How to Change the Drive Letters

Few days ago my PC got some problems. And I need to reinstall my Windows 8. After installing a fresh Windows, I got surprised! Drive D was missing from my drive list!

What happened actually? D drive was automatically named as E. And all the drives names were replaced by the next letter. Such as E with F, F with G and G with H. Though I dont the actual reason maybe it is caused by the new Windows, but I can show you how to get rid of this change.

If you face the same problem, or just want to change the name of your drives, you can follow my instruction.

Right click on My Computer icon from desktop and select Manage.
Now hit on the Disk Management from the left panel.
Here you will get the list of your drives.
Then right click on any drive that you wanna change, and hit on Change Drive Letter and Paths.
Now Click on the Change and Select another letter for this drive from drop down list.
Finally hit on the OK button for twice. Open your Explorer to see the change.

How to Put WordPress Site Offline

WordPress Visibility option allows you to control who can visit your site, whether search engines will index it or not etc. In my last post, I discussed how to put blogger site offline. And in this post Im gonna talk about WordPress.

In my previous post, I discussed the reasons behind putting a site offline. Here I would like to repeat those reasons -

If your site is new, you can discourage search engines to index your site. Because a new site with insufficient content will not get a good rank.

If your site is private or subject to premium membership, you can disallow general people to view your contents.

Due to political violations or religious issues, if your social security is under threat, you can temporarily make your site unavailable instead of deleting it.

Site Visibility Options

Login to your WordPress site and go to Admin Panel. (ie. https://munnamark.wordpress.com/wp-admin)
Go to Settings from the left pane and choose Reading. (As shown in the above image) (ie.https://munnamark.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-reading.php)
Now you will get the Reading Settings page.
Move to the Site Visibility section. There you will get three choices.
The first choice is the default option. It allows search engines to index your site.
The second choice forbid search engines to index your site.
And the third option makes your site private. That means only invited persons will be able to access your site.
Choose any of the three options that is suitable for you.

Note: You can change the settings at any time.

Adding Users in a Private Site

If you make your site private, then you have to manually invite members to your site. Only invited members is capable of viewing your contents or writing posts in your site. To invite users, follow the steps below:

Go to your WordPress control Panel
Choose Users > Invite New (As shown in the above image) (ie. yoursite/wp-admin/users.php?page=wpcom-invite-users)
Now you will get the invite users form. Type username or their emails. Choose one of the five roles (Contributor/ Author/ Editor/ Administrator/ Follower) for the invited members.
Type an invitation message if necessary
Finally hit on the Send Invitation button.

Then the invited user will get an email. If he accepts the invitation, you can view the member in the past invitation section. From there you can manage your members.

Hope youve clearly understand the topic. If you have any confusion, dont hesitate to leave a comment. :)

HOW TO DRAW A PIE CHART IN MS WORD PART 1

MICROSOFT WORD DRAWING PROJECT No. 18 PART 1

TITLE: HOW TO DRAW A PIE CHART IN MS WORD

TYPE: MATHEMATICS DIAGRAM

A pie chart is also known as a circular graph. The circle is divided from the centre into several parts or sectors and each sector represents a proportion of the whole volume, amount or size of the data. The pie chart can be used in other subjects other than Mathematics. Drawing a pie chart which has no colours is not a difficult task. Actually, the real challenge is when you want to draw a coloured pie chart where each sector is filled with a different colour. Anyway, there is a way to do it in MS Word as you can see in the illustration above. Can anyone tell me how it is done? I believe that nothing beats the satisfaction of being able to create something on your own and knowing how to do it. Personally, I like to create my own clip art images with MS Word to be used in PowerPoint slides.

Oregon Using the iPad to Assist Disabled Voters

Oregon is testing the iPad to assist disabled voters and allow them to vote privately. Some Oregon voters that are unable to vote using paper ballets will be able to vote using the iPad in tomorrows election as part of a pilot program. Voters with visual impairments, physical disabilities, dyslexia and other disabilities that make voting with paper ballets difficult will be able to vote using a custom iPad app. The app will have the ability to enlarge font size, improve contrast and read text aloud to assist disabled voters. The app also works with VoiceOver for improved accessibility. Blind voters will be able to connect their Braille displays to the iPad via Bluetooth in order to read the ballets. Users that use Bluetooth accessories will be able to connect them to the iPad in order to vote. The app will allow disabled voters to make their selections privately without election officials knowing which candidates the voter selected. Election officials made the following comments about voter privacy.

"Some people want to vote independently, and theyre the ones that were talking to."

Laws require people with disabilities to have equal access and privacy while voting.

HOW TO CREATE GRAPHIC DESIGN IN MS WORD

MICROSOFT WORD DRAWING PROJECT No. 37

TITLE: HOW TO CREATE A DESIGN FOR AN APRON IN MS WORD

TYPE: GRAPHIC DESIGN

What do apple and health have in common? They are used in a popular proverb “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”. You have drawn the apron and the apple, then what’s next? Add in the suitable text using WordArt and you have yourself a design. I prefer to use Arial Black typeface because the letters are easy to read. I teach students how to draw Block Letters during Art lessons. The graph paper is useful in teaching students to draw block letters. Two pieces of graph paper are sufficient to draw the letters A to Z. The following Elements of Art were used to create this drawing: Line, Colour, Shape, Form and Space. In addition, the following Principles of Design were also used: Balance, Harmony, and Unity. A good design should be relevant to the theme. Therefore choosing the right illustration and text is important in creating a good design.

Now, let’s put the design on a t-shirt and see how it looks? What do you think?

Typing on the iPads touch screen can be difficult and slow compared to a physical keyboard. While typing on the iPad you must look at the screen because you can not feel the keys. For people that can not see the screen typing on the iPad is slow. There are a couple of tools to solve this problem. The first solution is the iPad keyboard dock. The keyboard dock plugs into the iPads dock connector and works with the iPad and iPad 2. The keyboard is similar to desktop and laptop key boards but has function keys specialized for the iPad. The keyboard dock costs $69 from Apple. Another option is a Bluetooth keyboard which connects to the iPad wirelessly. There are many Bluetooth keyboards on the market. Bluetooth keyboards can improve your typing experience on the iPad. Yet another solution is Keyguard which is a clear piece of plastic with holes cut where the virtual keys are. Keyguard fits on the iPad so it does not slide off. Keyguard allows you to feel the location of the virtual keys. Keyguard comes it portrait and landscape views. Each orientation of Keyguard costs $19.95 from Lasered Pics. With these tools you will be able to type faster and more accurately on the iPad.

How to repair or rebuild your desktop PC

Although many people consider full-size desktop PCs too old fashioned, they have one great advantage over other PCs, including laptops, netbooks, tablets, and most all-in-one desktops: You can easily repair a desktop PC, or rebuild it if necessary. If you are careful and patient, this can save you a lot of money. You are not limited to replacing only pluggable components, such as hard drives and memory modules. If necessary, you can rebuild your PC by replacing its motherboard (mainboard).

Repairing your desktop PC - After your desktop PC fails, you need to determine which component to replace. When you try to boot your system, does it display a message? For example, if it displays "DISK BOOT FAILURE," you can almost certainly correct the problem by replacing the hard drive. However, if your system displays no message and all its indicators are dark, you might need to replace its power supply. If replacing the power supply does not repair your PC, you can try rebuilding it by replacing its motherboard (mainboard).

Rebuilding your desktop PC - To replace the motherboard of a desktop PC, you need remove most of its components, remove its defective motherboard, install a new motherboard, and then reinstall the other components, thereby rebuilding it. To rebuild your PC, do the following:

Disonnect all power supply cables and move them out of your way.
Remove all pluggable components from the old motherboard, such as its processor and its memory modules. Note: Avoid static-electric damage to these components. Before removing each component, be sure to first touch any bare-metal surface in the PC case. Store the components carefully (in antistatic bags if possible) because you will reinstall them later.
Order a replacement motherboard. If you cannot find an exact match (such as identical model number) order the same type (such as micro ATX). Examine its specifications to verify it supports your existing components, including the processor (such as AMD Athlon) and RAM memory (such as DDR2).
After your new motherboard arrives, and before you install it, verify that its front-panel sockets match the front-panel plugs in your old PC case. If not, you need also order a new PC case.
Rebuild (reassemble) your PC.
Install an operating system. If you install Microsoft Windows, you need to also install motherboard drivers.
Test your PC to verify that it runs correctly.

Convert Drives into NTFS without Formatting

Often you may need to convert your hard drives from FAT/ FAT32 to NTFS. If you have to convert all drives of your PC, then it will be really difficult for you to back up your files. Because, in order to convert drives, you have to format it. And in that case you may need to set up the whole computer. But there is an easy option for you to do this job. And you dont need to format your drive. Even you dont need to back up your files!

Okay lets start -

Open Notepad

Copy and paste the following code in the Notepad

convert c: /FS:NTFS
convert d: /FS:NTFS
convert e: /FS:NTFS
convert f: /FS:NTFS
convert g: /FS:NTFS
convert i: /FS:NTFS
convert k: /FS:NTFS
msg %username% NTFS Converter: Presented by www.markspcsolution.com!

3. Save the file as NTFS.bat

Look at the drive list. Ive used C, D, E, F, G, I, K. If your drive letters are different just make change in the drive letter. And if you need to omit something, just delete it.

Suppose, if you need to convert only C Drive then you dont need to write the following lines in notepad.

title Marks PC Solution!
convert c: /FS:NTFS
msg %username% NTFS Converter: Presented by www.markspcsolution.com!

If your desired drive letter is L, then type convert l: /FS:NTFS. By this way you can convert any other drive into NFTS.

Note: If you wanna convert from NTFS to FAT32 then you need to format it. So before converting to NTFS, make sure you really wanna do this. Otherwise you need to format the drive to back to the FAT file system.
