If you’re like me, you are your family’s IT professional. Holidays and family get - togethers are a perfect time for me to catch up on my family’s technology woes, after pleasantries are exchanged, of course. Lucky for them, I always come prepared to tackle their PC problems.

  2. I’d like to offer my appreciation and congratulations to the author of Tech Tips. Each article is clear, concise and timely - something not found very often on the Internet. The weekly articles reflect the professionalism and customer service dedication of Geeks.com. Keep up the good work - your fans are deeply appreciative. Could I suggest that credit be given to the author by printing his name in each article?

  3. Has anyone written a good howto book on how to do useful things with these tools?  Something like ‘Linux-based Windows Recovery Tools for Dummies?  I think such a book would be very popular for aot of people.

  6. While the information provided is useful, more and more devices can boot from USB.  With that being said, this website had a tutorial on how to prepare a multiboot USB thumb drive with a host of various utilities and rescue CD/DVDs for any occasion.

  7. Great article, but you don’t tell us old nerds how to take the Knoppix download “image” and do any thing with it. Do we just copy the downloaded image to the flash drive? Do we have to install it somewhere first? Big download, but what to do with it?

    Thanks, Chris

  8. Nice article, we’ll take note!  Thanks!

  9. Great Tips, I recomend whne using the Malwarebyte to put PC in safemode first This prevents some files from starting on bootup.  Great software. Also recomend running your antivirus in safe mode, just press F8 key on boot.  I am going to try Knops.

  10. After a few hours I gave up with KNOPPIX.  It failed
    to recognize network devices on two of my Dell machines.  Spent another few hours trying to get
    it to manually connect to the internet, without success.  Sense this would not work well for booting
    any random machine and getting an internet connection.  Back to Ubuntu which has worked well for me.

  11. @ 1. In some cases, yes, but headers can be faked, or “spoofed.”

    @ 2. Thanks for reading, Doug. The author of each article is posted in the full article’s page.

    @ 3. There are some around, but I have never used any! Sorry I can’t recommend anything.

    @ 4. Thank you! Pass the permalink around on Twitter or Facebook if you can, but any word-of-mouth recommendation is great!

    @ 5. Good to hear!

    @ 6. Thanks for the tip!

    @ 7. Oh, I’m sorry Chris! You burn images to optical media like CD-Rs and DVD-Rs.

    @ 8. Thank you!

    @ 9. Thanks for the tip, Richard!

    @ 10. Sorry to hear that Peter, I rarely use Knoppix to connect to the Internet, and when I have, it’s worked fine for me. I guess your mileage may vary! Of course, if you’re going for a persistent installation, Ubuntu is definitely better tailored to your needs.

  12. nice article, thanks

  13. Great info- those are some of the tools that I carry.  If you don’t mind, ttblogger, I’d also like to mention UBCD4WIN, SIW, and WireShark. 

    As for the Ubuntu, I have been hit or miss with that (as far as detecting NICs), but the last version that I used was ‘karmic koala’; I haven’t tried the latest version. 

    Again- great tips and great tools.
