Reason of Error:

Most of the time this error appears because of bad sectors in hard disk or because of any physical damage.

Solution:

In this case you can not repair the hard disk at your home. Unfortunately if you stuck in such situation, you should not keep trying installing windows again and again in same hard disk. It may damage your hard disk fully and you will not be able to even backup your important data anymore.

The best option is to connect this hard disk with working windows computer as secondary storage using extra SATA & power cable, and backup your data first. If you want to backup large amount of data from the disk, try using disk clone software to backup the entire hard disk, this can save your time too.

Once you done with the backup process, you can try running diagnose and repair tool to check the health of your disk or if your hard disk is in warranty period then prefer to send it back to manufacturer, they will repair it for you or else they will replace it with new hard disk.

How to share files between Raspberry Pi & Windows using shared folder. https://blog.etechpath.com/how-to-share-files-between-raspberry-pi-windows-using-shared-folder/ https://blog.etechpath.com/how-to-share-files-between-raspberry-pi-windows-using-shared-folder/#respond Sat, 21 Oct 2017 22:37:03 +0000 https://blog.etechpath.com/?p=435 About:
For sharing files between Raspberry Pi and Windows we need to setup a file server on Raspberry Pi, here in this tutorial we will use SAMBA file server to share files between two different operating systems.

What is SAMBA:

SAMBA is Linux based free tool which is widely used for file sharing in Windows PC, Apple Computers, and Unix-based operating systems. It is re-implementation of SMB/CIFS standard networking protocol and was developed by Andrew Tridgell. This tool is written in C,C++ and Python programming language and licensed under GPLv3.

How to Setup SAMBA in Raspberry Pi

1.Update apt

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo apt update

 

2. Install SAMBA on your raspberry pi,

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo apt-get install samba




(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

3. After finishing installation, configure SAMBA by editing configuration file /etc/samba/smb.conf

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

In this configuration file, you will need to add the workgroup name of the computer which you are going to connect with the raspberry pi.  To find workgroup name in windows 7 :- Right click on My Computer and enter properties -> Full computer name is your workgroup name (Example =>).

workgroup name
workgroup name
workgroup = MYWORKGROUP
wins support = yes

Replace MYWORKGROUP with your workgroup name. Save & exit the file by pressing ctrl+X , Y, Enter. Change wins support to yes.

 

4. Create shared folder in raspberry pi directory and give read, write & execute permission for this folder to all users.

pi@raspberrypi~ $ mkdir /home/pi/shared
pi@raspberrypi~ $ chmod 777 /home/pi/shared

 

5. Define the behavior  of shared folder. For that purpose we will net to edit configuration file again. /etc/samba/smb.conf

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

Add following lines in this file. Save & exit by pressing ctrl+X, Y, Enter.

[pishare]  
     comment = pi shared folder
     path = /home/pi/shared
     browsable = yes
     guest ok = yes
     writable = yes

 

6. Restart SAMBA,

pi@raspberrypi ~ $ sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart





How to setup shared folder in Windows:

  1. Make sure your computer and raspberry pi connected to same network and configured properly.
  2. Open Network tab on the left side of explorer window.
  3. After searching process, you will see a shared computer named as your raspberry pi hostname.
  4. Open it up and you will find Shared folder inside it which we have just created in raspberry pi.
  5. Now you can start sharing files and taking backup between your raspberry pi and windows computer.

How to Start Telnet Client in Windows 7 https://blog.etechpath.com/how-to-start-telnet-client-in-windows-7/ https://blog.etechpath.com/how-to-start-telnet-client-in-windows-7/#respond Sat, 09 Sep 2017 02:49:41 +0000 https://blog.etechpath.com/?p=291 About:

Telnet is a protocol that helps you to connect to remote computers and local network computers over a TCP / IP ports or networks. In windows operating system, telnet client is disabled by default. So, you need to enable it from windows features.

 

Steps:  

  1. Click Start and then Go to Control Panel .telnet_client_step1

  2. Click Programs and Feature and Open Turn Windows feature on or off  .telnet_client_step2

  3. Check Telnet Client check box form Windows Features dialog box and click OK. System will install necessary files to your system by itself.telnet_client_step3

  4. To start telnet in command prompt, Open CMD from Start menu and execute this command once,  pkgmgr/iu:”TelnetClient” and press enter.telnet_client_step4



  5. Now you can start using telnet client to connect to remote computer or webpage, For that input command ‘telnet’ followed by IP address/ webpage with telnet port i.e 23 in my case.  example: telnet 192.168.1.200 23telnet_client_step5( Note : System may ask for user ID and password to connect proposed remote computer. )
