If Windows Activation fails can I restore a previously created system image to the system?

http://ift.tt/1iZHv9S

I inherited some OEM machines with Windows 7 on them. I noticed recently that I am getting a pop up upon boot saying ‘Windows could not be activated’. When I go into the properties of the ‘computer’ icon, I see that under Windows Activation I have a count down period of about 28 days to activate. Just to save me losing all my data, I created a system image and saved it on a network drive.

Worse case scenario, if I do activate this OS and I get locked out, can I restore this system image to another Windows 7 barebones machine or even this particular one (if the key is invalid and I appropriate a valid one)?


Thanks.

For my school needs, should I go with a tablet or netbook?

http://ift.tt/1iZHv9S

I need some buying advice.

I’ve started my MBA, and am getting loads of material which I can either take in soft copy or get it printed.

Recently the volume has increased marginally, and printing isn’t an option anymore.

I currently own an ASUS machine, but it weighs 2.5-2.8kg and carrying it all day everywhere is very tiring. Moreover I must carry the charger because what was once a selling point is now a problem, the 2GB NVIDIA 630M card. Thanks to it, the battery backup is at max 2-2.5 hours.


So now I’ve decided to go for a new device. I’m confused between a tablet & a netbook.

My primary requirements are

1) Should be cheap, because I have little use for it.

2) Should have at least 5-6 hours battery backup.

3) Should be able to handle MS Office (ppt, docx & xls) & pdfs

4) Should be able to handle minimum 7-8 tabs in chrome without crashing.


Among the tabs I found Dell Venue 7 to be a good option, and among netbooks, since I’ve had a good experience with ASUS & also they provide great products at nominal rates, I’m looking for an ASUS again. Though I have no model in mind, I’ll look in the market.


So I just want an opinion in case someone has used or has had a good amount of hands-on on both the devices, whether for my purpose a tablet would be better or a netbook? And if possible, which one exactly.


TL;DR – Tablet or Netbook, according to the 4 requirements mentioned?

What’s an alternative to Dropbox that doesn’t automatically sync deleted files?

http://ift.tt/1iZHv9S

I want to start using syncing service to have all my student notes synced to my Windows 7 desktop PC, Windows 8 notebook and Android phone (4.2.2), but I have some concerns first.


I’m using right now Dropbox and I don’t like that if I erase a file in the Dropbox web interface the file gets deleted on all my devices or vice-versa automatically when they are connected to the Internet.


I would like to avoid that because I’m a bit “paranoid” thinking that someone may hack my account and erase everything in there and I won’t have a way to recover my files.


So my question would be what free syncing service would you recommend me that will not sync automatically and works under Windows and Android?


Thank you!

Is there an app for my Android phone which can improve the quality of voice recordings?

http://ift.tt/1iZHv9S

Hi,I am a university student and I want to make some audio notes during class. When I record something on my phone I have three issues with it:



  1. Background noises

  2. Voice quality

  3. We don’t have contracted phones in our country, so I have a Qmobile which is not renowned for its quality of mobile parts.


Is there any free app or software in which I can filter the voice of lecturer and remove all the clutter from background (like the ones used in movies to filter out the voice of actors and actresses) and yes I have tried many Android apps and I can’t take my laptop in university due to security reasons.

Is there any way I can recover the data from my hard drive without voiding the warranty?

http://ift.tt/1iZHv9S

My Western Digital External Hard Drive recently stopped working and started giving a clicking noise. Western Digital says that I need to send it to an authorized data recovery center for the warranty to not be void. However, I am in Sri Lanka and have no method of sending the drive.


It gets recognized by Windows Disk Manger (partially). The first time, it asked me to create a partition table, with MBP or GUID as the options (or something to that extent). Once I select OK, it gives me an error telling that an I/O error occurred. I could not get a screenshot. When I try to recreate the error, it doesn’t appear. Now it just shows that it is an Unknown and Uninitialized Drive My question is this: is there any way to recover the data by using something like a magnetic reader on top of the drive so that it doesn’t need to be opened, which would void the warranty?


According to an answer at How to recover data from dead hard disk (with tic tic noise)? , the problem might be related to “The actuator arm (or whatever controls it).


I appreciate any help ASAP on solving this problem.
