How to See if Your Hard Drive is Dying

How to See if Your Hard Drive is Dying
Hard drives use S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis, and Reporting Technology) to gauge their own reliability and determine if they’re failing. You can view your hard drive’s S.M.A.R.T. data and see if it has started to develop problems.

Unfortunately, Windows doesn’t have an easy-to-use built-in tool that shows your hard disk’s S.M.A.R.T. data. We will need a third-party tool to view this information, though there is a way to check your S.M.A.R.T. status from the command prompt.


Use CrystalDiskInfo

CrystalDiskInfo is an easy-to-use, open-source program that can quickly display the S.M.A.R.T. status reported by your hard drive in Windows. You can download it for free – however, be sure to uncheck the browser widget when installing it.



Once it is installed, all you have to do is launch the CrystalDiskInfo application to view the S.M.A.R.T. status information for your hard drives. If everything is working properly, you should see the status Good displayed.

CrystalDiskInfo also displays other information about your hard drive, including its current temperature and hardware specifications. If there is a problem, you can identify what exactly is wrong with the hard drive.


If you are particularly paranoid, you can enable the Function –> Resident (to keep CrystalDiskInfo running in your system tray) and Function –> Startup (to have CrystalDiskInfo automatically start with your computer) options to leave CrystalDiskInfo always running in the background. If your S.M.A.R.T. status changes, CrystalDiskInfo will pop up and alert you.

Checking S.M.A.R.T. Without Third-Party Tools

To do a quick S.M.A.R.T. check without installing any third-party software, you can use a few commands included with Windows. First, open a Command Prompt window. (Press the Windows key, type Command Prompt, and press Enter.)

In the Command Prompt window, type the following commands, pressing Enter after each:

Code:
wmic

diskdrive get status




If everything is working properly, you should see the status OK displayed. Other statuses can indicate problems or errors retrieving S.M.A.R.T. information.

Help, My Hard Drive Is Dying!

If you have used either of these tools – or another reputable program – and have seen an error, this does not mean your hard drive is going to fail immediately. However, if there’s a S.M.A.R.T. error, you should assume that your hard drive is in the process of failing. A complete failure could come in a few minutes, a few months, or – in some cases — even a few years. However long it takes, you should not trust the hard drive with your data in the meantime.

Ensure you have up-to-date backups of all your files stored on another media, such as an external hard drive or burned discs. You should always have up-to-date backups anyway, as hard drives can fail at any time.

With your files properly backed up, you should look into replacing your hard drive as soon as possible. A hard drive that fails a S.M.A.R.T. test should not be considered reliable. Even if your hard drive doesn’t die completely, it could corrupt portions of your data.

Of course, hardware isn’t perfect – hard drives can fail without any S.M.A.R.T. warnings. However, S.M.A.R.T. often gives you some advance warning when your hard drive is starting to fail.

How to fix Hidden extensions

Explorer's default settings in Windows 7 hide file extensions, as well as system files and folders.

To fix this, launch Explorer and click Tools > Folder Options > View.

Clear the "Hide extensions for known file types" to show file extensions, reducing the likelihood that you'll accidentally double-click on virus.txt.exe in future.

And as long as there are no novice users on your system who might go poking around in Explorer, I'd also choose to "Show hidden files and folders" as well as clear the "Hide protected operating system files" box. It's often important to see these files when you're troubleshooting, or following problem-solving instructions from someone else.

Hack Remote Computer Using IP Address

Hacking a remote
computer is always a hot topic among hackers and crackers, a newbie hacker or someone who wants to learn hacking always ask these questions that how to hack into a computer by just knowing the IP address of victim computer. Today in this article I am going to explain step by step procedure to hack computer using IP address. But this tutorial is possible only when your friend’s / victim computer is online. If it is off or not connected to internet then remote IP hacking is totally impossible.

Step 1: First you need to download Metasploit. The most up-to-date version is FREE at www.metasploit.com

Step 2: You need PostgrSQL for your database. Download here:  www.postgresql.org Make sure you use all the defaults or Metasploit woun't work!


Step 3: Now lets get down to business... After installing both tools, open up the 
PostgrSQL admin gui (start - all programs- PostgreSQL 9.0 -pgAdmin III). Then right- click on your server (in the left hand box) and click connect. Remember to keep this window open the whole time. You will also need the pass. you chose to use in step 5

Step 4: Time for somehacking! Go to start - allprograms - Metasploit Framework, and then open the Metasploit gui. Let it load untill it look like this : http://adf.ly/bBzoD


Step 5: Now, in the window type: db_connectpostgres:ThePassYouChose@localhost:5432 The first time you do this you will see lots of text flash buy. Don't worry, this is normal.


Step 6: Type db_host to make sure you are connected correctly.


Step 7: Now type this: db_nmap 000.000.000.000 Make sure you put the ip of the computer you are trying to hack in the place of 000.000.000.000...


Step 8: Now we get to the fun part; the automatic exploitation. Just type db_autopwn -t -p -e -s - b , watch the auto- exploitation start, go play Halo for a while, and then come back.


Step 9: After the exploitation is done, type sessions -l to see what the scanner found. If all went well, you should see a list of exploits.


Step 10: Now we get to use the exploits to hack the computer! If you will notice, all of the exploits are numbered, and they all have obvious names (i. e., reverseScreen_tcp). In order to use an exploit, type this: sessions -i ExploitNumber The features of Metasploit are much like a rat. Once you get into someone's computer, you can see their screen, control their mouse, see what they type, see them, etc.
