Hidden partitions are used by some disreputable manufacturers in place of Recovery CDs, also used by disreputable manufacturers but more expensive. Reputable manufacturers distribute real OS CDs with the operating system you paid for intact and licensed. Hidden partitions usually contain a system image of the original setup so that it can be easily restored by the press of a key on bootup. You may be able to access it using a custom program, depending upon the protections assigned to it, and the user permissions of the account that you use to run the program - it wouldn't hurt to try.
The FORMAT command works on logical drives, not partitions, so FORMAT C: will destroy the C: drive, but not the D: drive contained in the same extended partition. Of course, that will rarely happen, as the C: drive is usually created in a Primary partition, which can only contain one logical drive, and the rest of the logical drives on the same hard drive are created in an Extended partition (which can hold 4 logical drives). My server is a bit weird, as it has C on Drive 0, D and E on a second physical drive (Drive 1), and boots from J (on Drive 0), but that's not the norm.
The usual procedure is to use FDISK to create a Primary partition on physical Drive 0, then allocate the rest of the drive to an Extended partition. Primary partitions are bootable, so a logical drive C is created on the Primary partition. Additional logical drives are created in the Extended partition. Each logical drive is then formatted using FORMAT, and the OS is installed on the logical drive in the Primary partition. Running FORMAT on one logical drive will not affect the other logical drives on the same physical drive, or within the same partition.

Hi Roger,
But what actually i would like to know is:
(1) How I can attain a situation in which system at boot time will ask for "press h to boot from hidden partition"
(2) How I can transfer the control to hidden partiton booting.
(3) Is it possible to program BIOS?...so that at boot time it will automatically transfers control to hidden partition address.

Hi,
I want to know how to get the status of RAM i.e
(1) how much size it is having?
(2) How many memory locations are available(free)?
(3) How many memory locations are in bad state?
(4) what is the status of DATA BUS(working or not)?
(5) what is the status of Address BUS(working or not)?
All these things i need to check prior to OS installations.
So is there any way to get it?
Help me please

The Power On Self Test (POST) in the BIOS tests all these functions, then loads the OS. If the PC gets through POST, the memory is good.

POST is meant as a simple check and doesn't test memory particularly thoroughly. Also, most systems now come configured for 'Quick POST' which is even less thorough.
For a deeper memory test, try Windows Memory Diagnostic[^] or memtest86[^].

but sir can u tell me the way by which i am able to use the post execution information.if yes explain me.

I think these information could be obtain from the CMOS configuration. It will display for your the amount of your memory. For windows operating system if you want to check the status of the memory try to use the command mem in the MS-DOS prompt.

Ya mike. It is possible to execute all sorts of programs even bfor OS loads but condition is, no OS dependencies like WIn API`s etc.
-Try to get the things you like, else you will be forced to like the things you get!

my response is that when you login to a server you are generally prompted with UserID and a Password.
the question is then:
Is it possible to scan several servers and change the login userID and password to anonymous? (Therefore anyone can have access to these servers)

Hai,
I dont know whether this is the right place for my question...anyway...
I want to write a batch file in dos that deletes files and subfolders in a particular folder that are greater than 1 hr old.
I could'nt figure out how to that time diff.
I appriciate ur help..thanks in advance.

I can't recall any method of doing time/date calculations from the command line in DOS; it may not have been supported. If the OS you're using is new enough, you should be able to use the Windows Scripting Host (WSH) service to create a text file of files and folders that meet the 1 hour old criterion, then use the pipeline character to input the list to the DEL command.

You should discover the script in the microsoft scripting center.[^] It contain a lot of script that could perform a lot of task.

OK - this is a bit longer than I expected, but it does the job and shows you the techniques to extend it. This code does assume that you are running WinNT 4 or later. I have only tested it on XP.
You can find lots of info about building batch files in Windows NT Shell Scripting, by Tim Hill. A chapter of this book is available on the Code Project web site.

Hi,
I have an email server: MS Exchange Server
How can I configure the email server checks for valid email address before sending
Thanks in advance
|
|
|
|
|
As far as I'm aware Exchange already checks for address validity. It's a tricky thing to check as although RFC2822[^] lists the valid characters, in practice some email systems do not conform to this specification and permit characters not permitted in RFC2822.
If a user specifies an address that is not a valid domain (right-hand side of @), Exchange (if configured for direct delivery) will be unable to resolve the MX records in DNS for that domain, and will abandon the message with a non-delivery report [NDR] (a type of delivery status notification [DSN]). If a user specifies an invalid local-part (left-hand side of @), the receiving server will abandon the message with its own NDR. If the return address is invalid or incorrect, Exchange will abandon sending the NDR. If it detects that it would be trying to send an NDR for an NDR in response to a message that it originated (detecting its own address in the Received headers), it will not send the NDR.
If you're configured to use a Smart Host, Exchange will pass outgoing messages directly onto the smart host rather than checking the domain part. If the domain part is invalid the smart host will generate an NDR.
By default Exchange attaches the whole of the original message to the NDR when it is generated. We have had a problem with our upstream ISP blocking access to their SMTP server (we use a Smart Host configuration) due to a large amount of viral content originating from our server. Investigation showed that this was incoming viral content that couldn't be delivered to a user on our server (invalid destination address), and therefore was attached to the NDRs.
I've now limited the maximum size of any DSN to strip off any attachments, which saves bandwidth. To do this, see XCON: Option to Strip Attachments for Messages That Generate an NDR[^]. You must spell the registry keys exactly as written - even if you think it's misspelled! This originally caught me out.
To check your Exchange setup for errors, download the Exchange Best Practices Analyzer Tool[^].
