T-mobile puts a “Gphone” emulator on its website, so you don’t need to wait until 22th of October or later. It doesn’t give you much functionalities, but it does give you some ideas how the mobile OS works.

下了 xp service pack 3, 但开不了机

09月 21st, 2008 by kenpeter
什么是 service pack 3:
Service pack 3 是 Microsoft 修复 Windows 问题的其中一个update. “翻版是可用 Service pack 3 的“. Windows 通常有多个updates. 大部分人都不理会地全部更新. 这样你就会把 windows genuine advantage notification (KB905474) — 翻版检测都下载了.
Update 的时候是可以挑直接update or 有选择性地update 的. 下载的时候是可挑的, 不要盲目去按.

有图看:

下了 service pack 3, 但开不了机:
办法: 立即用安全模式删掉windows xp service pack3, 删后重启电脑应打得开. 电脑会回到 xp service pack 2.

How to repiar GRUB from Ubuntu live CD

08月 31st, 2008 by kenpeter

Sometimes people installing new hardwares or update Linux system causes GRUB error. In case you don’t know what GRUB is, according to Wikipedia, it is a boot loader from GNU project. It is used to boot mulitple operation systems on your machine.

Now let’s go back to the GRUB error. One way to fix it is to use Ubuntu live CD.

  • Insert your lived cd into the CD/DVD drive.
  • Boot your machine by using the live CD. Please note that you don’t install the Ubuntu operation system. What you will do is load the live CD into the memory, so it won’t install anything into your hard drives eventually.
  • Find you command line console under the start menu.
  • Type “sudo grub” - Access the grub environment.
  • Type “find /boot/grub/stage1″ - It will return something like (hdx, y). “x” means the number of your hard drive. “y” means the number of your partition. e.g. (hd2, 4) means your GRUB is installed on partition 4 of hard drive 2.
  • Type “root (hd2, 4)” - Access the GRUB as root, I think.
  • Type “setup (hd2, 4)” - Setup the GRUB on partition 4 of hard drive 2.
  • Reboot your machine.

Unfortunately, I haven’t have a chance to try it myself. If there is any problem, please submit a comment to this post.
