Computers & Internet - 21 September 2006

Ok heres my dilemma. I bought a computer almost 3 years ago. It had a 120 gig hard drive. I installed a 160gig as storage. Now, I want to take out the 120 gig one and replace it with a 200 gig. Heres the problem, I never recieved any motherboard cd, or anything else. So, If I take out my original, leaving the storage one alone, and put a new one in as primary, will I only need the windows xp cd? Or, do I need drivers, and cds? ( I have a sony rscv 420 for refrence) And another question, When I installed my 160 gig, I had to add drivers or something to my original. So does the storage hard drive need to be formatted before I add drivers?

Also, this is going to sound weird. I have about 60 gigs of things I need to put onto my 200 which will be new primary, but I have to take out the storage one and install the current primary, take all the information off, format it, then put the 160 back in. ( I only have 30 gigs left on my 160.) So yeah, is it safe to do this?

Here's the thing, when i use Morpheus, i get Henbang and i have gotten TrustIn Bar, both of which are seriously bad. I use Limewire, and it at least warns me that i file may be corrupted, and these problems didn't start at all or become very serious until download Morpheus. When using limewire the only time i got a virus, was when i was dumb enough to download a corrupted file, but it was fixable with Earthlink Protection Control Center, but i use Morpheus and i wasn't able to get rid of the TrustInBar. So do you think i should stick with Limewire. I get Adware just using Morpheus, but at most i usually just get spyware cookies when using limewire. In less than a week, i had serious problems, but over a few months, at most i got deleteable viruses and cookies. I couldn't even uninstall the TrustIn Bar.

Since we got the recalled battery and put it in last week, the laptop fades in and out, this was not going on with the old one. Also the computer seems to be getting hotter. Anyone had problems with the recall replacement batteries?
