Motivational Quotes to Empower You

The greatest thing we have is life. And life holds so many things that are important to us – our dreams, our family and loved ones, the work that we do, fulfilling our purpose and meaning, remembering our divinity as we honor the Divine and so much more.

Truth Fighter

Never going to get me down,
never going to hold me back.
I hear your insults
your sarcasm fill the air
it's more of a joke than anything.

Strip away all the negativity
the truth comes out
never need to be covered in
layers of masks where the
true self never comes out.

While you hide behind your
tough exterior inflated in your
air balloon its about to pop
with your ignorance.

If you dig down deep maybe
you can face yourself instead
and find the truth out about you.

There is nothing true about you
looking always to make others
weak on their knees
instilling fear in their minds
trying to take control hoping
they submit to your ways.

Control, I take away your power,
I'm just a little bit stronger and wiser
I've always been a fighter.

Not afraid to put on my boxing gloves
if you want to go around and around
about your politically correct views.
My skin is so much thicker.

Intimidation will only intimidate
me to fight harder to never allow
your hatred to take over.

You come towards me thinking
you got power only to discover
I know you're ignorant as ever.

Underestimating you think you
have your politically correct
views covered, think you
need to holler a little bit louder
Your sarcasm can't be any harder
I know you just want to be cooler.

I stand my ground never backing
down because you make me think
I must be so much smarter to be
wiser stripping away all those
negative messages avoiding
the facade of being a liar.

Staying true to what I believe
never have a reason to deceive others,
deception blocks your view
as you never want to see the truth
behind the hatred in your eyes.

No I won't join you,
I rather be a truth fighter.

My Heart Breathing In Your Love Once Again

Pretending that you don't miss anything,
it is such a breeze,
always wanting to flee.

Leaving me alone while you sleep.
Walking around under the full moon
feeling its light reflect off my face,
leaving your dreams going back
in time.

You'd love it if we could be lovers,
I felt that fire blazing inside.
Passion biting my heart as it breaks.
The ending depends on fate.
Your love brings me on my knees
once again.

Never satisfied taking every word I say,
playing with my heart strings again.
Love mutilates the emotions that
becomes a scary beast within.

Breathing in your flesh desire strikes
once again.
Tasting bitter sweet lips again,
tainting my smile,
anticipating every complaint
nothings going to make you
happy unless you surrender
to love one more time.

This world is filled with deception and lies.
My heart sits fighting as it breathes
through flames of desire once again.
Every time I look into your eyes,
I realize the hearts desire that grows
deep inside.

Telling myself to be still,
quiet the mind,
understanding the floodgates
will open flowing with eternal love
that intoxicates the airways
as I try to breath in your name once again.

Being still under the moonlight,
stars shining down pouring light into my soul,
shooting through my veins as I find
myself falling in love with you all over again.

10 Ways to Know if a Guy Likes You

Is It really true what they say?

Women are from Venus and men are from Mars, is that a myth or a fact. I say that this is not entirely true but, yes there is a difference in the way men and women think, react, and how they love. For instance, in some cases men exhibit strong feelings and display mounds of emotion that can infact have no real substance. Ok, to put into lamens terms they are great actors and pretenders. Some of them have the ability to turn their feelings on and off without a moments notice; While, women for the most part, have difficultly hiding their true emotions or lack there of. Women and men differ in many aspects of this relationship game but, when it comes to emotions,and love, finding the opposite sex who share's your view could be a sign that this just may be your potential mate. I am going to give you ten different ways to know that a guy likes you. I am stressing that these ways are all a matter of my personal opinion. You can agree or disagree. It's all in fun. At the end of this hub i will do a poll, it is important to me that everyone take this poll. I ask that you share your opinions with me and my readings. Thanks in advance for reading my article , please feel free to leave comments by way of advice and constructive criticism dont forget to follow me.

1st Way to know he likes you is

He makes himself readily available for you. What I mean by this is, he is never too busy for u. If u need him he's there. If he wants to be in your company this is a good thing. Beware ladies if he doesn't want to spend time with you ladies 9 times out of ten he's spending time with someone else. Every now and then he may want to hang with the guys, but for the most part if a guy likes you then he craves your company.

2nd Way to know if a guy likes you is

He compliments you. If a guy is fond of you he is constantly paying you attention and flattering you by way of compliments. Whether it's the classic your beautiful fix or nothing more than to pay compliment on your attire. He will say something in hopes of boosting your confidence or making you feel good.

3rd way to know if a guy likes you is

He listens to what your saying. This is very important because, most ladies find themselves in a relationship alone literally. There mate ignores them and tunes them out. This doesn't surprise me at all. If your lucky and you find someone who is intrigued enough by your conversation, it's safe to say that he definitely like you and just may be a keeper.

4th way to know if a guy likes you is

He never places judgement on you. This one is a given. It says a lot about a person's character and upbringing when they can shed all bad comments and advice regarding their potential mate and enter into a relationship with a clear conscious. You see when it comes to he say, she say you can never listen because people have different motives. You never know u may be dating the male/female of their dreams and they could be hating. It takes a real man/women to pursue someone regardless of the rumors. Ladies lets keep it real I'm not much of a Lil Wayne fan but he put it in lamen's terms when he said, "I wouldn't care if you were a prostitute and you ran through every guy you knew". Not quite that outwitted but I get his point.

5th way to know if a guy likes you is

He respects you. What I mean by this is, he never makes you feel uncomfortable. He never speaks to you in a derogatory tone or makes ugly comments to you. He never makes you feel unwanted.

6th way to know if he likes you is

 He is or tries to be affectionate with u.  If your mate is always being passionate or affectionate with u then he definitely likes you. Men for the most part are very private with affection so, If he tries to be affectionate with you especially in a public place, or in front of others allow him to be.

7th Way to know if he likes you is

 He buys you things. If you never ask for anything yet, everytime you see your mate he has something for you. This not only says that he likes you but, it shows that he thinks about you even when you aren't in his presence and that is great.

8th way to know if a guy likes you is

He blushes at the sight or very thought of you. This is perhaps the most flattering of the equation. Every woman likes to be liked or made a fuss over. It chemistry heightens when u can have that person that your fond of to be just as fond of you as you are of them.

9th Way to know if he likes you is

He Gives you foot rubs. Now very seldom will you find a guy who will surcome to rubbing your feet. If you find one who is willing to rub your feet chances are he's really into you. So be appreciative and encouraging. Reap the benefits of this generous mate.

10th Way to know if he likes you is

He says to you, "I Like You".  The last one is stating the obvious of course. These days you can't be too careful, and you should take nothing for granted. If he hasn't told you, then you probably should ask. We don't want you to be planning a wedding and your mate is just being involved with you to past time. After all nobody wants to be somebody elses something to do.

Opsi ketiga "Something else"; opsi ini memungkinkan kita mengatur secara mandiri instalasi Ubuntu bersama Windows 7 dengan menyusun partisi secara manual (akan kami jelaskan pada langkah berikutnya).

Gambar 4, Ubuntu 11.10 mendeteksi keberadaan sistem operasi lain dan juga sistem operasi Ubuntu versi sebelumnya, dalam contoh ini sistem yang telah ada adalah Windows 7 dan Ubuntu 11.04. Dalam kondisi ini kita diminta untuk memilih beberapa opsi, opsi pertama "Erase Ubuntu 11.04 and reinstall"; jika Anda memilih opsi ini maka instalasi Ubuntu 11.04 akan dihapus dan digantikan oleh Ubuntu 11.10. Peringatan!!!: pilihan ini akan menghapus semua file dan data yang berada dalam sistem Ubuntu 11.04. Opsi kedua "Upgrade Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10"; opsi ini digunakan untuk meng-upgrade sistem Ubuntu 11.04 yang telah ada menjadi Ubuntu 11.10, dengan cara ini semua data dan file yang disimpan tidak akan dihapus. Perangkat lunak yang telah diinstal pada sistem versi sebelumnya akan dipertahankan jika memungkinkan, sepanjang dependensi dan kompatibilitas dengan Ubuntu 11.10 terpenuhi, jika tidak, perangkat lunak akan dihapus. Opsi ketiga "Erase everything and reinstall"; Peringatan!!!, pilihan ini akan menghapus semua sistem yang telah ada (Windows 7 dan Ubuntu 11.04) beserta semua data dan file yang ada dalam hardisk. Opsi keempat "Something else"; penjelasan sama dengan gambar sebelumnya.

Gambar 5, Ubuntu 11.10 tidak mendeteksi keberadaan sistem operasi lain, hal ini mungkin terjadi karena Ubuntu tidak mengenali, atau hardisk masih dalam keadaan kosong (baru) dan atau hardisk telah memiliki bebrapa partisi yang berisi data dan file-file lain. Dalam keadaan tersebut kita hanya diberika dua pilihan, opsi pertama "Erase disk and install Ubuntu"; Peringatan!!!: ini akan menghapus semua isi hardisk dan Ubuntu 11.10 akan melakukan instalasi (penentuan partisi) secara otomatis. Opsi kedua "Something else"; sama dengan penjelasan gambar sebelumnya.

Dari semua kemungkinan di atas, kami menyarankan Anda memilih opsi terakhir "Something else". Dengan memilih opsi tersebut kita dapat menentukan proses pembuat partisi secara manual sesuai kebutuhan. Tentukan pilihan Anda, lalu lanjutkan proses dengan menekan tombol "Continue".

Jika Anda memilih opsi terakhir "Something else", pada halaman selanjutnya Ubuntu 11.10 akan menampilkan tabel partisi pada hardisk yang dikenali...

Gambar 6, hardisk dalam keadaan kosong atau masih baru, untuk dapat menggunakannya kita harus membuat sebuah tabel partisi baru pada hardisk tersebut (/dev/sda). Untuk membuat tabel partisi pada hardisk baru, tekan tombol "New Partition table...", sebuah dialog "Create new empty partition table..." akan ditampilkan ( Gambar 7 ), tekan tombol "Continue" pada dialog tersebut untuk melanjutkan pembuatan tabel partisi.

Gambar 8, Ubuntu mengenali sebuah hardisk yang telah memiliki beberapa partisi dan menemukan sistem operasi lain (Windows 7) terinstal didalamnya. Pada contoh ini, hardisk yang kami gunakan telah berisi Windows 7 pada drive C dan sebuah partisi berisi file yang tidak penting pada drive D. Ubuntu mengenali hardisk sebagai /dev/sda dan telah memiliki tiga partisi masing-masing /dev/sda1 (system reserved), /dev/sda2 (drive C tempat sistem Windows 7 diinstal) dan /dev/sda3 (drive D) yang akan kami hapus untuk menginstal Ubuntu 11.10. Dalam kondisi ini, Anda jangan mengutak-atik partisi lain selain partisi yang memang telah kita tentukan untuk tempat instalasi Ubuntu. Pilih partisi yang telah ditentukan lalu tekan tombol "Delete", Peringatan!!!: partisi beserta isinya akan dihapus dan TIDAK DAPAT DIKEMBALIKAN LAGI sehingga sebelum menekan tombol tersebut pastikan Anda tidak salah pilih.

Gambar 9, Ubuntu mengenali keberadaan sebuah hardisk yang telah memiliki bebrapa partisi yang berisi file-file lain namun tidak menemukan sistem terinstal didalamnya. Jika file-file yang ada dalam hardisk tersebut sudah tidak diperlukan lagi dan Anda ingin menggunakan seluruh isi hardisk, pilih sebuah partisi lalu tekan tombol "Delete", Peringatan!!!: partisi beserta isinya akan dihapus dan TIDAK DAPAT DIKEMBALIKAN LAGI. Ulangi langkah tersebut dengan memilih satu persatu partisi lain yang akan dihapus. Pada langkah ini, Anda juga dapat memilih untuk hanya menghapus sebuah partisi saja yang nantinya akan digunakan sebagai tempat menginstal Ubuntu 11.10 dengan pertimbangan partisi lain dapat digunakan menyimpan data dan file-file penting lainnya.

Dari semua langkah yang kita lakukan di atas, dengan berbagai kondisi dan pilihan yang telah kita tentukan, hasilnya adalah sebuah "free space" dibawah /dev/sda ( Gambar 10 ) yang selanjutnya akan kita susun partisi-partisi baru pada free space tersebut untuk menginstal Ubuntu.

Langkah selanjutnya adalah menyusun partisi secara manual...

Gambar 11, Partisi pertama yang akan dibuat adalah partisi "swap". Pilih pada free space lalu tekan tombol "Add", pada halaman "Create partition" opsi "Type for the new partition:" pilih "Primary" jika masih memungkinkan, pada opsi "New partition size...:" tentukan kapasitas partisi yang akan dibuat, pada contoh ini kami tentukan nilai "1024" dalam satuan megabyte. Pada opsi "Location for...:" pilih "Beginning" dan pada opsi "Use as:" pilih "swap area", tekan tombol "OK" untuk membuat partisi "swap".

Gambar 12, Partisi kedua adalah partisi "/". Pilih pada free space yang masih ada lalu tekan tombol "Add", pada halaman "Create partition" opsi "Type for the new partition:" pilih "Primary" jika masih memungkinkan, pada opsi "New partition size...:" tentukan kapasitas partisi yang akan dibuat, pada contoh ini kami tentukan nilai "15000" dalam satuan megabyte. Pada opsi "Location for...:" pilih "Beginning", pada opsi "Use as:" pilih "Ext4 journaling file system", dan pada opsi "Mount point:" pilih "/", tekan tombol "OK" untuk membuat partisi "/".

Gambar 13, Partisi terakhir adalah partisi "/home". Pilih pada free space yang masih tersisa lalu tekan tombol "Add", pada halaman "Create partition" opsi "Type for the new partition:" pilih "Primary" jika masih memungkinkan, pada opsi "New partition size...:" tentukan kapasitas partisi yang akan dibuat, pada contoh ini kami menggunakan seluruh sisa free space yang ada "26925" dalam satuan megabyte. Pada opsi "Location for...:" pilih "Beginning", pada opsi "Use as:" pilih "Ext4 journaling file system", dan pada opsi "Mount point:" pilih "/home", tekan tombol "OK" untuk membuat partisi "/home".

Gambar 14, tabel partisi yang kita buat kurang lebih akan nampak seperti gambar tersebut. Kini Ubuntu 11.10 telah siap untuk diinstal, tekan tombol "Install Now" untuk melanjutkan proses instalasi.

Langkah-langkah selanjutnya tinggal mengisi informasi pribadi yang dibutuhkan. Pada halam "Where are you?" tentukan lokasi tempat Anda berda ( Gambar 15 ), tekan "Continue" untuk melanjutkan. Pada halaman "Keyboard layout" pilih tata letak keyboard yang digunakan atau biarkan dalam keadaan default ( Gambar 16 ), tekan "Continue" untuk melanjutkan. Pada halaman "Who are you?" isi semua informasi pribadi yang diminta, "Your name:" isi dengan nama lengkap Anda, "Your computer's name:" isi dengan nama komputer yang Anda inginkan, "Pick a username:" tentukan username yang akan digunakan untuk login ke sistem, "Choose a password:" dan "Confirm your password:" isi dengan password yang akan Anda gunakan saat login. Dua opsi dibawahnya, pilih pada "Require my password to log in" dan tidak perlu mengaktifkan pilihan "Encript my home folder" jika Anda tidak tahu kegunaannya ( Gambar 17 ), tekan "Continue" untuk melanjutkan. Semua informasi yang diminta telah selesai kita tentukan, slideshow informasi akan ditampilkan, tinggal menanti instalasi diselesaikan ( Gambar 18 ). Instalasi selesai, pada dialog "Installaton complete" tekan tombol "Restart Now" ( Gambar 19 ), komputer akan direstart, ambil CD/DVD installer yang dikeluarkan lalu tekan enter.

Beberapa saat kemudian komputer akan dinyalakan kembali...

MERAKIT dan MENGINSTALL KOMPUTER

Merakit komputer merupakan sesuatu yang menyenangkan bagi yang suka

dengan perakitan komputer. Sebelum mulai merakit komputer, maka

persiapkan dulu komponen-komponennya, seperti casing (termasuk catu daya),

motherboard, processor, heatsink dan kipasnya, memory, kartu grafis (VGA/AGP),

harddisk, CDROM / DVDROM, floppy disk drive, monitor, speaker, keyboard dan

mouse. Selain komponen di atas, persiapkan juga CD driver dan CD sistem operasi

serta software yang diperlukan. Persiapkan pula berbagai alat tangan seperti obeng,

tang dan pinset. Langkah-langkah untuk merakit PC secara umum adalah seperti

berikut ini.

1. Menyiapkan dan Mengamati Motherboard.

a. Siapkan Motherboardnya dan amati bagian-bagiannya dengan seksama.

Apabila perlu tulislah posisi komponen yang ada padanya agar lebih paham.

b. Setelah itu buka pengunci socket processor.

2. Ambil Processor.

a. Perhatikan bahwa processor mempunyai tanda pada salah satu sudutnya,

dalam hal ini biasanya ditandai dengan lekukan, lubang atau anak panah.

b. Cocokan tanda tersebut dengan tanda yang ada pada socket processor.

c. Jika saudara melakukan hal tersebut di atas dengan tepat, maka processor

akan dapat dimasukkan ke socketnya dengan baik dan benar.

d. Kunci kembali socket tersebut, dengan cara menekan tuas kebawah dan

mengaitkan pada pengunci yang ada.

3. Memasang Heatsink dan Kipas Pendingin.

a. Heatsink dan kipas angin biasanya sudah dirangkai menjadi satu, sehingga kita

hanya tinggal memasangnya dan untuk memasangnya sangatlah mudah.

b. Sebelum memasang, perhatikan posisi kabel daya untuk kipas dengan lokasi

connector dayanya. Cari jarak terpendek agar kabel daya itu tidak

bersinggungan dengan kipas.

c. Dalam contoh heatsink Pentium 4 kali ini bentuk pendinginnya adalah bulat dan

terdapat 4 buah pengunci pada 4 titik disekeliling pendingin.

d. Pasanglah heatsink tersebut dengan cara meletakkannya tepat di atas

processor dan sesuikan dudukan pendingin pada motherboard yang ada.

e. Kunci 4 titik pada pendingin tersebut dengan cara tekan dan putar searah

dengan jarum jam menggunakan obeng plus (+).

4. Memasang Memory

a. Untuk memasang memory, maka bukalah pengunci slot memory di kedua

sisinya pada motherboard.

b. Perhatihkan bahwa setiap keping memori memiliki celah pada sisi bawahnya.

Pada praktek kali ini kita menggunakan double data rate random access

memory (DDRAM). Ada jenis RAM yang lain, tetapi saat ini susah ditemukan

di pasaran dalam keadaan baru yang disebut dengan syncronous dynamic

random access memory (SDRAM).

c. Cocokkan celah ini dengan slot memori. Jika saudara memaksakan memasang

memory dengan arah yang salah, maka dapat merusakkan memory atau

bahkan motherboardnya.

d. Tekan keping memori pada kedua sisinya sehingga terdengar bunyi “klik”, dan

penguncinya akan menutup dengan sendirinya.

5. Menyiapkan Casing.

a. Siapkan casing yang akan digunakan.

b. Letakkan di atas meja atau tempat lain yang dianggap aman.

c. Lepas sekrup yang ada pada bagian belakang, kemudian buka panel

sampingnya dengan hati-hati, seperti pada gambar berikut ini.

d. Cocokkan posisi motherboard dengan dudukan yang ada pada casing.

e. Pastikan kaki-kaki tersebut akan mendukung motherboard saudara di bagian

yang membutuhkan tekanan kuat, seperti socket processor atau slot memory.

Jangan lupa setiap dudukan motherboard yang ada lubang bautnya harus

dikasih sekrup/baut, agar kedudukannya kuat (tidak goyah).

6. Memasang Motherboard.

a. Siapkan sekrup-sekrup yang digunakan dan obeng, kemudian pasang

motherboard saudara dengan benar pada dudukan yang tersedia.

b. Kuatkan (putar searah dengan jarum jam) semua sekrup yang digunakan untuk

motherboard tersebut dengan baik dan benar.

7. Menyiapkan Harddisk

a. Ambil harddisk saudara, dan perhatikan bagian jumpernya. Pada jumper akan

terdapat pilihan Master, Slave atau Cable Select. Informasi ini dapat ditemukan

pada permukaan harddisk.

b. Pasang jumper pada posisi sesuai dengan yang diinginkan. Jika perlu siapkan

pinset untuk mencabut dan memasang jumper pada harddisk.

8. Memasang Harddisk ke Casing.

a. Beberapa casing manggunakan sistem bracket yang dapat dilepas untuk

memudahkan dalam pemasangan harddisk dan floppy drive.

b. Pilihlah sekrup yang sesuai, jangan sampai terlalu besar atau terlalu panjang,

kemudian pasang sekrup tersebut pada dudukan harddisk dengan baik dan

benar.

9. Menghubungkan Harddisk ke Motherboard.

a. Perhatikan bahwa terdapat dua tipe kabel data IDE, yaitu 40-wire dan 34-wire.

Kabel 40-wire digunakan untuk harddisk, dan kabel 34-wire digunakan untuk

flopy disk drive (FDD).

b. Pemasangan kabel data ini tidak boleh terbalik. Pada salah satu sisi biasanya

terdapat kabel dengan warna merah yang menandakan pin nomor 1.

c. Posisi ini juga ditandai di harddisk. Normalnya posisi pin 1 pada harddisk

(kabel warna merah) berada tepat di sebelah connector daya (warna merah

pula).

10. Memasang Floppy Disk Drive (FDD).

a. Memasang Floppy drive, hampir sama dengan memasang harddisk, kecuali

untuk beberapa model casing yang memisahkan tempat floppy dan harddisk.

b. Beberapa tipe casing, kemungkinan perlu untuk membuka panel depannya

terlebih dahulu sebelum memasang floppy disk drive.

11. Menyiapkan CD / DVD Drive.

a. Seperti halnya harddisk, CD / DVD drive juga menggunakan jumper untuk

posisi Master dan Slave. Atur jumper tesebut pada posisi yang diinginkan.

b. Apabila hanya terdapat sebuah harddisk, maka jumper berada pada posisi

Master.

c. Seandainya terdapat 2 buah harddisk pada satu computer dan keduanya

diaktifkan, maka 1 harddisk dijadikan Master dan harddisk satunya harus diatur

pada posisi Slave.

12. Memasang CD / DVD drive.

a. Untuk memasang CD / DVD drive biasanya kita perlu melepas panel depan

casing terlebih dahulu, atau tergantung juga jenis dan model casing yang

digunakan.

b. Membuka penutup drive yang ada pada panel depan.

c. Pasanglah CD/DVD drive dengan benar, kemudian tutup kembali panel depan

(jika menggunakan panel depan).

13. Menghubungkan CD / DVD drive ke Motherboard.

a. Pemasangan kabel data IDE dari CD/DVD ke motherboard sama dengan

pemasangan harddisk.

b. Pasang connector CD / DVD, dan ujung satunya lagi ke motherboard, pada

connector yang bertuliskan CD.

c. Jangan lupa untuk selalu merapikan kabel-kabel tersebut agar tidak saling

terkait dan “semrawut”. Atur lintasan dan jalur kabel dengan rapi, jika perlu

ikatlah agar lebih rapi dan enak dipandang mata.

14. Menghubungkan Kabel Connector pada Motherboard.

a. Sekarang kita perlu menyambung kabel-kabel dari casing ke motherboard.

b. Kabel ini terdiri dari switch daya, indikator harddisk, indikator daya, tombol reset

dan speaker, seperti tampak pada gambar berikut ini.

c. Untuk casing yang menyediakan panel depan, misalnya universal serial bus

(USB), maka kabel-kabelnya juga harus dihubungkan ke motherboard agar

dapat berfungsi dengan normal.

15. Menghubungkan Kabel Daya.

a. Setelah semua terpasang, maka langkah selanjutnya adalah menghubungkan

kabel daya dari catu daya ke motherboard, harddisk, FDD dan CDROM.

b. Untuk motherboard Pentium 4, biasanya paling tidak ada 2 connector daya

yang harus dipasang, seperti gambar berikut ini.

c. Kemudian sambungkan juga kabel-kabel daya ke hardisk, floppy, dan CD/

DVD. Jika casing saudara menggunakan kipas pendingin, maka hubungkan ke

catu daya atau ke motherboard, sesuai dengan connector yang dimiliki.

16. Siapkan Komponen-Komponen Bagian Luar.

a. Jika komponen bagian dalam sudah beres, maka sekarang giliran komponenkomponen

bagian luar, seperti monitor, keyboard, mouse dan speaker.

b. Untuk komponen-komponen ini, kita tinggal menyambungkan kabel-kabelnya

saja pada terminal yang telah ditentukan, misalnya keyboard, mouse, speaker

dan lain-lainnya.

c. Jangan lupa untuk kabel-kabel daya, baik untuk bagian casing maupun

monitor.

17. Memeriksa Catu Daya.

a. Periksalah dengan seksama untuk catu daya yang digunakan. Tegangan

normalnya adalah 220 – 230 Volt. Apabila disediakan switch, maka pindahkan

switch ke sumber tegangan yang sesuai.

b. Beberapa power supply dilengkapi dengan pemindahan tegangan (switch)

antara 110 atau 220 Volt.

18. PC Saudara Sudah Siap.

a. Sekarang PC saudara sudah benar-benar siap, dan bisa di ON kan power

Supplynya. Jangan lupa sebelum mengONkan Power Supply tersebut untuk

selalu “berdo’a” terlebih dahulu.

b. Kalau belum mau ON periksa sekali lagi pengkabelan daya (sumber tegangan)

yang digunakan untuk mensupply perangkat computer tersebut.

19. Menginstall Operating Sistem dan Software-Software yang Diinginkan.

1. Karena install windows XP menggunakan CD installer, maka anda harus men – setting konfigurasi BIOS agar booting pertama / defaultnya adalah melalui CD – ROM. Setelah selesai, simpan dan exit.
2. Masukkan CD installer Windows XP ke dalam CD-ROM.
3. Setelah muncul perintah “Press Any Key to boot from CD …” di layar, Tekan sembarang tombol untuk memulai. Kemudian akan muncul ini.

4. Tunggu hingga muncul pesan “Welcome to Setup” kemudian ikuti pilihan menu selanjutnya.

5. Pilihlah install Windows XP dengan menekan Enter.
6. Lalu akan ada tampilan EULA ( End User Licence Agreement ), kemudian anda tekan F8 yang artinya Anda setuju. Bilamana anda tidak setuju, cukup tekan “ESC”.

7. Lalu anda akan di berikan suatu option. Dimana untuk membagi berapa Drive yang akan di bagi. Istilah untuk ini disebut “Partition”. Seperti halnya Drive C:, Drive D:, dsb. Oke … kita pilih Enter saja.

8. Setelah dienter, Anda harus memilih format jenis apa saja. Ada beberapa pilihan yakni FAT32 dan NTFS. Tetapi saya sarankan untuk mengambil option ini “Format the partition using the NTFS file system“. Karena Windows XP memiliki perfomance yang bagus dengan jenis ini.

9. Setelah proses format, secara otomatis akan berjalan sendiri nya. Setup mengopy file yang diperlukan dari CD ke hardisk anda. Setelah selesai komputer anda akan restart.

10. Setelah restart, akan muncul “Press Any Key to boot from CD …. “. Pesan saya, “JANGAN TEKAN TOMBOL APAPUN !!! “, atau anda akan kembali ke menu awal bila anda menekan sembarang tombol.
11. Tunggu lah hingga proses loading selesai, CD-installer bekerja kembali. Disaat ini, komputer mengambil data – data yang diperlukan dari CD ke harddisk.

12. Kemudian muncul menu “Regional and Language Setting“, pilih “Customize” dan pilihlah negara dan bahasa anda. Cukup disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan anda. Kemudian pilih OK dan Next.

13. Kembali anda di beri pertanyaan, yakni nama dan organisasi. Isilah sesuai data identitas diri anda kemudian pilih Next.

14. Nah disini lah yang terpenting, yakni anda akan diminta mengisi serial number Windows XP. Bila salah satu huruf atau angka, maka installasi selanjutnya tidak akan berjalan.

15. Kemudian ada menu “Computer Name and Administrator password“. Isi dengan username dan password sesuai kebutuhan. Eit … anda harus menghafalkan bilamana anda mengisi. Bila tidak ingin mengisi username dan password, kosongin saja kemudian pilih Next.

16. Kemudian Menu “Date and Time Setting”. Isi saja sesuai lokasi dimana anda berada. Lalu pilih Next.

17. Ada pilihan lagi yakni Network setting yaitu “Workgroup or Computer Domain” Klik Next saja deh biar ga pusing – pusing. Karena ini untuk setting jaringan LAN.

18. Komputer akan restart, ditunggu saja jangan beranjak kemana – mana. ngopy2 deh …
19. Saat itu juga, Keluarkan CD installer Windows Xp anda.
20. Lalu setelah itu, komputer akan bekerja kembali secara otomatis dan akan men-setting resolusi display monitor anda secara otomatis. Tinggal Klik OK.

21. Kemudian muncul “Welcome to Microsoft Windows” dan klik Next lagi.

22. Ada menu lagi, “Help Protect your PC“, pilih “Not right now” dan Next.
23. Lalu, anda akan diminta untuk mengisi nama yang akan di gunakan di komputer anda.

24. Setelah beres, lalu akan ada pilihan Thank You , Welcome dan Windows XP anda akan terbuka untuk pertama kalinya.FINISH !

25. Kemudian, anda hanya menginstall driver – driver tambahan yang sesuai dengan komputer anda. Biasanya sudah satu paket dalam bentuk CD ketika anda membeli laptop / motherboard baru. Jadi simpan baik2 CD driver tersebut, jangan sampai hilang. Karena anda akan kerepotan bilamana CD tersebut hilang !

26. Install aplikasi2 tambahan sesuai kebutuhan juga, misal Office, Video player, Chatting, Browsing dan sebagainya.
