Migrate to Windows from XP dual-boot configuration

In last week’s edition of the Windows Vista and Windows 7 Report, “Create a Windows XP and 7 Dual-Boot System Staged for an Easy Migration,” I showed you how to resize your existing Windows XP partition and then install Windows 7 in a dual-boot configuration on the same hard disk. As you’ll remember, the goal was to make the task of migrating your settings, documents, and applications from XP to Win 7 a much more relaxed experience since you can boot into Windows XP to check out how something is set up and then boot into Windows 7 to re-create the same configuration.

Once you complete your migration and are comfortable working in Windows 7, you’ll want to remove the dual-boot configuration, remove Windows XP, and just boot Windows 7 as your primary OS. In this edition of the Windows Vista and Windows 7 Report, I’ll show you how to safely undo Windows XP and 7 dual-boot system so that you can complete your migration from Windows XP to Windows 7.

However, you’re not quite ready to give up XP just yet. Maybe you have some applications that failed the Upgrade Advisor’s compatibility check or maybe you got burned during the Vista debacle. No matter what the reason, you want to give the new operating system a chance but you just don’t want to put all your eggs in the Windows 7 basket.

File splitter joiner for Windows, Mac OS and Linux

Large files should be always splitted before they are transmitted over internet. The continuity of the internet connection cannot be always guaranteed .If some error happens in between an upload or download, the whole process has to be restarted again. File sharing sites like Rapidshare, MegaUpload also implies a limit on the size of the files are uploaded. In internet mostly we usually we use RAR or ZIP to split files and join them later at user end. Applications like Ashampoo Winoptimizer and TuneUp utilities that we discussed also offer file splitter modules of their own. The difficulty is that all these applications are sharewares. HJsplit on the other side is a freeware multi-platform file splitter and joiner.
