OSI Model

OSI Model

time certification that can help you to get a job in the exciting IT (Internet Technology) field.  One of the first areas of study is the seven layer OSI Model.  The better you understand the OSI Model the better you will understand computer networking.  I would strongly suggest that you get very familiar with this model, the associated protocols, functions, equipment, and PDU’s at each layer.

PDUs (protocol data units)

PDUs are data packets associated with each level of the OSI Model.  Layer 1 the Physical layer the PDU is called a Bit.  Layer 2 the Data Link layer the PDU is called a Frame.  Layer 3 the Network layer the PDU is called a Packet.  Layer 4 the transport layer the PDU is called a Segment.  Above layer 4 the PDU is called Data.

The study of  Computer Network Training and Computer Repair Training can lead to some very rewarding careers.  But remember the OSI Model is the key to understanding how networks function.

FIXMRB – Recovery Console Command

FIXMBR is a Windows XP Recovery Console command.  This command is used to repair or correct a corrupted or infected MBR.  The MBR is the master boot record which is the first sector on a hard drive.  Since it is the first sector read it is prone to virus infections.  Also if it becomes corrupted it prevents access to your hard drive and your operating system.  Therefore a tool in the Windows XP Recovery Console has been provided to quickly fix the MBR.  You can also use FDisk MBR which accomplishes the same thing in DOS.  There is an article explaining Fdisk MBR in more detail at Fdsik MBR.   Also another article that takes about FIXMBR in more detail at FIXMBR.  The Recovery Console also has many other DOS like commands that can be used to help maintain and repair other files and folders on your hard drive.  Many of the commands that can be accessed, such as, copy, del, rd, md, chkdsk, fixmbr, and many others, can be very helpful to keep Windows running efficiently.
