Recently, I bought a 200GB hard disk and wanted to change its format from NTFS to FAT32. But because of the size is more than 32 GB, I cannot format it in Windows XP.

I search the Google for possible solutions and I found many sites that are offering the formatting software for some price. However, I found a software that can format my hard disk to FAT32 for free.

The software that I’m talking about is fat32format. It’s a small software that can format your hard disk in Windows XP. For more information on this software, you can go to http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm and read the instruction carefully before you do it because formatting your hard disk means erasing your data.

So, be very careful and double check before you execute it.

One of this blog reader left an interesting comment on how to close open files using computer management tools. He left it on a post “Cannot delete file: It is being used by another person or program“.

I tried the tip by Brian when I cannot move a file to a folder. However, it didn’t work for me because there are no open files when I open it. Maybe something else that made I cannot move my files, but I think you can try it. Right click on my computer and choose manage then choose shared folder -> open files and close any files that are open at that time.

If you still cannot delete or close any files because another program is using it, you can try my tips on this post.

Today I received an email with the subject “You Have Card” and I think most of you will immediately know that this is another type of virus attack. This time it’s a rootkit and it was sent as an email attachment and when I open the email, Avast! AntiVirus detected the rootkit and immediately deleted it.

For those of you who don’t know what a rootkit is, I will explain it briefly here. A rootkit is another type of online threats that cannot be detected by your antivirus. It’s because it can hide itself in the system and will download a trojan horse or a virus into your system.

The Avast! Antivirus is capable of detecting a worm in emails attachment and I was saved by Avast! so many times when this type of attack occur. So, remember, when you received an email from an unknown sender, remember to delete it immediately.

If you still want to open the email before deleting it, you must have an antivirus installed with email scanner before you proceed or you will risk your computer to rootkit attack.
