  • How to create a symbolic link for Window 7?

    I'm trying to put in place a Web of Appache server to experiment with WordPress development.  I installed a program called XAMPP installs the MYSQL server, the Appache server and PHP stuff necessary to create a working environment.  The author of the book suggested that I create a separate directory C:\WPDev to use for the development of WordPress.  I was able to make the necessary changes in the httpd.conf file for Apache server to recognize this place, but now I can't return to the PHPAdmin Panel I need to manipulate the MySQL database.

    So, what I thought I would do, is create a symbolic link to the original webroot folder in order to access these applications.  The command to do this, I read is:

    MKLINK [[/ D] |] [/H] | [/J]] The link target

    /D creates a directory symbolic link.  Default is a file
    symbolic link.
    /H creates a hard instead of a symbolic link link.
    /D creates a directory junction.
    Link specifies the new symbolic link name.
    Target Specifies the path (relative or absolute), which means the new link.

    My problem now is the following.  I am logged on as administrator, and yet I get this error message when I try to use the command:

    c:\WPDev>Mklink/d: xampp C:\xampp\htdocs
    You don't have sufficient privileges to perform this operation.

    Why have I not sufficient privileges to perform this operation as an administrator on this machine?  This makes not much sense to me.

    My guess is that it has to do with the permissions to this administrator user ID.  Looks like the WPDev directory inherits the permissions of the parent disk, but unlike Windows XP, I can't just take control of this directory and start to change the permissions.  When I look at the permissions summary, I think I should be able to do.   I think I have all the permissions, but there may be something on the command mklink that I'm missing.

    You need to elevate your privileges:

    1 log in under an administrator account.
    2. click on the start planet.
    3. type the three letters cmd in the search box.
    4. press on Ctrl + Shift + Enter
    5. click on "run as Administrator".
    6 type the mklink command.
    You can also use linkd.exe that doesn't require elevated privileges. It is provided with the Windows 2000 Technical Resource Kit.

    You can go for the use of win8 / win7 / vista to match highlights you want - and download the win8 installation and run the installation with your key to download you need to install windows from that.  Will allow you to have an iso bootable.

    Make a picture of the control panel system / Windows 7 file recovery / system Image.  I certainly wouldn't put it on dvd.  It will be too.   Find an old preference portable hard drive and buy a $ 20 usb box, get an external hard drive.

  • How to create a repair disk in Windows XP

    Hello

    How to create a Windows XP REPAIR disc?

    I have Windows XP version 5.1, Build 2600.

    Thank you very much

    You can make a CD of XP bootable following Recovery Console:

    If you have no XP bootable media (or aren't sure you have) create a bootable XP Recovery CD of Console and do not forget.

    This is not the same as recovery disks that may have come to a store to purchase the system.

    You can make a bootable Recovery Console CD by downloading an ISO file and burn it to a CD.

    The ISO bootable image file you need to download is called:

    xp_rec_con. ISO

    Download the ISO from here:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?ueyyzfymmig

    Use a new CD and this simple and free program to burn your ISO file and create your bootable CD:

    http://www.ImgBurn.com/

    Here are some instructions for ImgBurn:

    http://Forum.ImgBurn.com/index.php?showtopic=61

    It would be a good idea to test your bootable CD on a computer running.

    You may need to adjust the computer BIOS settings to use the CD-ROM drive as the first device to boot instead of the hard drive.  These adjustments are made before Windows tries to load.  If you miss it, you will need to restart the system again.

    When you start on the CD, follow the instructions:

    Press any key to boot from CD...

    Installing Windows... going to pronounce.

    Press 'R' to enter the Recovery Console.

    Select the installation that you want to access (usually 1: C:\WINDOWS)

    You may be asked to enter the password (usually empty).

    You should be in the folder C:\WINDOWS.  It's the same as the

    C:\Windows folder that you see in Solution Explorer.

    The Recovery Console allows base as file commands: copy, rename, replace, delete, chkdsk, fixboot, fixmbr, cd, etc.

    For a list of the commands in the Recovery Console, type help at the prompt of commands or read on here XP Recovery Console:
