Format.com Hidden Parameters
FORMAT drive: /AUTOTEST
Checks the existing format of your disk, and then proceeds with an unattended disk format. It does not prompt for a volume label, it does not prompt to format another disk, no delay, no user intervention, ends without pausing, and displays disk space statistics after completion.
FORMAT drive: /BACKUP
This parameter works exactly like /AUTOTEST, but it does prompt the user for a volume label, and it does display disk space information upon completion.
FORMAT drive: /SELECT
This parameter is similar to using the MIRROR command (MS-DOS 5.0 and earlier only).
FORMAT drive: /U
This parameter performs an unconditional format, which destroys every byte of data on a disk by overwriting it with hex F6h. You cannot unformat a disk formatted using the /U option.
FORMAT drive: /SELECT /U
This particular combination of format.com parameters makes a disk. Do not use these two format switches together on any drive!
FORMAT drive: /Z:n                                                                                                             Go to Top
Formats a FAT32 drive with a cluster size of n times 512 bytes. Meaning:
drive: = your hard drive letter (C:, D:, E:... etc).
n = number of sectors per cluster multiplied by 512 (cluster size in bytes).
Examples:
n = 1 creates a 512 bytes cluster;
n = 2 creates a 1024 bytes (1 KB) cluster;
n = ? creates a ? x 512 = ???? bytes (???? bytes : 1024 = ? KB) cluster.
You can modify the size of the allocation units (sectors) on a FAT32 drive to your heart's desire.
FDisk Hidden Parameters
FDISK /FPRMT
Enables the use of FAT32 file system on hard drives smaller than 512 MB. Normally not allowed by default.
FDISK x /PRIs /EXT:es /LOG:ls
x = drive number (1, 2, 3... etc.). Drive #1 corresponds to the 1st hard disk installed on your machine
(C, D, E... etc.).
/PRIs = creates a primary partition of size... (in megabytes).
/EXT:es = creates an extended partition of size... (in megabytes).
/LOG:ls = creates a logical drive in the extended partition of size... (in megabytes).
FDISK /MBR
Repairs a damaged boot sector by overwriting it with a fresh copy (writes a new Master Boot Record to the hard disk without altering the partition table information).

WinXP ki setupp.ini ko unlock karna                                                                                 Go to Top

WinXp ki setupp.ini is cheez ko control karti hai k aap ki CD kaisay amal karay. chahay woh OEM versoin ho ya RETAIL version.
Pehlay to aap apni setupp.ini file ko I386 folder main dhoondain aur phir usay kholain... woh aisay dikhni chahiyay

ExtraData=707A667567736F696F697911AE7E05
Pid=55034000

Pid Value woh value hai jiss main hamara interest hai. is waqt wahaan jo nazar aa raha hai woh aik kisam ki "default" value hai

Yahaan special numbers hain jo yeh batatay hain k yeh retail, oem ya volume license edition hai. Lehaza, pehlay hum is number ko 2 hisson main takseem kar laitay hain. Pehlay 5 hindsay CD kay amal karnay kay tareekay ko zahir kartay hain. Yeh batatay hain k aap ki CD kaisay amal karay gi... kya yeh retail CD hai jo aap ko "clean install" aur "upgrade" (jo aap chahain) karnay day gi.. ya yeh OEM CD hai jo k aap ko sirf clean install karnay day gi... aur aakhri 3 hindsay yeh batatay hain k yeh kiss kisam ki "CD key" accept karay gi. Aap in hindson ko "mix and match" ki bunyaad par change kar kay chala saktay hain. maslan, aap winXP ki CD ko jo sirf retail key accept karti hai OEM keys say bhi install kar saktay hain.
Ab, pehli yeh yaad rukhiyay k aap pehli aur aakhri values ko aapas main "interchange" kar saktay hain, laikin aam taor par inhain aisay hi rukha jaata hai:

Retail = 51882 335
Volume License = 51883 270
OEM = 82503 OEM                                                                                                                 Go to Top

Ab, agar aap yeh chatay hain k aap ki retail CD aisi ho jo sirf retail CD keys lay to aap ki setupp.ini file ki aakhri line main yeh hona chahiyay:

Pid=51882335

aur agar aap chahtay hain k aap ki retail CD OEM keys lay to aap aisay kar saktay hain:

Pid=51882OEM

Main "Administrator" username ko "Welcome Screen" par kaisay laon?

Agar aap "Administrator" username ko bhi doosray usernames kay saath welcome screen par dikhana chahtay hain to pehlay to yeh check kar lijiyay k koi account logged in to nahin... aur agar koi hai to usay log out kar dijiyay... phir "ctrl-alt-del" ko do baar dabaiyay... ab aap "administrator" kay taor par login ho saktay hain.

Good TIP: Agar installation kay daoraan aap say username ka password nahin poocha gya... to Administrator ka koi password nahin ho ga ... bayshak doosray login names kay password hon... is liyay agar aap apnay username ka password bhool ja'ain to sub say pehlay do baar "ctrl-alt-del" daba kar aur "Administrator" likh kar (password kay baghair) login karnay ki koshish karain.

Aik aur TIP: Agar Administrator ka password nahin dia gya (jo k meray tajrubay kay mutabik 40-60% computers par nahin hota) to aap ko "Administrator" likhnay ki bhi zaroorat nahin hai ... username aur password ka khana khali chor kar simple "enter" press kar dain... aur.... hehehehehehe... "YOU ARE A HACKER" .... lolzzz
