I want to write a few guides for LTT, but I don't have a lot of spare time. I would like to make full guides with pictures.
I will eventually do all of these, but I was wondering what you'd like to see first.

Options-
1. How to migrate a windows licence from one computer to another. This will include finding they key, and deactivating the old copy. Really useful, especially for major hardware upgrades or replacement pcs, or if you just want a fresh install on an OEM machine which you don't have the key for.

2. How to use run a virtual mahcine of an OS on a hard disk. IE Run your windows partition from linux or the opposite. Similar to Parallels for Mac, but with the freeware virtualbox. Great for those wanting to try linux, but still would like to have seamless access to their windows installation.

3. How to crack or strip almost any Bios password on laptops. A lot of laptops still keep the Bios password even after removing the CMOS battery. There are other methods less commonly known. I own several laptops I could use as an example.

4. Getting crossfire to preform right. (Just a few tips)

5. Get asked for help fixing crap and junk all of the time? Want to be ready for computer problems anywhere? An easy guide for making USB repair tools for the keychain. Includes debugging, password stripping, windows install discs, and the obvious stuff like malicious software removal and a live boot linux distro, ect. Always be ready! Every good IT guy has his own USB rescue key, and so should you.

Edit- I'm certainly doing #1 this weekend. #5 will take longer, but will be the next after #1

EDIT
#1 is up!

Are you going to post it here or ???

Let us know because I want to follow this topic

I will post it in guide and tutorials where I posted the other, but I will reply here when I finish it. Not been having a good few months, and my time is not the freest, that's why i made this topic. #5 will take a lot more preparation as there's a lot I want to cover, but I will finish it as soon as I can.
