File is too large for destination file system” error OR "file too large to transfer" ERRORS

HAVE U GOT AN ERROR LIKE THIS IN WINDOWS 7

"File is too large for destination file system"

THIS TYPE OF ERROR NEVER COMES IF YOU ARE USING A NTFS FILE SYSTEM.

WHEN I GOT THIS ERROR MY HARDISK WAS ONLY 120 GB FULL AND THERE WAS ABOUT MORE THAN 700GB FREE SPACE, I WAS WONDERING WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT  "File is too large for destination file system"

I GOT THE ERROR BECAUSE MY HARDISK FORMAT WAS FAT32  WHEN I GOOGLED THAT WHAT I FOUND THAT

The max file size for FAT32 is 4GB. The max file size for FAT16 is only 2GB!

So how do you fix this problem? Well there are two ways you can go about it. You can either split the file into smaller pieces and then copy it to your external hard drive or you can convert the file system to NTFS, where there is no limit on file sizes. 

EVEN THERE ARE SOME SOFTWARES AVAILABLE IN THE MARKET THAT CAN HELP YOU FOR THAT..

Methods for backing up your files

You can lose files by accidentally deleting or replacing them, because of a virus or worm attack, software or hardware failure, or a complete hard disk failure. To protect your files, you can create a backup: a set of copies of the files that is stored in a different location from the original files. Windows provides tools for backing up files, programs, and system settings.

Types of backups

You should back up your personal files, programs, and system settings. You should also create restore points so that you can restore your computer to a previous state when necessary. The table below describes each of these options.

To back up	Use	When to use
Personal files such as pictures, music, and documents	Back Up Files wizard	You should regularly back up the files you create and modify. It's also a good idea to back up your files before making any system changes, such as adding new hardware, updating drivers, editing the registry, or making large changes to Windows, such as installing a service pack. For more information about backing up files, see Back up your files. The Back Up Files wizard is included with Windows Vista Home Basic, Windows Vista Home Premium, Windows Vista Business, Windows Vista Enterprise, and Windows Vista Ultimate.
Your entire computer	Windows Complete PC Backup	When you first set up your computer, you should create a Windows Complete PC Backup image, which is like taking a snapshot of the programs, system settings, and files on your computer. You can use this backup if your computer ever stops working. Although this type of backup includes your personal files, we recommend that you back up your files regularly using the Back Up Files wizard. You should also update the Windows Complete PC Backup image every six months.

How to Improve Spoken English?

Many deserving candidates lose out on job opportunities because of their vernacular accent.
Can I 'neutralise' my accent?
Yes, you can. All you need to do is train yourself to speak English as comfortably and perfectly as you speak your mother tongue.
How do you train yourself? By inculcating certain practices in your daily lifestyle. These will get you closer to sounding like a native English speaker and equip you with a global accent -- and you will speak not American or British English, but correct English.
This is the first step to learn any other accent, be it American or British or Australian.
Lisa Mojsin, head trainer, director and founder of the Accurate English Training Company in Los Angeles, offers these tips to help 'neutralise' your accent or rather do away with the local twang, as you speak.
i. Observe the mouth movements of those who speak English well and try to imitate them.
When you are watching television, observe the mouth movements of the speakers. Repeat what they are saying, while imitating the intonation and rhythm of their speech.
ii. Until you learn the correct intonation and rhythm of English, slow your speech down.
If you speak too quickly, and with the wrong intonation and rhythm, native speakers will have a hard time understanding you. 
Don't worry about your listener getting impatient with your slow speech -- it is more important that everything you say be understood.

iii. Listen to the 'music' of English.
 
Do not use the 'music' of your native language when you speak English. Each language has its own way of 'singing'. 
iv. Use the dictionary.
Try and familiarise yourself with the phonetic symbols of your dictionary. Look up the correct pronunciation of words that are hard for you to say.
v. Make a list of frequently used words that you find difficult to pronounce and ask someone who speaks the language well to pronounce them for you.
Record these words, listen to them and practice saying them. Listen and read at the same time.   
vi. Buy books on tape.
Record yourself reading some sections of the book. Compare the sound of your English with that of the person reading the book on the tape.
vii. Pronounce the ending of each word.
Pay special attention to 'S' and 'ED' endings. This will help you strengthen the mouth muscles that you use when you speak English.
 
viii. Read aloud in English for 15-20 minutes every day. 

Research has shown it takes about three months of daily practice to develop strong mouth muscles for speaking a new language.
ix. Record your own voice and listen for pronunciation mistakes.
Many people hate to hear the sound of their voice and avoid listening to themselves speak. However, this is a very important exercise because doing it will help you become conscious of the mistakes you are making.
x. Be patient.
You can change the way you speak but it won't happen overnight. People often expect instant results and give up too soon. You can change the way you sound if you are willing to put some effort into it.
Quick tips
Various versions of the English language exist. Begin by identifying the category you fall into and start by improving the clarity of your speech.
~ Focus on removing the mother tongue influence and the 'Indianisms' that creep into your English conversations.
~ Watch the English news on television channels like Star World, CNN, BBC and English movies on Star Movies and HBO.
~ Listen to and sing English songs. We'd recommend Westlife, Robbie Williams , Abba, Skeeter Davis and Connie Francis among others.
Books to help you improve your English

The feint drift technique

 

 The feint drift technique

 

1. Once you are almost at the corner, slightly turn the steering wheel so that the car is turning away from the corner.This will momentarily transfer the vehicle weight outwards.

2. Immediately cut back towards the turn, and at the same time release the dutch, which will cause the rear wheels to spin. You will feel a hydroplane effect in the car as you slide around the curve. Do not let the drift go, because it will give you momentum for the next corner.

3. Keep your foot on the accelerator to keep it from spinning out.

4. As you approach the next turn,cut your steering wheel in the direction of the turn: If you were too slow on your first drift, kick the dutch again to get the wheels spinning.

How to Drift a Car with Hand Brake

First, you must have the right car. To drift successfully, a rear-wheel drive car is a good idea. It is possible to drift a frontwheel drive car, but it is a lot more difficult.

The first step in all drift techniques is to make sure your engine RPM's are at 4000 - 5000 before entering into any drift.

There are several techniques that can help you initiate your drift. After your car started to slide, the rest is all about your steering and gas pedal control.

Hand brake technique
This is usually the easiest and most common way to start off with. All beginners will have to get familiar with this technique first. If you are scared at first, you should also practice this technique until you are not afraid of the car being sliding.

180 Degrees Turn
In an empty lot, setup a cone in the middle. Drive up to the cone and rip the handbrake when you are almost approached to the cone in an attempt to do a 180 turn. Practice until you are no more and no less than 180 degrees from where you started. Remember to practice both left and right 180 degrees.

90 Degrees Turn
It's very similar to 180 degrees turn, but this requires controlling how hard your rip the ebrake. Practice until you are no more and no less than 90 degrees from where you started. Make sure to keep your car going after the drift.

360 Degrees Turn (Donut)
Now, this is more of acceleration and handbrake control together. You start the same ways you are going to do a 180. Once your car start to drift, you need to tap on your gas pedal to give a little more spin to your rear tires so your drift can keep going. This is often a little hard for beginner, because too much gas will cause your car oversteer too quick, and too less gas will not make your car keeps sliding. You need to get a feel to this and keep modulating gas pedal in order to maintain a nice 360 degrees turn around the cone and not hitting it or being too far from the cone. Practice in both clockwise and counterclockwise motion.

After you have mastered all three, then you should be very comfortable drifting around all kinds of corner with ebrake technique. Remember gas and steering control play very important part in drifting, and practice makes perfect. If you happen to spin out your car or loss control, don't be disappointed, just learn from your mistake.

How to Balance Work and Pleasure

1. Step 1
   Organize your life. A daily planner can help you balance your life. Let it guide you through your day. Make a place for writing down professional and personal goals to keep you focused.
   
2. Step 2
   Make the effort to plan each day's activities with both work and play time. Prioritize what you need to do but make sure to balance business and pleasure. Write things like "Take Andy to the park" and "Read novel" in your organizer to make sure they get done.
   
3. Step 3
   Be critical of your job. Explore other work options if it takes up more than 40 hours a week or you're burned out when you get home. Reduce your work hours if you can afford it. Eliminate long-term or large loan payments so you can reduce your work hours.
   
4. Step 4
   Learn to say "no" to family, friends and co-workers more often. Tell anyone asking for favors that you need to look at your schedule and will get back to them. Be honest about whether you want to do what they ask of you.
   
5. Step 5
   Use the expertise of others to bring balance into your life. Outsource administrative tasks if you own your own business. Pay your teenage niece to baby-sit your kids so you can take a yoga class. Hire a tax preparer to handle your tax headaches.

How to gain weight rapidly?

brewing yeast. It has a lot of vitamin B, too. It will make you gain
weight in a week. Either buy at pharmacies, as supplement, or in any
place which specializes in brewing. Three pills a day/three tablespoons a
day - depends on the product, and you are there. Good for bones and
hair as well.

Eat lots of protein and carbs, and then start lifting weights consistently 3 times a week. I know you said don't suggest the gym, but weight training really is the best way to healthily gain weight, and the fastest, best way to gain muscle mass. Unless of course you want to get fat. Then just eat pizza all day and don't do anything active.


Food that's rich in protein and low in fat: Chicken, cottage cheese, fish, turkey, steak, eggs, peanut butter. Also, if you really want, get some protein powder and make a shake within 30 minutes of lifting. The cottage cheese is especially good to eat right before bed because it contains chemicals that prevents muscle breakdown.

Food rich in carbs: pasta, whole grain bread, crackers, rice, etc.
Try to get 3000 calories of healthy foods a day to really pack on some pounds.

How to Reduce Tummy

Tummy Reduction Diet

Exercise goes hand in hand with a balanced diet in tummy reduction. Abdominal obesity is a result of improper lifestyle, poor diet and low physical activity. Decline in the oestrogen production also causes an increase in weight, especially around the abdominal region. Choosing the right foods is important to reduce belly. Whole grains, fruits, cereals and vegetables are a part of a healthy diet.

Moderate intake of desserts is preferred, as they contribute to a lot of calories, due to their increased content of fats or sugars. Avoid saturated fats, such as butter, clarified butter and hydrogenated fats. The bicycle exercise is easy to do at home. It calls for no sophisticated equipments. Lie flat on your back with palms under the head. Lift the shoulder with bent knees over your chest.

Touch the left knee with your right elbows. Alternate between both the sides and have a pedalling motion with your knees. Vertical leg crunch is yet another home exercise. Lie flat on your back and lift your legs. Place them perpendicular to the floor. Lift your shoulder blades, such that you try to touch your legs.

Tips on Choosing a Good Domain Name

1. Your Domain Name Should Be Your Website Name

Naming your site after your domain may seem obvious to some of you, but you'll be surprised to learn that not every website is named after the domain name even when the webmaster owns that domain name.

2. Generic Names Or Brand Name Domains?

I know that a number of people seem to think that your domain name really must be some generic name like "cars.com" if you are selling cars. Witness, for example, how much money those generic names are being sold for. But seriously, if you were looking for a car, you'll probably already have some brands in mind, and you're more like to try out things like generalmotors.com or toyota.com rather than just cars.com.

3. Long or Short Domain Names?

Domain names can be of any length up to 67 characters. You don't have to settle for an obscure domain name like avab.com when what you mean is AcmeVideosAndBooks.com.
Having said that, there appears to be some disagreement about whether a long or short domain name is better.
Some argue that shorter domain names are easier to remember, easier to type and far less susceptible to mistakes: for example, "getit.com" is easier to remember and less prone to typos than "connecttomywebsiteandobtainit.com".

The History Behind Valentine's Day

On 14 February we celebrate Saint Valentine’s Day, usually by the way of exchanging cards, sweets, lingerie, flowers or jewelry.

But, what exactly are we celebrating, is it just a holiday the retail stores invented to get our money? One could think so, but no, we are actually celebrating a Christian Holiday, Saint Valentine’s.

We are following a Christian and ancient Roman tradition. By now the Catholic Church recognizes three Saints by the name of Valentine, or Valentinus.

The first legend to the background of the celebration of Valentine’s Day is this:

During the 3rd century a priest by the name of Valentine, under Claudius II in Rome, secretly disobeyed the law.

Claudius had come to believe that a single soldier was a better soldier than a married young man and so decided to outlaw marriage in order to have plenty young strong men with no wives at his disposal.

Valentine, the priest, did not obey this law and continued to celebrate the holy bond of marriage for young couples in secrecy.

Of course, the way it always works with secret clauses, he was caught and sent to his death.

The second legend believes that Valentine was a prisoner who fell in love with a young woman, who came to see him often. It is believed that she was his jailors daughter. Before his untimely death he wrote her a love letter, signed with ‘YourValentine’. There fore the phrase ‘Be my Valentine’.

Some believe he was beheaded, others thought that he died of sickness.

No one is even sure if 14 February was the day of his birth or his death or if it had indeed anything to do with Saint Valentine at all. The only thing that is for sure, is that the Romans had a tradition in the middle of February, which would mark the 14th, called the Love Lottery. It was believed that spring and with it the renewal of life came along in the middle of February, therefore the love lottery was held, coupling young men and women for one year, often leading to marriage.

Valentine’s Day is celebrated in the USA, Canada, Mexico, France, Australia and the United Kingdom.

The oldest known Valentine’s card can be viewed in the British museum.

Valentine’s day became an official Catholic Holiday in the year 496 or 498 AD. Pope Gelasius declared the 14 February to be Saint Valentine’s Day.

The oldest known and remembered Valentine’s poem is from Charles, Duke of Orleans to his wife, in 1415, while he was imprisoned in the Tower of London. It is part of a manuscript collection of the British Library in London.

Years later King Henry V is supposed to have hired the writer John Lydgate to compose a Valentine’s letter to Catherine of Kalois.

In Great Britain it was around the 17th century that Valentine’s Day became a celebrated Holiday. By the middle of the 18th century it was common for all social classes to exchange small gifts or handwritten notes with lovers, loved ones and friends.

By the end of the 18th century printed Valentine’s cards were available.

In the United States people started celebrating Valentine’s Day in the early 1700’s by exchanging Valentine’s notes.

The Greeting Card Association announced that Valentine’s Day is the second best selling card-sending day with one billion cards sold per year. The leader in the card industry is with 2.6 billion, Christmas.

In the year 1835 Pope Gregory XVI was so impressed by the Irish Priest Father John Spratt that he gave him the black and golden casket, which is believed to house the remains of Saint Valentine. This gift from Rome, the black and golden casket, can actually be viewed on Valentine’s Day every year at Whitefriar Street Church in Dublin, Ireland.

We hope that you did enjoy this little background on Valentine’s Day and we wish you a very happy Valentine’s Day, with lots of lasting love and Friendship!
