Hard Drive
Your hard drive, or also called hard disk, is a gigantic diskette in your computer. It is one disk big enough to store you Operating System, games and programs. Without it, your PC is just an empty shell.
Check Your BIOS
Better beware of older systems with large hard drives. If you have an older motherboard, your BIOS might not recognize hard drives larger than 2.1 GB. Hopefully, your BIOS is EPROM which means although read only (noticed the ROM?) it can be edited by authorized editors. Nearly all newer motherboards support that. All you need to do is to go online, go to your motherboard manufacturer's website and try to download a flash BIOS update. Install it and it should be done.
Are You FAT Enough?
If you have a large capacity hard drive with more than 2.1 GB, you might have a problem. Windows 95 itself will only recognize a partition with not more than 2.1 GB. You need FAT32. With FAT32, you can have one large capacity hard drive without partitioning. You will also save some space with FAT32. In short, larger hard drives require FAT32.
Consider Partitioning
Although you can have one big fat hard drive as one partition, you should consider partitioning as well, if you have a big hare drive. Partitioning is the method of dividing an area on a disk into smaller portions of lesser capacities that can be recognized by the operating system. Picture this: your hard drive is a cake. It is easier to eat a cake divided into pieces than to eat it whole.
Partitioning enables you to achieve greater efficiency and functionality from high-capacity disks (2.1GB or greater). You can create partitions by using FDISK on a system running in MS-DOS mode or by using a third-party disk utility. Remember that after partitioning, all data will be loss so be careful.
You can set aside a small partition for backup purposes. In case you should decided to format, just format the partition you use to store Windows. Your data in the backup partition is still there. But be careful! If you format a FAT32 partition with a FAT16 formatting utility, your partitions with data in it will all be loss! So never install DOS after formatting Windows. Because DOS utilizes FAT16, your FAT32 partition will all be gone.
Access Time or Seek Time?
If you want to buy a hard drive but are confused with the specifications of access time and seek time, remember that the key to the speed of a hard drive is the average access time. This is the time taken to access a single sector to the time when the drive's head reaches the sector. But beware, some ads quote seek time that is not the appropriate measurement. Access time is seek time plus latency (the time it takes for the chosen sector to come around to be positioned under the read/write head)
Speed, Not Space
A lot of people are confused between speed and space. If you have a Quantum Fireball with 1.2 GB and a Quantum Bigfoot with 3.5 GB surely you should put the Bigfoot as the master and Fireball as the slave right? Wrong! You should always consider speed as well as space. The Quantum Fireball has a faster access time. A faster hard drive means better performance. Make sure your operating system is store in the faster hard drive. You can use the Bigfoot to store your programs or games which makes not much difference to the speed. With speed hungry programs or games, store them in the faster drive too. You must know what to put where.
The status of the drives is determined by setting small jumpers that are usually located next to the IDE connector on the drive itself.
Check Your BIOS
Better beware of older systems with large hard drives. If you have an older motherboard, your BIOS might not recognize hard drives larger than 2.1 GB.

How to increase the list of recently opened documents history?
In windows XP, you can increase the list of recently used documents in start menu. By default windows XP display the shortcuts of last fifteen programs on recent documents list in start menu but you can increase this value with your required input value. However this tip is very useful for all new computer users because they can easily access their required documents from last visited documents history. This trick will work in nearly all of the windows versions like windows 2000, XP and 2003.
Follow the given steps for configuration to increase the list of recently opened documents:
To edit the computer registry, first you should log onto your computer with administrative rights.
Click Start button and type regedit in Run option then press Enter for next.
Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies
Now in left side panel, click right to create a new Key value with the name Explorer under "Policies" area. Now explore the full path like: Go to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer Now in right side panel, click right to create a new DWORD value with the name MaxRecentDocs and then set values with your required input value. In this case, we are trying to set input value to 30 and press Ok button. But next time, if you want to disable this functionality then simply change the value of data box to 15 or delete the MaxRecentDocs DWORD item.

Telecommunications Future
Telecommunications has become one of the most important infrastructures that are very essential to the socio-economic well-being of any nation. The globalization of world economy has further amplified the importance of telecommunications to the economy. The telecommunication sector is one of the fastest-growing. Telecommunications is at a crossroads, local telephone companies threatened by wireless communication. Voice over IP challenges established structures of pricing and taxation.
The future success of telecommunication services will be determined by a carrier’s ability to better understand the opposed needs of various types of consumer and business customers, providing substitute services modified to the needs of each market. Those networks that offer user-integrated applications and whose providers aggressively market their network services will thrive in the years ahead. Furthermore, it is not inevitably the technology linked with the network design that will guarantee its business success, but rather the application solutions and marketing strategies of the industry participants. The accomplishment or collapse of a carrier will be determined by the effective promotion of networks as incorporated business system solutions. The different types of network architectures used in communications networks, including existing networks and newer technology still being deployed. Insight examines the capabilities of each network, their investment costs, subscribers, future directions, and convergence migration, providing a thorough analysis of network architecture evolution.
In our assessment of which networks will dominate the future of telecom, we have excavated it from current developments. We believe the market forces accelerating the pace of change and investment in telecommunications will be inhibited by the industry’s ability to attract deep-seated ideas. The likely result of current market will be enlarging segmentation of the market, with diverse structure helping different segments of the user and business markets.
