This tool is handy, portable and lightweight around 1.5 MB only. But don't go on it's size, it does show a  proper design of every component and the space it is taking in total. It shows unused space, it shows unknown space taken by unknown factors. All in all it gives a systematic representation of your disk. It also show multipartition reports in multiple tabs and even can show detailed space representation of your DVD and usb. More on it its a freeware but donations are always welcomed. For further information and downloads you can visit their Official Site.

How to convert file format easily on a windows PC?

In past we explained about how to create a bootable USB with and without dos. So let's start with how to make a bootable DVD. For this purpose all you need is a lightweight software called ImgBurn. It is a very lightweight software and can be used to burn DVD, HD DVD, Blue ray, CD, etc. Furthermore you can visit their official site for downloads and more information. This software can also be used on Linux using Wine.
As you can see in below screenshots it have an interactive user interface for easy use. You can see options like write image to disk, create image from disk, etc.

• By using the Write image to disc option you can make a bootable DVD using an ISO file. It is way too simple to do that. As you click on that option you will be proceeded to next screen where you have to choose image file to burn which you can see in second screen. You have to brows for you desired ISO file and make sure it is of proper size so it can fit in disk. After you selected the iso file all you have to do is click on proceed button. The software automatically detects inserted DVD and starts the burning process. Now you have to wait until the process completed which will take not more than 5 minutes and there you got your bootable DVD.

•  The second option is of creating image file i.e. ISO from the disk. This option is used for ripping data from the disk. It can be anything like OS or media, etc. This option will create a copy of it in an ISO container.

How to install .deb files?

So here's the deal if you have multiple Linux distro installed and wanna install a rpm package in Debian or a deb package in Fedora. You can use this method to convert deb to rpm and vice versa. So let's get started.

• Open the terminal in your Debian or Ubuntu or any other Debian based OS and we need to install alien first. so type in the below command.

How to Install Ubuntu Trusty Tahr along with Windows OS (Dual Booting)

Hello Friends..!!!

           Today we are here to learn how to do a dual boot means two OS in same PC. We are going to learn how to dual boot Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr along with Windows OS. 

We recently Posted:

How to install ubuntu using wubi? 

How to Install Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr?  

& Why to use linux over windows or with windows?  

                         

Okay, there are some basic requirements. First of all we will need a PC. Then ISO file of Ubuntu Trusty Tahr, you can get it from here. After you got the ISO, you have to make a bootable DVD or USB. We have also explained How to create a bootable USB? and we recommend you to make a partition from Windows that can be used to install Ubuntu.

After we got the above things, we are all set to go. Now let's fire up the PC and tweak the boot loader to read from USB or DVD you just created. once we did this, the installer of Ubuntu will pop up.

1. As you can see in below screen snap the installer of Ubuntu is opened up. There are few basic requirements that should be completed and don't forget to check on Third party MP3 plugin. Now let's continue to next step.

2. Now as per below screenshot my Ubuntu installer not detecting the Windows 8 OS but it's there. You can choose the option

“Install Ubuntu along with Windows” to reduce the pain of partitioning, etc. But we not 100% sure about this method. So will be explaining in more detail how it works. Check on “Something else” and proceed to next step.

 

3. WARNING: Now as you can see in below screensnap, I have marked where exactly my windows is located. We don't have to touch those drives otherwise say bye-bye to Windows OS. 

 

4. Now we didn't touch the Windows drives, let's move to other normal drive. And let me remind you once again keep A data back up of the drive in which we gonna install Ubuntu. Now after this we need to delete that partition by clicking on '-' sign or if you have already made a partition from windows then follow the same to delete it.

   

5. Now we got the free space, we have to create a new partition from that free space by clicking the '+' icon. After that a new window will pop up. We have to leave around 2gb free space and create a partition from remaining space. Choose disk as primary partition. The file system must be EXT4, as maximum Linux distro supports this file system. And in the end there's the mount point, make sure to select only '/' from the options. Don't choose any other mount point.

                                     

 

6. Now we have created a partition for installing Ubuntu Trusty Tahr. If I remember properly then we have left around 2gb of free space in previous step. We gonna use that 2gb space to create a new partition. We gonna use the file system as Swap area, as the swap area will help in painless installation and keep away the troubles.

7. Here comes the most tricky step. Many user (even I in the beginning) mess up here. We have to choose the proper position for the boot loader i.e. Grub. Remember as for the beginners we shouldn't mess up here because it can brick your system. We have to select the whole HDD means the root of the HDD (/dev/sda) as the place for boot loader. It's the first option and by default selected. So don't mess with it.

                             After the above steps completed, the tricky and hard part is finished. You will proceed to select your location, preferred language, Set up username and password. After this the installer will automatically install Ubuntu Trusty Tahr in your PC. Now you are just a restart away from using the newly installed Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty Tahr.
Follow the processes properly as any mistake may cause major problems, so if you are confused or having problem then comment below.
Make sure you give us a like :) and comment below!

How to highly compress a file?

Previously we posted:

Previously we posted:

1. How to make a Bootable USB drive without DOS 
2.Linux Guide for beginners-Part 1  

I hope you liked it.

So today I am going to show you "How to highly compress a file?"
After searching from weeks,i finally got a tool to compress a file highly.
so by highly i meant to say more than Half of its original file size.
The one i tested,i got 93.7MB from a 245MB file isn't it really amazing?
And and...we have still a more surprising thing for you,it is that the result is for a VIDEO FILE,no Pals,i am not kidding at all.

SOFTWARE:FreeArc(0.666)

HOMEPAGE:http://www.freearc.org/

MORE DETAILS:Freeware,open-source.

PLATFORM USED FOR TESTING:WINDOWS(ALSO AVAILABLE FOR LINUX)

 

DETAILS-

So according to the hompage of FreeArc,it uses 11 compression algorithms and filters,which is higher(Even double compared to few,more or less) than most of available file compressing tools/achiever.

Even I felt that this software is not only fast in compressing but also high in performance.

we can call it one of the fastest and most efficient file achiever available!

It gave me much fine results,around 2-3 time lesser time period than few i have used.

It also provides "convert to SFX" which is self extracted archives and installers.

And so on many features they have.....check on their Homepage.

One thing i liked that they also pointed out their lacked features,what i really liked about them!

Accoding to them in the present FreeArc(0.666)

"Compared to RAR and 7-zip, FreeArc at this moment lacks the following: multi-volume archives, 64-bit version, storing of file attributes/extended timestamps/NTFS streams in the archive, bcj2, data segmentation. These are planned to be fixed in subsequent versions"
Source:Official Homepage

So Now Its Time For A Tutorial:

• Download these files from here. 

1.Windows installer(or Portable Windows package)

2.Add-on: FreeArc PowerPack (standard set of external compressors).                                 

•  Now install both of them,now you can either directly compress Files/Folders or Even by going to the main software and selecting files/folders.so i will just Compress directly!
• Here is the file i have compressed

(NOTE:THE RESULTS CAN BE DIFFERENT FOR DIFFERENT FILE FORMATS!,I HAVE USED A VIDEO FILE)

 

 CHECK OUT THE SIZE IS 245MB.

• Now right click on the desired file and go to FreeArc
  
  and now you can see three options,so both of top options are preset with default settings and will give normal results like I got 138MB after compression.So if you have good configuration in your system then follow the next,select "Add to archive".
• Now choose these settings in two screenshots below,for best results.
  
  
   (The Make EXE will convert it to SFX in .EXE than .ARC,by which you can extract the compressed file even in a system in which FreeArc is not installed.)
  
  
  
  
  
  (You can also set password in "Encryption" tab and can add any comment in "Comment" tab)
• Click on "OK" and compression will be started.
  

•  Here is the result
  

See the result its 93.7MB from 245MB in first screenshot.

So I hope you all liked this post so please share with your friends and share it.
