SlySoft Virtual CloneDrive

SlySoft Virtual CloneDrive: "Virtual CloneDrive works and behaves just like a physical CD/DVD drive, however it exists only virtually. Image files generated with CloneDVD or CloneCD can be mounted onto a virtual drive from your hard-disk or from a network drive and used in the same manner as inserting them into a normal CD/DVD drive.

Probably the best virtual drive software, Virtual CloneDrive allows you to enjoy the freedom of a virtual drive and is completely free."

Once you download and install and run this, you can associate it with your .iso files and if you have the SPCUG CD .iso for instance, you can run it and access it virutally by clicking on the .iso and using Virtual Clonedrive to access it. The limit on my installation is fifteen virtual drives! -tp.

It's an age-old question: When you're done using your laptop, or just taking a break from work, should you put it to sleep, let it hibernate, or turn it all the way off?

UPDATE - 12:15, Sat. I used this with my headphone set and web cam. First connection was with Roger in Louisiana. His mic was broken, but the video was good, and he was able to chat using the keyboard to communicate. We tested any delay with audio, and he reported that there was no delay. Nice tool. FREE, fast and easy to install. -tp

Today (11 Nov.), I had a conversation with Alexander. He is a computer student in RUSSIA! Amazing. It's random, so you never know who you will connect with.

How to make Windows XP your default operating system in dual boot with Ubuntu

How to make Windows XP your default operating system in dual boot with Ubuntu

Lots of people are trying out Ubuntu, one of the currently most popular distributions of Linux. Why not? After all, it's free. Many are installing it to dual boot with their Windows OS, which is a good idea since many Windows applications that you may rely on to do your work don't run in Linux. However, you may notice that its boot loader takes over and makes Ubuntu the default operating system, and that might not be what you want. To change that behavior, you need to edit the Grub boot loader menu. Here's how:

1. Boot into Ubuntu
2. Click Applications | Accessories | Terminal to open a command line window
3. At the command prompt, type sudo gedit /boot/grub/menu.lst
4. When prompted, type your password
5. In the file, find the following section:

## default num
# Set the default entry to the entry number NUM. Numbering starts from 0, and
# the entry number 0 is the default if the command is not used.
default 0

6. Change the 0 to the number of the Windows boot section, which should be 4 on a typical dual boot system where you installed Ubuntu after XP
7. Save the file with the changes

It's a good idea to back up the file before you edit it. See this page for instructions:
