Let My Documents remain mine!

I'm not the only one who is sick and tired of having his My Documents folder piled full of shit without permission. I implore all developers, please figure out a standard. Windows 7 isn't going to make anything better either.

Transfer your VM to your HDD

So you've tested out a nice customised OS in a VM. You've played around with it loads and modified it to suit your needs. Your satisfied enough to want to use as your main OS, but now you have to burn it to a disk, reinstall it to your physical HDD and re-customise it.

Wrong!

Download clonezilla iso (its useful for more that just this, very handy to have around).
Mount the iso into your VM.
Boot to the iso.
Clone the drive to an external disk (or whatever).
Boot clonezilla from your physical bios, and copy the cloned HDD image onto your physical HDD.
If you're using Windows 7 you might need to run a repair to fix the MBR being hashed incorrectly.

Desperation Drivers Guide

Ive found an interesting and fruitful way of getting obscure drivers. Since I installed XP64 on my Toshiba, I've been finding it hard tracking down some drivers for it.

For the few drivers that eluded my search, I devised a simple solution.

Go into the device manager.
Right click on an unknown device.
Open the properties
Switch to the details tab
Open the panel to show the hardware ID
Copy and paste the ID's into Google along with your OS version.
Profit!!!

Most of the search results got me inside the INI file for the device drivers, from there you can try to move from different levels and find the drivers.

After you've downloaded and installed the drivers do a driver update just in case.
Note: Some devices had to be disabled then re-enabled before they would work.
