Install Window XP over Window 7 in Dual Boot

• First of all, you must have Window 7 pre-installed first in your harddisk (Let say C drive)
• Then, set your CD-ROM drive as first boot priority and boot Win XP CD to install it into another partition (Let say D drive)
• After finished installing Win XP, reboot the pc.
• It will directly boot into Win XP instead of Window 7 due to XP writes its bootloader over Window 7.
• Thus, we need to restore back Window 7 bootloader.
• Insert Window 7 CD/DVD and boot it then select "Repair" to restore back Window 7 bootloaded.
• After finished repairing, it will automatically reboot into Window 7
• Now, you are required to add a boot entry for your fresh install Window XP into Window 7 system.
• One of the way to add boot entry into Window 7 so you can dual boot your Window XP is through EasyBCD application. (You can download it from here http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1)
• I am referring to EasyBCD 2.0.2 here, once finished installling this application, launch it and select "Add New Entry".
• In "Operating System", click on Windows tab then select Type as "Window NT/2k/XP/2k3 and then click on "Add Entry" button.
• It is done now.
• The next time you reboot your PC, you will be prompted to choose which Window system to boot.
• Happy Learning ^_^

Redang Trip Part 1

My long awaited trip to Redang Island was finally realized.It all happened on 21 May 2011 at night together with 6 of my best Uni-mates. We took 830pm bus which was scheduled to reach our destination on the next morning about 630am. It was a double decker bus and it was driven quite fast as I know. We stopped 4 times in the middle of the journey and took our early breakfast as early as 4am~Ohh geeese..McBreakfast time but sadly that no McD in that area..><.. 

Once we reached Kuala Terengganu, we were welcomed by a van driver who drove us to Syahbandar jetty for ferry transfer.The ferry took about an hour plus to reach to the island. We were so fascinated by the seaview there and we took a few photos.Once we reached to the island, we were briefed by the instructor about our iterenary. After we checked in, we all prepared for our lunch and then we went to snorkelling. That was my first time snorkelling and I felt quite panic because I did not know how it feel.

I felt awkard when I wore on the mask as I was not used to it.It blocked my nose from being breathing.It must breathe through the mouth. At first, I forgot that so my mask was filled with water and I was choked..LOLX..scary eh..Even I swallowed quite a large amount of sea water but I still insisted to go on.But finally I gave up for the first day at Marine park..lolx

NTLDR file missing

Nothing much to worry about NTLDR missing file.Just copy back from the same version of OS window from the other harddisk (your backup harddisk or from your friend) to the windows drive. For example, if your OS window is stored in C:\ then copy NTLDR.ini file to C:\ and it will solve the problem.

Take note that, when you try to copy this file into your missing NTLDR file harddisk, make sure your harddisk is set as SECOND boot device or else it will boot from that harddisk and you will see the error NTLDR file is missing.

Nokia C5-03

The perceptual change of human mind has brought tremendous change to the lifestyle.From the creation of the first ever telephone by Alexander Graham Bell to make a call to wireless mobile phone, various kind of mobile phone design emerged until recently, the most popular trend of touchscreen mobile phone.

It was first introduced by Apple Inc of the iPhone which uses cutting-edge touchscreen technology.As the functionality and performance almost the same except using touch,this technology is getting popular nowadays.For the moment, mobilephone with touchscreen technology and good functionalities at least at four figure price.If compare with Samsung Galaxy S and iPhone, I would say iPhone touch technology is awesome.Its screen is very sensitive and just a light single touch will launch any applications or commands.

But of course,target audience for different mobile company is different.To have a low budget and good functionality and latest technology, Nokia does offered its very own mobile phone too. Nokia model C5-03 which was introduced around Q4 last year received quite a good response from user.

Below are some of the C5-03 features :
Quadband support
Tri-band 3G
3.2" 16M color LCD touchscreen
5MP focus camera
40MB internal storage (External storage up to 16Gb)
Symbian S60 OS
Wi-fi 802.11 b/g
GPS-receiver
Stereo FM radio
Stereo Bluetooth
Good audio quality

To have a Wi-fi branded phone, very less the price is offered below 1K here.But for this nokia model its retail price is about RM650.

To top it off, with high connectivity up to 10.2Mbps HSDPA and moderate processor in Nokia S60 device of 600Mhz, it is worth a buy.Of course we are talking about low budget phone with Wi-fi connectivity and moderate good processor and cannot compare with high end device.But if you can afford to have four figure phone, you can opt this out.^^

 

Chinese New Year 2011

Time is flying very fast.It has been more than 2 months since I blogging.I still remember last year that I was waiting for the Chinese New Year so badly so that I can enjoy my holiday and have a reunion dinner with my family.And now, Chinese New Year is a history.Today is the 7th day of Lunar calendar of Chinese New Year.There is 8 more days to go for Chinese New Year come to an end.Chinese New Year was fell on last Thursday so we cannot expect too much holidays unless we have annual leave or unpaid leave.Most of the people already left since last Saturday and Sunday because they need to work the next day.

On the first day of Chinese New Year, we go "bai nian" at relatives house until afternoon.After that, we went back home and waiting for our dinner "lou sang" at Kok Thai restaurant.The food there is quite nice especially the pork ribs meat and the prawns there.

The next day, I went to meet my secondary classmates at Oldtown kopitiam.It was really a happy moment to meet them back after we had separated for almost 7 years.Some of them was met about 3 years ago and some really about 8 years.We shared our stories together and took some photos.After that, I went to my relatives house again (mum's side) for "bai nian" in the afternoon.Well, I used to be very close with my "biao ge" last time.But after we left secondary school it was never be the same anymore.Some has gone to work and some pursue their studies outside our state.Felt weird when saw them.I meet them once a year only and maybe that is the reason we have nothing to talk plus we have nothing in common anymore.

On the 3rd day of Chinese New Year, I met with TF and HP during at night.TF and me didn't meet with HP for almost half a year since she moved to KL to further her studies.Well, we had our drinks at Station 1 in Ipoh.We spent about 3 hours there and gossiping some people's story..LOL.Since my friend TF was quite quiet, both of us really tired talking this and that while he was laughing whenever we shared some jokes.Wish that he could talk more so we wont feel that tired.=)..Before we ended our gathering we took some photos "sebagai kenang-kenangan.Berharap dapat bertemu lagi kelak"..

"Walaupun masa perayaan Tahun Baru Cina ini agak singkat tapi saya berasa puas hati kerana dapat bertemu dengan beberapa kawan yang lama tak jumpa.Berharap lain kali dapat berbual panjang dengan mereka pada tahun depan."
