PC at Sea
You never had to lose by months created documents or in general to remain for long months of voyage without the computer? No...?! Happy man...-:)!
Skilled in PC - Is not necessary to smile or explain in what difference between Windlass and Heaving line...? But we should know all !
Prepare for worse...
The time runs... Plug-in teeth becomes more, than hair on a head...:)! There are hundreds new programs both opportunities on installation and debugging OS. How to not sink in this sea new?! Our basic tasks: 1) Safety of the documents. 2) Re - installation OS.
1) Safety of the documents.
If to the computer, has access still someone, except of you - wait for a surprise! That your documents have remained, even after crash OS and subsequent formatting and re-installation - necessary to create a logic disk. You can do it through the program Partition Magic. During voyage it's necessary to store all documents on this disk, created for the users shortcut.
Alternative: Buy " USB data storage " their capacity from 128Mb up to 2Gb, price accordingly from 34 up to 160 Euro. Reliably for a storage of the information.
2) Re - Installation OS
In the sea of the help do not wait...! You should be able re-install of Windows.
Is necessary: LOADING CD - Windows XP.
All changes in BIOS write down, after installation OS - restore it. BIOS does not forgive of mistakes! By one word two words -:) BE ATTENTIVE!
1) All important documents copy on created earlier Logic disk, or on USB data storage.
2) Before the beginning of installation, in BIOS we change a priority of loading (BOOT PRIORITY in section Boot Sequence), on the first place we put CD-ROM.
3) At a situation, when BIOS is protected by the password - it is necessary to spend 5 minutes to reset(dump) protection. Remove a casing РС, in eyes will rush by the size with 5 cents a coin brilliant battery and near will find the crosspiece with an inscription "Reset" - pull out both for 1 minute, then insert back. All installations BIOS, including the password will be reset.
4) Install OS, following the instructions on the screen.

So, what is necessary to have with itself?: - Only 2 СД!
1. LOADING CD - Windows XP
2. CD with a necessary minimum: Office XP, Partition Magic (creation of a logic disk), archivers WinZip, WinRar, Acrobat Reader, Antivirus.
Why Windows XP? The practice has shown - on many vessels are lost CD with drivers, and ХР has rich library of these drivers and itself finds and establishes necessary.
Good Luck!
