Create One Touch open close button for CD DVD drive Tray

Create One Touch open close button for CD DVD drive Tray

I have published a post about opening and closing cd/dvd drive tray with (mouse left click) one click button several months ago. I named that post as open close CD tray by mouse click on ubuntu . One of my readers ask me that s/he can not understand the method. S/he requested me to explain the process detail.

So I am writing the post. I have two optical drive attached on my machine. I will create two buttons to open or close my first CD Drive. I will create buttons on top or side menu on Ubuntu Linux Desktop system.


Open Close One Click Button for CD Drive:

• a. Right click on panel body. A drop-down or pop-up menu will open.
• b. Select Add to Panel from the list. A Add to Panel dialogue window will open.

"Add to Panel" dropdown menu.

Add launcher panel dialogue window 

• c. Click on "Custom Application Launcher to create a new launcher.
• d. Now type description and command one by one as shown on the picture below.
• I wrote Open CD Rom on Name field.
• At Command text box I wrote "eject /dev/sr0" to Eject my first optical drive that is CD Drive.
• At Comment text field I wrote Open CD Tray. Remember you can write anything on Name and Comment box. But must write perfect command on Command field.

• e. Now click on "Close" button. You will find a new launcher on panel. Click on this button. You primary drive tray will open instantly.

Now you want to close the CD Rom Tray? Here is the method. Full process is same.

• Right click on Panel.
• Select Add to Panel.
• Select "Custom Application Launcher to create a new launcher.
• Write anything on Name and Comment Field.
• But type a little different on Command field. Closing command is quite different from Opening Command.
• Write "eject -t /dev/sr0" Dont make mistake to give space on both side (front and end) of -t syntax there.

I wrote sr0 to specify my first drive. I will write sr1 for my second drive. If you have more optical drive connected on casing then mention them as sr2, sr3, sr4.... . Here is the screen-shot of those another launchers for other drive.

Open DVD drive tray one click button on Ubuntu Linux

Look at the image above. All processes are same I just changed drive name.

Close DVD drive tray one click button on Ubuntu Linux

You can change icon on clicking onto the icon (left top side) when you create a launcher. Look at the image below. Two new launcher for opening and closing cd/dvd drive tray has been created on top panel of Ubuntu Linux.

Newly created open close cd dvd drive tray button on Ubuntu Linux top panel

Now you can open and close your systems cd or dvd or blue ray drive tray with a single mouse click. No need to press front-end button manually to get access of drive tray. Put compact disc on drive tray with left hand and press close button to close tray with right hand using mouse. Still you failed to understanding something? Please do not feel hesitation to inform me as a comment.

Create USB Drive Bootable

Create USB Drive Bootable

FlashBoot is a tool to make USB disks bootable. Its primary focus is USB Flash disks, but other types of USB devices are supported as well. Making disk bootable involves formatting and copying operating system files to it. Different operating systems are supported: Windows 7/Vista, Windows XP, SysLinux-based disks, GRUB4DOS disks, Linux kernel etc. You may create blank bootable USB flash with minimal set of system files and then manually tune it for your needs, or convert a full-featured bootable CD-ROM or floppy disk to bootable USB Flash keeping all functionality. FlashBoot can either format physical disk or write an image file. So you may create customized USB disk manually or with another tool and use FlashBoot to create image out of it and redistribute it in local network or online.

Why do you might want to use bootable USB flash disks?

Unlike the most bootable medias, bootable USB Flash keys are very handy: compared to floppies, they have much bigger size, speed and reliability, compared to CD/DVD discs, they are random write access devices, so you can backup your data to the same media where you booted from, without need to reformat (reburn) the entire media. Again, the cost per gigabyte for them continues to cut down, unlike CD/DVD discs.

Bootable USB flash disks are especially useful with netbooks like ASUS Eee PC which does not have builtin CD/DVD drive or an opportunity to install one. On the other hand, buying external CD/DVD drive for netbook is not a truly wise choice because it will be shifted out of use just after Windows is installed, thanks to widespread use of DVD image files and modern hard disk capacities.

Bootable USB flash disks are useful as boot devices on the "big" desktop PCs too, unlike CD/DVD discs they do not have sensible surface you could scratch, thus more reliable (especially when holding your backup data). If your sysadmin at work restricts PC to not to have CD/DVD drives, you still can boot from USB flash disk. Or if your home PC has CD/DVD drive failed, you can do it too.

There are some mobility considerations as well. If your laptop has a bootable CD/DVD drive, you cant work with it for a long time: boot device is accessed quite often, and battery power is obviously not enough to supply laser for a long time.

With bootable USB Flash disk, you dont have to obey a CD/DVD size limit of 700 or 4700 MB. You can buy a big or a small USB disk depending on your needs. Just after boot, on every PC, you may save your files to the same boot device, or restore them back. Theres no need to reformat (reburn) the boot disk, you just copy files and folders, and theres no need for extra hardware for such operations. Of course you may do some things you cant do under your OS: copy/modify system files (they are busy when OS is running), reinstall OS, repartition your main hard disk etc.

Configure Your Hard Disk Storage Using Virtual Drive

What is Virtual Drive
Wiki explain that Virtual drives are typically read-only, being used to mount existing disk images which are not modifiable by the drive. However some software provides virtual CD/DVD drives which can produce new disk images; this type of virtual drive goes by a variety of names, including "virtual burner".

A Virtual Drive in computing is a device that to the operating system appears to be an ordinary physical disk drive, with disc images substituted for disc reading hardware through the use of software called a disk emulator. It may also be termed an electronic disk, RAM disk, emulated disk, e-disk, pseudo-drive, super drive, hyperdrive or memory disk.

Basically, Virtual Drive is not a physical drive present in your system. But it serves just like any other CD/DVD drive. When you take an image of a CD/DVD and save it on your hard disk, you can directly access that CD/DVD content by just mounting it onto virtual drive. One of the famous virtual drive is from PowerISO.

Creating a bootable USB drive when the BIOS supports only USB ZIP

Creating a bootable USB drive when the BIOS supports only USB ZIP

Mini-ITX Epia 5000-L motherboard, ready to boot.
The red USB stick is the boot medium,
1GB USB stick with a complete Debian 6 install
masquerading as a 250MB USB-ZIP drive.

My used mini-ITX motherboard has a BIOS limitation that prevents it from booting from ordinary hybrid-iso images. The BIOS doesnt recognize USB-HDD (the popular type used today), but only older USB-FDD (USB floppy drive, limited to 1.4MB) or USB-ZIP (USB Zip Drive, limited to 250MB).

Who today has useful systems that fit in 250MB?

This is a demonstration of how to use a chainloader to get around the 250MB restriction. Here is how to build a working full install of Debian 6 on a bootable USB Stick. Its a full install (not a live-install that uses a ramdisk), so all the slow read/writes to the USB stick will make the system very slow and wear out the USB stick prematurely. Again, this is just a demo of how to use a chainloader to get around that 250MB restriction.

1) Create the Linux system

This is the long and complicated part. Use debootstrap to create a complete system somewhere else. I explained how I did it in this post for an SD card, and its almost exactly the same.

Creating the complete system in, say, /var/usb-env should include creating /boot/initrd.img.version# and vmlinuz.version# , but not grub. We will use initrd.img and vmlinuz in Step #3, and this demo uses the simpler syslinux instead of grub.

2) Prepare the USB Stick

To be understood by the old BIOS, the USB stick needs an MBR up front, followed by a FAT boot partition of less than 250MB and labeled as the 4th partition (though its really the first partition). After that, we can do whatever we like.

The best tool for creating a USB-ZIP bootable partition is mkdiskimage, part of the syslinux package. Everything below should be done as root to the unmounted USB-stick:

MAKE SURE you are using the right /dev/DEVICE
 /dev/sdb was mine, but probably wont be yours!

# mkdiskimage -Mz4 -i usb-zip /dev/sdb 15 64 32
 -M and 15: Create a 15 MB partition (I only needed 12 MB)
 -z4: Create a zip-disk geometry on partition 4 (normal for zip disks)
 -i usb-zip: Name of the partition. Use any name you wish
 Of course, your /dev/DEVICENODE may vary. BE SURE you are using the right node!
 15 64 32: 15 MB (see -M), 64 heads, 32 sectors (62 and 32 are required for zip)

After the USB-ZIP partition is made, you can do the rest of the partitions in your favorite editor. I used Gparted to create a 700MB Linux partition and the remaining space on the device as a swap partition.

3) Install files onto the boot partition

The install files consist of the bootloader, and the Linux /boot/initrd.img.version# and vmlinuz.version# files. The bootloader simply tells the system to load the linux kernel (vmlinuz), then to load the temporary system startup files (initrd.img) that the kernel can understand. One of the appended command options tells initrd where to find the final system root mountpoint on the other partition.

There are many bootloaders that can be used here, including grub. For simplicity, Im using syslinux instead of grub. I dont need all of grubs configuration options - I just want the bootloader to immediately start loading the kernel and initrd.

For syslinux, we only need four files on the boot partition: The syslinux binary, syslinux.cfg, vmlinuz, and initrd.img. We also need to know the UUID of the other partitions for the syslinux.cfg file.

Once again, MAKE SURE you are using the right /dev/DEVICE
 /dev/sdb was mine, but probably wont be yours!

 Check the USB stick partitions before mounting
# fsck -f /dev/sdb1 # Blank linux, -f forces a check
# fsck -f /dev/sdb4 # Blank boot

 Get the UUIDs of the various partitions
# blikd # Get the UUIDs of the newly created partitions

 Install Syslinux 
# syslinux --install /dev/sdb4

 Mount the boot partition
# mount -t vfat /dev/sdb4 /mnt

 Copy vmlinuz and initrd.img from the prepared system.
 Rename the files to comply with MSDOS 8.3 format
# cp /var/usb-env/vmlinuz.version /mnt/vmlinuz
# cp /var/usb-env/initrd.img.version /mnt/initrd.img

 Create the syslinux.cfg file
# nano /mnt/syslinux.cfg # Use any editor you wish

##### Begin File
Default USB-Stick

display syslinux.msg
F1 syslinux.f1

prompt 40
timeout 30

Label USB-Stick
 kernel vmlinuz
 append initrd=initrd.img root=UUID=>UUID of the root partition<
##### End file

 Unount the boot partition
# umount /mnt

4) Copy the linux system onto the USB Stick

Once again, MAKE SURE you are using the right /dev/DEVICE
 /dev/sdb was mine, but probably wont be yours!

 Mount the Linux partition
# mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt

 Copy the system files
# cp -r /var/usb-env/{bin,etc,home,lib,media,mnt,opt,root,sbin,selinux,srv,tmp,usr,var} /mnt/

 Create the system mountpoints
# mkdir /mnt/{boot,dev,proc,sys}

 Edit /etc/fstab to add the correct UUIDs for the root, boot, and swap partitions
 and remove the cruft from the creating-system disks.

If you need to discover a UUID, use the blkid command.
# nano /mnt/etc/fstab # Use any editor you wish, of course

#####Begin File
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
UUID=<UUID of the main system> / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro,noatime 0 1
UUID=<UUID of the boot partition> /boot vfat defaults,errors=remount-ro,noatime 0 2 
UUID=<UUID of the swap partition> none swap sw 0 0 
#####End File

 Unmount the linux partition, check the USB stick for damage once more
# umount /mnt
# fsck -f /dev/sdb4
# fsck -f /dev/sdb1

Successful boot to Debian 6 login prompt!

5) Youre Done

Unplug the USB stick, walk over to the system you want to boot, plug in the USB stick, and....well, boot.

Create a bootable Windows 7 USB flash drive

Create a bootable Windows 7 USB flash drive

The USB flash drive has replaced the floppy disk drive as the best storage medium for transferring files, but it also has its uses as a replacement for CDs and DVDs. USB drives tend to be higher in capacity than disc media, but since they are more expensive, they cannot (yet) really be used as a replacement. There are reasons why you would, however, choose a USB device over a DVD disc, and bootable software is definitely one of them. Not only is it faster to copy data such as setup files from a USB drive, but during usage the access times are also significantly faster. Therefore, installing something like Windows 7 will work that much faster from a USB drive than from a DVD (and of course, is particularly useful for the PCs without an optical drive; this isnt something we should just leave for the pirates to enjoy).

This guide will show you two different ways to create a USB flash drive that works just like a Windows 7 DVD. In order to follow this guide, youll need a USB flash drive with at least 4GB of free space and a copy of the Windows 7 installation disc.

Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool

You are normally given this tool when you purchase from the online Microsoft Store

The easiest way to turn a USB flash drive into a bootable Windows 7 installer is by using the tool Microsoft offers, cunningly named the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download Tool. To get started, download the installer [exe] from Microsoft.com and follow the basic steps to put it onto your computer; you can put it on the computer you plan to install Windows 7 on or another one, it doesnt matter.

Once it is installed, it should create an icon on your desktop, so double-click that to open. If you cant find it, use the search function in the Start Menu with a keyword like "USB." Launching it should give you the above screen, and step one is to find the Windows 7 .ISO file. The tool only accepts .ISO images, so we recommend that you convert yours if its in a different DVD image format.

Step two is straightforward: simply choose USB device.

In step three, all you have to do is make sure that you are choosing the correct USB device. If you have other data on the device, move it to your hard drive, another USB device, or somewhere else before proceeding.

The tool will prompt you if it detects data on the device. Once your data is backed up elsewhere, click Erase USB Device.

You will get another prompt warning you that all the data will be wiped. Click Yes to continue.

The format will be very quick, while the copying of the files will take a little bit more time (about 10 to 15 minutes).

 Once the process is complete, you should get the above confirmation message. At this point you can close the tool and use the USB drive to install Windows 7. Remember that youll have to choose to boot off the USB drive. Before doing so, you may want to open up the USB drive and double click on setup.exe to see if everything looks okay. If you want to be able to do this manually, see the next section, and if you want to be able to install any edition of Windows 7, skip to the section after that.

Manual Creation

 

Maybe you dont like that Microsoft violated the GPL with the first version of the above tool (the company has since GPLed the code), or youre old-school and just love using the command prompt. Regardless of what your reasons are for creating a bootable Windows 7 USB drive manually, we have the scoop on how to do it. First, open the command prompt (if you use UAC make sure to right click it and choose "Run as administrator"), type "diskpart" without the quotes, and hit enter. You can also get here by simply typing "diskpart" without the quotes into the Start Menu and hitting enter.

Now type "list disk" without the quotes and hit enter. Take a look at the Size column and figure out which disk number your USB drive is. Ours is number 1, so were going to type "select disk 1" without the quotes and hit enter. Now were going to wipe it by typing "clean" without the quotes and hitting enter (make sure to do a backup of the contents if you havent already). 

At this point we want to prepare the USB drive for the files and make sure it is bootable. Type "create partition primary" without the quotes and hit enter. Then type "select partition 1" without the quotes and hit enter. Next type "active" without the quotes and hit enter. Finally, type "format fs=fat32" without quotes and hit enter (if you choose to use ntfs, youll later have to run the "Bootsect.exe /nt60 G:" command to put boot manager compatible files onto your USB flash drive to make it a bootable device). This one will take a while, so go grab a snack, well wait. When thats done, type "assign" without the quotes and hit enter (this will assign a new drive letter to the USB flash drive). 

An AutoPlay window like the one above will appear. Remember the drive letter (in our case it is H:), close the window, type "exit" without the quotes and hit enter. If you are working with an .ISO image, the best way to do this last part is to mount the file with a program like Virtual Clone Drive. Alternatively, you can extract the files from the .ISO image and simply copy them to the USB drive, but since weve been using the command prompt up to this point, well show you how to do the last step with it as well.

If you dont have the command prompt open, open it with administrative privileges, type "xcopy f:*.* /s/e/f hg:" without the quotes and hit enter. Note that you will likely have to replace "f:" with the drive letter for your Windows 7 DVD and "g:" with the drive letter for your USB flash drive. Dont worry if install.wim takes a while to copy: its easily the biggest file on the disc.

Bonus: install any edition of Windows 7

This is a completely optional step and you only want to do this if you want to be able to choose which edition of Windows 7 to install. In the command prompt, type "del g:sourcesei.cfg" without the quotes and hit enter (where g: is your USB flash drive).

This will make sure that your Windows 7 installer no longer has a specific version of Windows 7 set as the default, and you will be prompted to choose the version you want to install. Remember that while this gives you a more universal Windows 7 installer, you still need to make sure you are choosing the edition that you own, or you will not be able to activate Windows 7 with the key you have obtained.
