Unstoppable Copier

Unstoppable Copier allows you to copy files from disks with problems such as bad sectors, scratches or that just give errors when reading data. The program will attempt to recover every readable piece of a file and put the pieces together. Using this method most types of files can be made useable even if some parts were not recoverable in the end.

If you've ever had a disk go bad and you've tried saving some of the contents, you've probably seen all of the error messages Windows can throw at you when you try to copy files to a new drive. Unstoppable Copier ignores the error messages and does its best to reconstruct your files with what's available, and since it runs from an .exe without installation, this is definitely a worthwhile utility to include in your system recovery toolkit. Unstoppable Copier is freeware.

VNC Reverse Connection

Setting up remote access to help friends/family members/customers can be difficult, especially when firewalls and NAT routers are involved. Just yesterday I had to connect to my uncle's computer via remote access and help him configure his emails, programs and etc... It's not easy because I had to instruct my uncle to shut off his Windows built-in firewall, his anti-virus and ZoneAlarm firewall program in order for me to connect. Secondly, my uncle uses a router, meaning I won't be able to connect to him "directly" if he didn't forward his port. Port forwarding can be quite a task for a normal user because it involves configuring the router.

The following tutorial explains how to use VNC's reverse connection to remote access easier.
