Welcome Competition!  A nice guy named Martin Kratz wrote a utility to compete with my UnCHK program. Amazingly, he sent me the source code. So... I compiled it and am offering it here for your consideration. Now you have two open-source CHK file recovery programs to choose from!

Both programs need the Visual Basic 5 runtime files, which come pre-installed on Windows 2000 and newer. If you don't have them, you can get them from Microsoft or Ziff-Davis. I'll do a side-by-side comparison:
 

	UnCHK (Eric Phelps)	FileCHK (Martin Kratz)
Out-of-box supported file types	JPG PSP PSD GIF ZIP CAB EXE DLL OCX WRI BMP DOC PPT XLS PDF RTF HTM WAV MID AVI RAR TIF MP3 WPD FPX EPS CLP	3DS TIF EXE BMP SWF PSD AI GIF PST CAB RAR CHM MID PDF ZIP HLP MP3 DWG MPG LNK URL HTM JPG TTF MDB MOV QT DOC XLS RMI WAV AVI CDR TXT ASF
Can add more file types?	Yes, just drag a good file and drop it on the program (only applies if that file type has a standard header).	No.
Alters CHK files?	No. Makes a copy of the CHK file and gives the copy the correct extension.	Yes. Renames the original CHK file so it has the correct extension.
Recovers any CHK file?	Yes. Anything with a CHK file extension is checked. This makes things more flexible.	No. Only acts on files named like "FILE####.CHK". This makes things safer in case there are legitimate files with CHK extensions.
Identifies files by file header?	Yes. Also looks inside some files in an inexact way to try to discriminate between different types of files that share the same header.	Yes. Also reads inside the file in a more exact way to tell different files that use the same header apart.
Looks inside CHK files to recover cross-linked files?	Yes (if you choose the "hard disk" option).	No.
Looks inside CHK files to recover embedded items?	Yes (if you choose the "embedded files" option).	No.
Runs fast?	Fast enough. And it has a percentage done indicator so you'll know whether you have time for lunch.	Yes. You won't believe it.
Has cool graphical interface?	Cool? Well... It has an interface.	No. No way. None at all. Except for the "Done" message when it finishes.
Stable?	It works for me.	Always. It's too simple to break.
Selectable directory?	Yes. You pick what directory CHK files are in and what directory you want recovered files to be in. The program itself can be anywhere.	No. Put the program in the same directory as your CHK files and run it.
False negative or false positive recoveries?	About a quarter the files it recovers are either mis-named duplicates (which can't be opened) or fragments (which you might not be able to open). But it allows you to choose scan depth options so you can decide how to trade off missed files and false detections.	Might not recover a file fragment and never recovers a cross-linked file, but the files it does recover can more likely be opened without errors.

The UnCHK program link above (at the top of the comparison table) is for version 3. Version 3 was built for Windows 2000, but might work on computers as old as Windows 95. Version 2 was built for Windows 95, but might work on computers as new as NT4. Version 1 was built for Windows 3.1 and might work on computers as new as NT4. I recommend you use the newest version that applies, because the older versions really needed the fixes and features that are in later versions!

Extract msvbvm50.dll to a location on your computer. We recommend you to unzip it to the directory of the program that is requesting msvbvm50.dll.
If that doesn't work, you will have to extract msvbvm50.dll to your system directory. By default, this is:

• C:\Windows\System (Windows 95/98/Me)
• C:\WINNT\System32 (Windows NT/2000)
• C:\Windows\System32 (Windows XP, Vista, 7)

If you use a 64-bit version of Windows, you should also place msvbvm50.dll in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\
Make sure overwrite any existing files (but make a backup copy of the original file).
Reboot your computer.
If the problem still occurs, try the following:

1. Open Windows Start menu and select "Run...".
2. Type CMD and press Enter (or if you use Windows ME, type COMMAND)).
3. Type regsvr32 msvbvm50.dll and press Enter.

t is relatively easy to configure Samba on Ubuntu 9.04 using command-line tools and by editing the /etc/samba/smb.conf file. However, if you want a more graphical interface, it’s quite simple to install SWAT, the Samba Web Administration Tool, which lets you configure Samba via your web browser.
Here’s how to do it.
First, install Samba. (If you don’t know how to install Samba, you can use my handy guide.) Unless you already have Samba installed, there’s obviously no point in installing the Samba Web Administration Tool.
Once you have Samba installed, you’ll need to pick an account that is a member of the local admin group, since you’ll need an account with admin-level permissions to use all of SWAT’s functions (otherwise you’ll only see status pages, and will be unable to change any settings.) Make sure the admin group has permission to the /etc/samba/smb.conf file with these commands:
sudo chmod g+w /etc/samba/smb.conf
sudo chgrp adm /etc/samba/smb.conf
Next, install both SWAT, and the inetd Internet superserver, which is required for SWAT to run properly:
sudo apt-get install swat xinetd
This will install both SWAT and the inetd superserver, and their dependencies. Once the installation has finished, you’ll need to create a file in the /etc/xinetd.d directory:
sudo gedit /etc/xinetd.d/swat
(Obviously you can use vi or emacs or the text editor of your choice.)
Once you’re in the swat file, add this text:
# default: off
# description: SWAT is the Samba Web Admin Tool. Use swat \
# to configure your Samba server. To use SWAT, \
# connect to port 901 with your favorite web browser.
service swat
{
port = 901
socket_type = stream
wait = no
# Use only_from if you want to restrict access
# only_from = localhost
user = root
server = /usr/sbin/swat
log_on_failure += USERID
disable = no
}
Save the file, edit your text editor, and restart the inetd server:
sudo /etc/init.d/xinetd restart
Then fire up a web browser and navigate here:
http://localhost:901
Enter a username and a password from the admin group, and you’ll have access to SWAT. Note that SWAT also includes all of Samba’s man pages in easily-read web page format

Untuk membuat installer windows XP, ada beberapa tools software yang harus di siapkan :
Software Pedukung :
1. Resource Hacker ato sejenisnya mungkin ada yang punya lebih bagus bisa di share
2. Windows Unattended CD Creator
3. Editing picture (Tergantung Favorit Kamu), untuk edit gambar-gambar yang dikira perlu
Penjelasan Software Pendukung :
1. Resource Hacker adalah program yang sangat baik sekali dan sudah menjadi teman setiaku dalam melakukan editing isi
tampilan beberapa program yang sudah menjadi exe, dll, ocx, cpl, scr.
- Buka file yang akan di edit menggunakan program Resource Hacker, misal winnt32u.dll.
- Setelah file dibuka, edit sesuai keinginan kamu.
- Jangan lupa untuk klik tombol Compile Script untuk melakukan perubahan.
- Supaya perubahan tersimpan pada file winnt32u.dll jangan lupa di simpan (save).
Contoh tampilan :

15. Kemudian klik tabs Done, kemudian klik tombol Save (untuk lebih detailnya lihat Videonya)
16. Kemudian klik tombol create ISO-image untuk memulai membuat file ISO (untuk dibakar di CD)
