Today on one my home desktop, I deleted the Linux partition under Windows Vista using ‘Disk Management’ where the Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty was installed as a dual boot option as I was running out of space. But when I tried to reboot the system, the system is no longer booting due to corrupted MBR.
So, I have to manually repair the boot loader using Vista setup DVD disk. In the recovery options, when I selected, “Startup repair – Automatically fix problems which are preventing windows from starting”, that did not help. So, I selected Command Prompt option and then ran “BootRec /FixMBR followed by BootRec /FixBoot” and that did rebuild the boot loader.
For some reason since few months; I never been successful in establishing a remote connection to Windows Vista Ultimate using ‘Remote Desktop’. Whenever I try to connect, it actually connets to Vista by logging in; but once I press any key afterwards; the connection closes with a error message “the remote session was disconnected due to another user has connected to the session”. And nobody else is connected to the system other than me as am sitting infront of that system.
But I never had this issue with Windows XP as I always used to take over the session either remotely or connected to the console on that system.
I downloaded and installed the new ‘Remote desktop client‘ on my XP; and still no luck with similar error.
After a while; I thought I will create a new dummy user in my Vista, so that I can use that user instead of the user who uses over the console. So, I created a new user and used that user to connect from remote desktop client; and this time it worked out well, even though I might be using a different user and profile; but it forced to connect by disconnecting the console user…something that works for time being. Need to see how to force the same user to connect as I did in case of XP
Marklon had a post on MSDN blog that has good tips on considerations to be taken care when one wants to write a performance driven applications. Very nice points from Mark and must read for any developer.
The more polished, graphics ready highly anticipated operating system, Microsoft Vista aka code name Longhorn BETA2 is expected in November. It won’t speed up introduction of this system but it at least means that we are one step closer to the Q4 2006 introduction.
For more info, read the rest from The Inquirer
Brian Madden has collected the new features of Terminal Server in Longhorn from various sources.
For the complete list of features, check the article Brian Madden article.
As we all know, Vista will let us add more memory in the form of USB-based flash drives using a SuperFetch technology. Wondering does any one had any luck or experience in using this. I am sure the folks from Microsoft who has access to early builds of Vista might have tried. We hope to see someone talking on this from MSDN blogs, atleast the Vista team.
As reported by the Inquirer, Vita will support full volume encryption to prevent disk access to files by other operating systems. That means if you have multi-boot OS, the OS other than Vista will not see any files from the hard disk which has Full Control permission.
Check the article for more information on why Vista needs to do this.
