Could anyone elaborate on the differences between BIOS and firmware please? Solution: As others already stated, BIOS is the specific name for the (motherboard) firmware in older PCs. New computers these days have a technically somewhat different kind of firmware which is called either EFI or UEFI. Please note that any computer will contain,…
Currently Firefox is set by Windows to open .html files. I’m hoping I can sort of override this in FileZilla so I can do quick edits and then upload them to the server. Solution: In FileZilla go to edit > settings… In the left column scroll down to “file editing”… Select it, then in the…
You need the Ultimate Boot CD if you want to:
Ultimate Boot CD is completely free for the download, or could be obtained for a small fee. If you had somehow paid a ridiculous amount of money for it, you have most likely been fleeced. The least you could do is to make as many copies of the offical UBCD and pass it to your friends, relatives, colleagues or even complete strangers to minimize the per unit cost of your loss!
When you boot up from the CD, a text-based menu will be displayed, and you will be able to select the tool you want to run. The selected tool actually boots off a virtual floppy disk created in memory.
Case:Customers said that this Sandisk SD card is used on Canon digital cameras.A while ago, I went to Hong Kong with a friend who had just returned to China. I took a lot of photos on the way. During the shooting, the digital camera prompted to identify the SD card, and I had to use…

I have a question. I have been experiencing delays when controlling my smart-home devices when everyone is home and using the internet. The internet is not slow, (300Mbps) but I think the one router doesn’t cope well with the 25 devices we have concurrently connected. My thought was to separate them in another Subnet, with…
I am unable to complete the firmware update; I get a message that the
firmware is intact or the system hangs during when entering StorCon
As the BIOS on server boards and RAID controllers are updated, it is possible that some
combinations of RAID controller BIOS and server board BIOS do not work together so that
updating RAID controller firmware through the normal update process is not possible. A
firmware recovery process is described here with an override that makes it possible to force the firmware update.
To force a firmware update, complete the following steps:
a. Move the recovery jumper on the RAID card to Recovery position.
b. Download the firmware recovery utility and update code from the website, or make a
firmware recovery diskette from the CD and boot to it.
c. Choose option 2, recover firmware.
d. The system creates a RAM drive and begins copying files to it. Press <Ctrl> <C> when
you see the prompt, “press CNTL C to interrupt the recovery process”. You will be
brought to a C: prompt.
e. Type “FRU -O” to force overwriting the firmware. (Note: “O” is the letter O for Overwrite,
not the number zero)
f. Indicate agreement at the following two prompts.
g. Green text will display at the top of the screen indicating that the recovery has started.
This will be followed shortly by text that provides the version (flashing) that is being
forced. The first few digits of this text are the firmware version number followed by
digits that refer to the build number.
h. When complete, replace the jumper into the normal position and reboot.

I’m looking at some new laptops, and I’m seeing the AMD Neo CPUs at 1.5GHz, and some of the new Intels at 1.3-1.8GHz. The laptops they are on come well supplied in terms of RAM (up to 8GB) and Video Cards (ATI’s with 2GB shared memory). My question is, how do these laptops perform running…
