One and basic of  hardisk error is a disk error or not formatted such OS say.  Some and always a victim of this problem is our USB drives or any portable drives that can connect through usb or firewire.  

The easy fix on this problem is simple just format it, but not easy if you have a valuable data stored on the disk. That’s why handle this is caution to anyone owner of the disk.

Maximize your Laptop Battery

Battery of our laptop/Tablet Pc is a source of power beside the power outlet. Full or perfect charged battery is always our companion when we are out of town. Or attending meetings, seminars we always check our bullets before we go to war. Or charge our battery to full capacity as it can.

 

Lithium-Ion batteries have a finite life. they slowly degrade from the day they are first made. The life of the battery will depend upon how you charge and discharge the battery and the temperature at which the battery is kept.

The truth about Li-ion batteries is that high temperatures are their worst enemy. Therefore, the following tips will help prevent laptop batteries from getting too warm.

• Always use a laptop on a hard surface. Don’t put it on your lap (despite its name) or on thermal insulating materials such as cushions. If you like to work in bed with your laptop, I recommend using a laptop table.
• Try to avoid charging the battery while you are working with the laptop. Charging the batteries increases your laptop’s temperature. The problem is that the CPU, the graphics card and the hard disk also heat up your laptop, which adds to the temperature increase experienced when charging the battery. Many vendors deliver their laptops with software that allows you to disable charging. You also can remove the battery while you are working on AC current.
• Make sure the laptop’s ventilation can always work properly. Don’t place objects before the ventilation systems opening. Don’t run or charge the laptop while it is in its case.
• Don’t leave the laptop in the car or under the sun in summer. Use a bike. It keeps your laptop battery cool and your own battery healthy. And too much sun exposure causes only skin cancer anyway.
• Do Not - Charge your Notebook/Tablet PC inside a carry case - the battery may overheat.
• Condition a new battery by using it until it is fully discharged,  and then re-charge it fully.  Doing this once a month will help to accurately calibrate your battery.
• When you receive a new NoteBook or Tablet PC, leave the battery to fully charge overnight.

Note:

A manufacturer will rate a Notebook battery to the point where it holds 50% of its original capacity. At this point you should consider replacing the battery.

Boot: Couldn't find NTLDR Please insert another disk

That was a nice smoothed day after I got dinner, I open my PC and checked some emails after that I turn it off and go to bed. I woke up late night due some calls  to read urgent emails. I stood up in bed and open my PC.

Just shocked my head in what I seen in my monitor. NTLRD error. Tsk .tsk , wondering why life are so many things that always come in unexpected way.

Ok that’s man made no doubt about it. Let’s talk this and try to find easy remedy. 

   In my 7 years experienced dealing on this. Hardisk that’s 5 years old below are prong on this.

Causes of NTLDR Errors

The most common reason for this error is when your PC is trying to boot from a hard drive or flash drive that is not properly configured to be booted from; in other words, it's trying to boot from anon-bootable source. This also would apply to media on an optical drive or floppy drive that you're trying to boot from.

Other possible causes include corrupt and misconfigured files, hard drive and operating system upgrade issues, corrupt hard drive sectors, an outdated BIOS, and damaged or loose IDE cables.

Fixes for NTLDR Errors

1.      Restart the PC. The NTLDR error could be a fluke.

2.      Check your floppy and optical (CD/DVD/BD) drives for media and disconnect any external drives. Often times, the "NTLDR is Missing" error will appear if your PC is trying to boot to a non-bootable floppy disk, CD/DVD/BD, or external hard drive or flash drive.

Note: If you find that this is the cause of your problem and it's happening a lot, you might want to consider changing the boot order in BIOS so the hard drive with Windows installed is listed first.

3.      Check the hard drive and other drive settings in BIOS and ensure they are correct. The BIOS configuration tells the computer how to use a drive so incorrect settings can cause problems, including NTLDR errors.

Note: There is usually an Auto setting for hard drive and optical drive configurations in BIOS which is usually a safe bet if you're not sure what to do.

4.      Restore the NTLDR and ntdetect.com files from the Windows XP CD. Restoring these two important system files from the original Windows XP CD may do the trick.

5.      Repair or replace the boot.ini file. This will prevent the NTLDR error if the cause of the problem is a boot.ini file that is not configured properly for your Windows XP installation.

6.      Write a new partition boot sector to the Windows XP system partition. If the partition boot sector has become corrupt or isn't properly configured, you may receive the "NTLDR is Missing" error.

7.      Repair the Windows XP master boot record. NTLDR error messages may also appear if the master boot record is corrupt.

8.      Reseat all internal data and power cables. NTLDR error messages could be caused by loose or malfunctioning IDE cables.

Try replacing the IDE cable cable if you suspect it might be faulty.

9.      Update your motherboard's BIOS. Occasionally, an outdated BIOS version can cause the "NTLDR is Missing" error.

10.  Perform a repair installation of Windows XP. This type of installation should replace any missing or corrupt files. Continue troubleshooting if this does not resolve the issue.

11.  Perform a clean installation of Windows XP. This type of installation will completely remove Windows XP from your PC and install it again from scratch. While this will almost certainly resolve any NTLDR errors, it is a time consuming process due to the fact that all of your data must be backed up and then later restored.

If you can't gain access to your files to back them up, understand that you will lose them all if you continue with a clean installation of Windows XP.

12.  Replace the hard drive and then perform a new installation of Windows XP. If all else has failed, including the clean installation from the last step, you're most likely facing a hardware issue with your hard drive.
