You are not a Nigerian? JAMB is the only examination body that conduct examination into higher institution in Nigeria, which means that if you want to attend any higher institution in Nigeria you will have to pass through JAMB(JOINT ADMISSION AND MATRICULATION BOARD) examination. There is this new system of biometric scanner(fingerprint) that was introduced in this year online registration & if you don't have a scanner you can't register! About the CD how do you think i can copy the content please 'cos anytime i get to that particular folder i want to copy the system just keep hanging until the CD is ejected from the drive. Help.

which OS are you using and also do you remember which section you saved your files .i.e music, pictures video, my documents and the public folders
Re: Post Your Computer (PC) Troubles Here. by samolina1(m): 5:24pm On Jan 08, 2011
@Julius open My Computer, open your hard drive & type in documents & settings\ at the url field and hit enter this should show all the users on your computer, you can then explore all the folder of all the users account for your folder! If you are using a partitioned drive or you use more than one drive on your computer, you will have to identify the one you are using! NB: don't change any letter you meet at the url, just add the one you are typing!
