. For the purposes of fixing your Windows installation, the 64-bit Live CD will not provide any benefits.
Once Ubuntu 9.10 boots up, open up Firefox by clicking on its icon in the top panel.

There’s any number of great antivirus tools that help protect your PC from viruses, but what about when you encounter an already-infected PC? Your best bet is a boot CD, and the free AVG Rescue CD cleans viruses easily.
The AVG Rescue CD comes in two flavors: an ISO image that can be easily burned to an optical disc, or a compressed version that can be installed to a bootable flash drive. Once you’ve done so, you can simply boot from the drive of choice directly to the AVG menu, where you can scan for viruses, edit files, test your drive, or even edit the registry. Since the bootable CD is based on a version of Linux, you can also access a number of common Linux tools to make changes to your system and hopefully make it bootable again.
The AVG Rescue CD is a free download for anybody, cleans viruses from Windows or even Linux PCs, and is a great addition to your PC repair toolkit. If you need some help setting up the bootable USB flash version, check out the Guiding Tech tutorial for the full walk-through.
