How to read Mac hard disk on Windows ?

If you have a hard disk with HFS or HFS+ partition on it, you can now read it on Windows for FREE. This makes it work just like any other hard disk partition, and shows up when you click on 'My Computer'.

These drivers are from Apple and included as part of Bootcamp. But they give you only read-only access.

Alternate link #2 - http://goo.gl/c5x0M

Instructions to use

  • - Uninstall any existing HFS Driver like Paragon software or Mac Drive and restart your computer.
  • - Now download the zip, extract and open readme.txt, it has the same instructions.
  • - As instructed, copy the two .sys files to C:\Windows\system32\drivers
  • - Merge the .Reg for installing the drivers.

Update and future plans!

Tuesday, March 05, 2013 2 comments

Hello readers,

I am delighted to inform you all that I have decided to revive this blog after its long dormant period. But it won't be a general tech blog any more. Instead it will be focused on Apple universe and mobile apps (iPhone, Android etc.) and mobile games in general. It made more sense as its the field I work in and I am constantly focused in the Apple-verse and mobile games in general now.

Soon there is going to be a stunning face lift for the blog after which there will be regular content updates. Thank you all for your continued support. I am sorry if some of you might be disappointed. Feel free to un-subscribe in case the new topics are not going to be of interest to you folks!

(Click on images to see the enlarged versions)



STEP 1

Click on one of the images


STEP 2

Check the name of photographer and the site from which the image was purchased
In this case its "Constantinos" and "Fotolia.com"



STEP 3

Perform a google search. Here I have done with keywords "constantinos fotolia" and the second link is exactly what I was looking for. Click it.


STEP 4

Locate the image you are looking for. Sometimes if you are lucky you can find on first page of search results, otherwise you will have to go to other pages by clicking "next" button at the bottom.


STEP 5

Click on the image after finding it, then on the image page, click on the "Information" tab on the right.


STEP 6

Now all the keywords for this image are displayed. To be sure that you don't miss out, click on "See all keywords" button.

Now my answer needs 7 letters. So I will go through all the seven letter words from the keyword list and see which one fits my available list of characters. Within few seconds I see that the word "degree" is what I need :)



STEP 8

Thank me by commenting, subscribing my blog or following TECH TOLA on Facebook :)

Part 1 - Twitter

There is a method which is more effective than creating a dummy profile and following someone on twitter. That my friend, is the power of "twitter search". Let us do an example.

Open your twitter homepage and type in "the name" of the person who you want to track in the search box. Here we take the example of Arun Basil Lal, good friend and amazing blogger who runs Million Clues Technology blog.


After which you press "Search" button and you are displayed with all the results. These results give not only the tweets made by him, but also people who have replied to him publicly and also his retweeted tweets. Now to make things easier in this process you can do 2 things.

How to middle click using Magic Mouse and Mac Book

Wednesday, March 10, 2010 1 comments

I got my Mac upgraded at work today and so started using the new Magic Mouse from Apple. First thing I noticed is that it lacks the middle click, which I use heavily with Firefox to open in new tab and close tab directly. I also thought about gaming :(

Anyways good news is that you can actually enable middle click on the Magic Mouse with a help of this cool utility. All you have to do is just use three of your fingers and tap/click the mouse.

The source code for this utility is also available.

Why Bill Gates decides to Sell off Microsoft? - Joke

I found this PJ floating over many places on the web and thought it would be fun to share with my readers :)

Letter from Banta Singh to Mr. Bill Gates
Subject: Problems with my new computer

Dear Mr. Bill Gates,

We have bought a computer for our home and we have found some problems, which I want to bring to your notice:

1. There is a button 'start' but there is no 'stop' button. We request you to check this.

2. One doubt is whether any “re-scooter” is available in system? I find only “re-cycle”, but I own a scooter at my home.

3. There is 'Find' button but it is not working properly. My wife lost the door key and we tried a lot trace the key with this 'find' button, but was unable to trace. Please rectify this problem.

4. My child learnt 'Microsoft word' now he wants to learn 'Microsoft sentence', so when you will provide that?

5. I bought computer, CPU, mouse and keyboard, but there is only one icon which shows 'My Computer': when you will provide the remaining items?

6. It is surprising that windows says 'MY Pictures' but there is not even a single photo of mine. So when will you keep my photo in that.

7. There is 'MICROSOFT OFFICE' what about 'MICROSOFT HOME' since I use the PC at home only.

8. You provided 'My Recent Documents'. When you will provide 'My Past Documents'?

9. You provide 'My Network Places'. For God sake please do not provide 'My Secret Places'. I do not want to let my wife know where I go after my office hours.

Regards,
Banta

Last one to Mr. Bill Gates:
Sir, how is it that your name is Gates but you are selling WINDOWS?
