Don’t forget to watch this video in HD. In this video I will show you how to install Ubuntu 12.10 on your USB flash drive. It’s useful if you just want to try it out but you don’t want to install it on your local drive where Windows is. Download links: Universal USB Installer: bit.ly Ubuntu ISO file: bit.ly Keep in mind that it is possible that your USB flash drive is not bootable (because I have had an external hard drive that wasn’t bootable). If it’s not bootable, you will not be able to boot your computer from it. I don’t know if you can run into problems with Windows 8′s secure boot (my computer can’t use it). There may be other problems that keep you from booting your USB drive. Keep in mind that you should use antivirus software. Although you are able to browse your file system with an Ubuntu Live USB, you should keep in mind that a virus can remove the files before you boot up from the USB drive and always backup your system, you won’t be able to get your files back if your SSD/HDD crashes!

Repairing a non ejecting Dell Sony DVD drive Movie.wmv
My Dell Dimension E521 pc would not eject the dvd tray when the button is pushed. I came across the solution from Youtuber linli540 when I was looking at wind turbine videos. He was speaking in Taiwanese. I hope this repair in English will help you. Eager to fix my pc, I broke open the dvd reader recorder of my Dell pc. I used one piece of paper initially to reduce the magnetism of the magnet in the nylon hub attached to the upper metal case. That worked half of the time. I added a second piece of paper to cover the magnet which made it much better. You can try a thin card and glue it down well. Try nail polish instead of glue if it doesn’t adhere well. You might also want to use a small diameter paper, the size of a penny. I don’t know how long my repair would last. I was using the drive mostly to install programs and drivers. Other dvd non ejecting problem relates to worn belt drive. This is not the case with this dvd. I suspect this model Sony brand and similar dvd drives will eventually suffer this problem. Please note I am not responsible should you use my method of repair and damage your drive or dvd. Thanks for watching.
