TechBytes 08: Make Bootable Flash Drive for OS Installation

By Md. Asifuzzaman
With the increasing use of computers in our day to day life, now it's becoming more like a save your job type of thing to be able to install and recover the operating system of your computer. I'll write about recovery process of operating systems installed in your computer in a later post. But for today, let's go ahead and learn to make a Bootable Windows OS Installation Media.

Before beginning we need to know a few things about the computer, whether it's a 64-bit computer system or a 32-bit computer system. If you have a working PC, simplest way to check that is to go to your system properties by right clicking 'This PC' and selecting 'Properties'. In the system type you'll see your desired information.
System Type
If you don't have a working PC then based remember how much ram does it have. If your system has 4GB or more capacity of ram then you should install a 64-bit OS.

Now if we say Windows Operating System we have to decide which version are we going to install? Windows 10 is the most used OS right now. Installation process is same for the other versions.

So now we have to grab a copy of the OS. For Windows 10 the best way to do so is using the Media Creation Tool. Alternatively, you can go to Windows ISO DB to download any version of Windows Operating System.

Once you have the .ISO file you need to download another small software, called rufus.
Run the software as administrator, you'll see the following window.
Rufus
Use the following parameter in the drop-down boxes.
Device: (Your CD/DVD/Flash Drive)
Boot selection: Press 'SELECT' and select the .ISO you just downloaded
Partition scheme: To determine this first press Windows+R then type 'diskpart' and press enter. Then in the command line type 'list disk', you'll see a screen like following. If you have a * under GPT for your drive them select 'GPT' in rufus otherwise select 'MBR'.
Partition Scheme
Now click on start and wait till it automatically finishes making a Bootable Windows Installation Media for you. Quite simple, isn't it?

See you in the next post of TechBytes series!

Due to the outbreak of COVID-19, a huge amount of alcohol based disinfectants are being manufactured and supplied in many countries. But as the virus spreads through close contact, we wanted to bring down the number of times a person has to touch things. So, we made Vapoclean. Vapoclean is giving the following advantages to it's users: 1. Spraying ample amount of disinfectant as an equally distributed mist. Which ensures disinfection in the shortest time before the solution evaporates. 2. Decreases the amount of wastage. 3. Lessens down the hassle of refilling or replacing the container frequently.

TechBytes 04: Hosting a simple HTTP File Server using HFS

By Md. Asifuzzaman
Server! Sounds quite complicated and sophisticated, right? But do we know that any system that's capable of hosting some files could be called a file server? No? Let's see it ourselves today. We are going to create a file server through which files can be transferred across all the devices in a certain local area network. (If the appropriate ports are forwarded correctly, it can also work across wide area networks) This will definitely save us time and effort to transfer huge volume of data across systems without using long cables or pendrives every now and then. Let's download a small software named HFS from here  and open it. When opened for the first time, Windows firewall can ask for permission. Check all the boxes and click on Allow access. Now you'll see the interface of HFS like this. So as you can see, there's an address bar. It says 192.168.0.102:8080 Now if you try to put this address in any browser you'll see that your...
