Unformat HardDrive

Ever accidental formatted the wrong drive.
You can spend hours trialling different NTFS or FAT recovery software only to be disappointed to find that it was a trial version and only a few files could be recovered without purchasing the full version.
You then have to spend hours sorting through all the mambo jumbo of files.
By now I expected to find a recovery program that just recovered the files as they were on the drive.
Well I tried quite a few trial versions and was just that, disappointed.

Usually if the partition is lost or damaged and not reformatted I use Find And Mount : http://findandmount.com/ this is the quickest way to recover the files.

The drive will recover the partition and all the files reappear as they were on the drive before the partition was damaged.

This is only a temporary fix, you then need to copy all the files over to another drive, then you can format the drive again

If the drive was formatted, you will need some recovery software.

Here is a couple I found that worked well.


1st try DMDE : http://softdm.com/ : this was very cheap and it just works.
I chose NFTS then clicked search, within seconds I had a list of my files as they were in folders
I ticked the folders I wanted to recover and that was it.: Magnificent and cheap piece of software.



Works but the files were all in a list and it was recovering every file before my eye but it wasn't in folders, and that's what I was trying to achieve.

Folder.Jpg Hidden

My Folder.jpg images are hidden or not highlighted, the culprit of wmp12 in my case.

I suspect that windows media player settings  are to blame.

Run windows media player, go to tools then options, then under player, library and privacy untick everything.

I will keep you informed as to whether media player still hides these files even though these settings are not selected.

To fix your current collection and return those folder.jpg back to normal and remove all hidden or system attributes from folder.jpg see below.

Go to Start, then in the search, key in cmd.exe.

Now type the destination of your music.

So the default location is c:\users\yourusername>

My music is in this directory e:/music.

So I typed e:

e:\> will display on the screen

now type cd music

e:\music> will display on the screen

Now type attrib -h -s folder.jpg /s

Should look something like this

e:\music>attrib -h -s folder.jpg /s

This may take some time depending on your collection so be patient

IBoxPlayer2.exe

Setup

Remove the micro SD card from the box and place into the device it only goes one way and be delicate with the card it can break in two
Attach the suction cups to the unit and mount in the desired position.
Plug in the micro usb lead into the back or the side of the unit.
The other end of the usb cable is a standard A type usb plug, plug this into the cigarette light adapter.
Turn on the ignition or start the car and wait a few seconds for the unit to power on and set itself up.
Once the red light starts to flash on the front your ready to go.
Take a trip around the block.
When you arrive back take out the micro SD card and place into the SD card adapter then take the SD card adapter and place into the Card Reader.
Get the software out place into your cd rom and copy the folder "IBoxPlayer_1.0.8.4" to a folder on the c:/drive preferably not the desktop.
Run IBoxPlayer2.exe
You will get a UAC (user account control) pop up click yes or you can right click on the file and run as administrator
Depending on your computers settings or configuration you may need to run this file as administrator each time.
If you run the file and get a script error (see below), it is because you are not on the Internet, press yes to continue.



The program will still work but you will not get any additional map information.
Click the folder open icon on the bottom right of the software
Under the disk open menu press the arrow down that is just under it, select the location of the SD card reader.
Double click on one of the the recorded events.
The unit will start to display front and rear view camera footage and if connected to the Internet the map satellite information as well
If for some reason you cannot click on a recorded event, then try this program on another pc.
You will find that this is caused by not having the right video card driver for you pc, it is most likely using a universal standard driver.
You will need to go to the video cards manufacturer and download the correct drivers.

Skype Recorder

Need to record a skype call, try Pamela for skype, it works great.

You can download trial version.

In the version I tried there was no record limit.

http://www.pamela.biz/en/download/

There are a few versions, I tried the Professional version

I recorded an audio call for 1 hour.

There are laws that against recording conversation without the consent of all parties.

Check the laws in your state.

I made a skype call to a land line number with credit I had to a conference call number with other friends, who were only using their telephones.

When you run Pamela Skype for the first time, it asks you if you allow Pamela to access Skype, press allow

At the top right hand side of the menu you should see a large red button hover over it, that is your record button.

Files are saved to : C:\Users\Your PCs name\Documents\Pamela\Callrecord

1 hour was 14 Meg. in mp3 format that was great.

I didn't try the video recording but this is worth the money want reasonably priced.

Vmcmote

Want to be able to see all your music albums on your iPhone and control what song is played next without having to go back to the system remote control.

Here it is it and it works.

You will need to port forward port 8460 in your modem.

If for some reason maybe after an update the unit stops working.

Reboot the pc which has windows 7 mediacentre running and the Vmcmote server software installed.

Run Mediacentre. Then say in my case, run Music Browser and play 1 song.

Now retry Vmcmote again from your iPhone, make sure your phone is connected via wifi not 3g.
