I would desperately like to find a very dear old friend. However I don't have a credit card to use the online search services.

Seems like I have searched every forum on the net for the answer to this one and DELL tech service has not helped either.

Pc was running XP PRO. I plugged in an external USB Hard Drive and it hung up the screen. I did a reboot and now all I get is:

A Disk read error occurred
Press Ctrl+Alt+Del to restart

The external USB drive is disconnected. There is nothing in any of the CD/DVD/Disk drives. I have tried changing the BIOS to boot from CD with Windows disk in it (so I can do repair) it does not get that far.

I have tried reseting to the BIOS defaults. No difference.
I have tried running DELL's recommend BIOS HD tests - don't work
I have tried reseting the config. No difference.
I have checked the cables to the HD drive. Nothing obvious.

So my questions are:

1. Anything else I try with the BIOS/software?
2. Is this the HD or the motherboard. Which do I replace? I know the obvious thing to do is take the HD and put it in another PC. But I do not have another PC.

I know how to operate computers and programs but when buying one I am clueless. I need to get hubby a simple laptop, he is even less tech saavy than myself. He needs something simple that he can use word and acess email nothing really fancy...maybe put a DVD in that is it. So I searched on Ebay and it breaks down into

Processor Speed
Memory (RAM)
Hard Drive Capacity

what is the minium I should look for? Is getting used a good idea? I really appreciate any help and laymans terms are what works best for this blondie!!

My ftp program (WS-FTP) works fine because it remembers the password for my site. Unfortunately I don't remember it. I did write it down but I can't remember where. Anybody got any ideas? By the way you can't CNT-C on a password field!

I'm a U.S. citizen. I haven't gotten any certifications just yet, but I'm going to school for them right now. I just got an offer from a family friend, once I finish my schooling here, to work in the Philippines. She doesn't know what I want to do, but she has lots of connections and said she can get me almost any job in Manilla, the capital city. The reason I'm considering the Philippines is just because I've been there in the past and love the country and the people.
