My Sony Vaio Laptop had crashed recently. When I tried to recover I could not as one the recover CDs got corrupt. I somehow recovered my C: by formatting using another Windows Installer.
I see that my harddrive which is 60GB is still 53GB which I think means that recovery kit is still installed. Is there anyway I can rip the recovery CDs again and rebuild the whole PC.

Assuming that they both have, say, 2.0Ghz speed.

Are there really two processors in intel core duo that would make it much faster and efficient?

Sorry about having to ask twice but there doesn't seem to be a way to reply to remarks to my question, like "Install it" Whoever that was didn't bother to say how or why when I downloaded it, it wasn't installed automatically. So if I have a reply to someones answer I will just repost my question.

I have a Dell PE 2550 w/PERC 3-DI RAID controller with a couple of SCSI drives being mirrored containing both the System info and company data on the mirrored Volume. I purchased a couple of 73gig drives that I'd like to put in to replace my originals and be able to expand the volume to take advantage of the extra space since our current 20 gig volume only has around a gig of space left. What is the best practice for doing this without an Acronis server application (which thru my research doesn't always work well with DELL systems), so that I can do this with the least amount of down time. My current plan of action is to make a couple of tape backups then switch out drives create the new array volume. Reinstall windows and restore from tape. Is this correct do I have to patch b4 reinstalling from tape? Will all my Apps. and data be placed back exactly to where they were? Any ideas that can make this process as painless as possible will be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Roland.

Is there a setting in Windows XP where I can ask it to "lock computer" automatically when I close the lid of the laptop ?
I have a Dell Latitude D610 which comes with 'Dell Quickset' software. This software gives option for 'standby', 'hibernate' or 'do nothing' when I close the lid. I cant find an option for locking the session anywhere.

for n=1
poly=polyfit(x,y,n)
z=polyval(poly,x)
e=x-z
norm=max(e)
if norm>0.00005
n=n+1
end
end

all i want to happen is that after n=1 gets calculated, if norm>0.00005 to do n=n+1=2 and keep going until norm<0.00005.

note: x and y have been defined previously (not shown).

Repair man changed our hard drive for one half the size, would this make a difference to the connection or running speed of the computer?
My son has played Quake 3 for ages but now he says that because the computer is running so slow he's unable to play it anymore and all this has occurred since the smaller hard drive was installed.

Ive tried importing the .dbx files files with no luck.

My Email programme asked me yesterday if I wanted to free up some some space by compacting my emails and I thought it was a great Idea so I did so and this was the last thing before I switched off.
So I come back this morning and most if not all my emails are gone.
Will Mr Gates tell me how to get my emails back or some Computer Expert.
What's the use in this Microsft Email Programme when it can work to your great disadvantage like this.
