Windows installation and RAID

Posted by Devang Gandhi on August 15th, 2008

I was trying to install windows vista via network boot the other day. However the installation could not find the hard disk. The error was that some of the drivers were missing. After a lot of poking around I tried to disable RAID from the bios setup and that did the trick. So remember to try turning RAID off, if you are having problems with windows installation.

How to change “Blogroll” to “Links” in Wordpress

Posted by Devang Gandhi on April 26th, 2008

I don’t like the term “Blogroll” for my links in wordpress. I would rather call it “Links”.

To change the name of the category “Blogroll” in the wordpress admin, go to Blogroll -> Categories and click Edit for the Blogroll category. In the next screen you can change the name and the slug from Blogroll to whatever name you like.

P.S. I have done this on Wordpress 2.3.2
