How can I keep my programming lab away from viruses?
Q. I maintain a undergraduate basic computer programming lab.

There are thirty windows PCs. No Internet connections.

Students are allowed to use USB pen drives. So spreading of virus is a common problem. But since Internet is not available, anti-virus software are not used because of the unavailability of frequent update.

Linux is not an option. This is because, we need to run windows-based software.

So what can I do to prevent the spreading of viruses?

A. Disable autorun for USB.

Microsoft also makes a product where all the computers boot from a stable known image on every reboot.

You can also put update detection for many anti-virus programs on a disk and update from that.

How to remove red hat linux and install xp.?
Q. When i install win xp cd in linux it doesnt show up and when i try it by pen drive it doesnt work.

A. You have to boot the Windows CD and the have it delete all the partitions and the tell it to format the hard drive, when it finishes partitioning the hard drive it will install Windows. You don't open the CD in Linux and tell it to install Windows. It does not work that way.

When you wish to use a flash drive when the computer is booting up, in the black screen you have to press the key that will bring up the boot menu and then choose the USB Device if it is bootable.
