    image courtesy of WD

    The below instructions assume you are using a windows based machine and use a great little utility called HDD-Raw-Copy-Tool this can be used to create an exact low-level, sector-by-sector device duplication you can clone SATA, IDE, SAS, SCSI, SSD drives, USB sticks, SD, MMC and CompactFlash cards to an img file or to another device..

    Clone your SAS Hard Disk

    • Download the utility from http://hddguru.com/software/HDD-Raw-Copy-Tool/.
      • We would recommend you get the standalone version as this means you don’t need to install the program and will run straight from the download.
    • Pop your SAS Hard Disk into your PC or laptop.
    • Start up the program.
    • Highlight your SAS Hard Disk and click continue.
    • Highlight the device you want to copy to, or select if you want to write to an image file.Clone
      • If you want to write to an image file to copy to a SAS Hard Disk at a later date –  Double click on the FILE option and choose the location and name for your image file.
    • Click Continue.
    • You will now get a display showing your previous choices, check them and then double check them – If you write to the wrong drive e.g. Your main hard disk your computer will be very poorly!!
    • Click start.
    • The program will now clone your SAS Hard Disk.SAS Hard Disk Clone

     

     

    That is it, you now have a clone or an img file of your SAS Hard Disk. If you created an image file this can now be used to make multiple clones.

    To go the opposite way e.g. Burn an image to SAS Hard Disk, choose an image file in tSAS Hard Disk Clonehe first window and then an SAS Hard Disk in the second.

    Well luckily it is very easy to fix, all you need to do is clear your web browsers on line cache, close your browser and re login to hotmail / outlook.

    To clear your web browsers cache varies from browser to browser so check you help files for specifics but generally – 

    • Goto Tools
    • Options
    • Privacy \ content or similar.
    • Clear recent history
    • Make sure cache is selected and then press ok or clear.

    How Can I Improve My Websites Search Engine Position?

    Bing have just released a very interesting article on their blog detailing the items that can help your search engines position and what can be detrimental. even though it is bing that has released this info it should also be applicable to Google and the other search engines as well.

    How Can I Improve My Websites Search Engines Position?

    How Can I Improve My Websites Search Engines Position?

    Items that can help improve your sites position;

    • Title tags
    • Meta Descriptions
    • Clean URL
    • Images and Alt descriptions (also called alt tags)
    • H1 tags
    • Rel=Canonical
    • Robots.txt
    • Sitemaps
    • Social sharing options
    • Unique content
    • Depth of content
    • Matching content type to visitor expectations (text, images, video, etc.)
    • Usability Page load times (to a certain point – faster is great, but not at the expense of usability andusefulness)
    • Crawlability (AKA discoverability, so can we actually get to all your content)
    • News – if you are actually a new site, submit for inclusion

    Items that you should avoid or that will have little effect;

    • Meta Keywords (fill them in if you like, keep it short and relevant, but not a big ranking factor)
    • Duplicate URLs
    • Overly long URLs (no set number, but you’ve all seen these)
    • Cloaking (comes down to your intent, but risky business for sure)
    • Link buying
    • Selling links
    • Link and like farms
    • Three way links
    • Content duplication content
    • Auto following in social media

    This is not a definitive list and not all items will apply to your site, also just having H1 tag on your page will not necessary improve your site unless the tag is used correctly.

    Check out the full article here.

    How Can I Send an EXE via Gmail?

    Google’s Gmail email system system prevents all executable file types and some system files from being sent via its servers as a virus protection measure. This is good but also very annoying if like us you often have to send these types of files to customers and other people with in the company. If you try to send an file type that Google does not like Gmail will give you an error message along the lines of “FILE is an executable file. For security reasons, Gmail does not allow you to send this type of file”.

    Luckily there is a couple of fairly easy ways to get round it.

     

    How Can I Send an EXE via Gmail?

    How Can I Send an EXE via Gmail?

    Methods.

    1. Use a free facility such as dropbox to upload your file and then email the direct link to the file so that your friend \ colleague \ customer can easily download it to their device. Another advantage to this is that you are not limited to the size of the file.
    2. Rename the file without an exe extension, Compress it with any compression utility and then attach it. Now it will get attached, and uploaded successfully.The receiver of the email should uncompress the attachment and rename it again with exe extension.
