Using GParted to Resize Your Windows Vista Partition

One of the more advanced options for resizing your Windows Vista partition is to use the GParted Live CD, a bootable linux CD that takes you straight into GParted, the great linux utility for managing partitions. The problem is that if you resize your boot/system partition, you will be completely unable to boot without repairing windows.

Partition Wizard

Partition Wizard is a tool used to create/delete/manipulate the partitions easily.I have mentioned about Gparted in my earlier post.I was searching for similar tool which can be used in windows,and when i searched cnet.com,i found a tool called Partition Wizard.I really got impressed with this tool.It is a very easy and a handy tool,which can be used to manipulate partitions within seconds.It takes a lot of time to create partitions using diskmanagement(ControlPanel->Administrative Tools->Computer Management->Disk Management)utility in windows.This tool is very easy to understand.Those who dont know much about partitions can also easily understand everything using this tool,everything thing is graphically displayed.



I recommend readers to use this tool and save a lot of time in manipulating partitions.

Save Energy-Go Green

SAVE ELECTRICITY, REDUCE BILLS
Energy,its very precious,dont waste it.We have the "power",save energy..I have collected some of the tips for reducing electricity usage.
Illumination
 When working on a laptop, you may not need much ambient lighting; you can use a USB lamp (5V DC) as opposed to a regular 40W or 60W bulb.
 For a night lamp, use a 0 watt bulb or an LED (light emitting diode) lamp.
 Walls in your house which get considerable natural light should be painted in lighter/pastel shades to reflect light. This way, artificial lighting won’t be needed during the day.
Desktop computers
 Wherever possible, use LCD (TFT) monitors instead of CRTs (cathode ray tubes). If you aren’t keen on gaming, avoid installing a graphics card, in particular, models with liquid cooling solutions.

This method puts GRUB back on the MBR (master boot record) of the hard drive instead of in the root partition.
