This is an interesting one!!!

This is for those who watch movies on their computer's dvd rom drive!!!
There is a software called dvd idle pro which can really increase the life of your dvd drive. By using the Smart Read-ahead Cache,
DVDIdle saves DVD data which will be played soon onto the hard disk cache or RAM cache, and
then feeds it to DVD player.
This allows the DVD drive to rest.

a 6X-speed DVD drive will only work for 15 minutes when you are watching a 90 minutes DVD
movie.

"The Disk is Write-Protected” Problem (Memory card)

Posted by Latest Computer Tips and Tricks On 0 comments
Recently when I tried to copy some files to my mmc using card reader it showed me some error saying the disk is write-protected. Remove the write protection or use another disk.
It was working fine before. I have used this card many times before but it never gave any error and suddenly it started showing this error. After going through some forums I came to know that it happens because of write protection notch but there was no such notch or switch on my card.I kept on searching on more forums and after some time I found one solution to this problem. Follow the steps given below if you are also facing the same problem.



  1. Run Registry Editor (regedit).
  2. Navigate to the following registry key:HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
  3. Right click on control and create new key.
  4. Name it as StorageDevicePolicies . (Copy and paste it from here if possible)
  5. Now click on StorageDevicePolicies and in right side pan right click and select create new dword and name it as WriteProtect.
