We have a USB reader/writer for the smart card used in
our digital camera. When connected to the computer it
shows up as another drive. Normally I can just copy the
pictures from the "new" drive to wherever I want them on
the hard drive of the computer. But I have been getting a
message that tells me that the media cannot be written to
because it's write protected and to go and remove the
write protection. I have searched high and low to figure
out how to remove the write protection, but I haven't
found it yet and am getting a little frustrated. It must
be something really simple. I want to be able to write to
the disk if I want to use it for a slide show that I
would put together of pictures from my hard drive. How
can I remove the write protection? Thanks.

Under "Computer" on my acer computer i have 2 different hard drives. One named "ACER (C: )" and the other one named "DATA (D: )" What is the difference between these 2? Also, my "ACER (C: )" is getting full and i only have about 2 GB free out of 70. When this gets full will my computer aumtomaticly start saving things on my other hard drive? My "DATA (D: ) hard drive has 70.1 Gb free out of 70.4 so theres bassicly nothing saved on here.

was a high bidder on ebay for a laptop. my winning bid was $615 and the laptop that would cost about $950 from Dell (if it were new). I am worried about it being a refurbished laptop, however. The seller says that the warranty is 1 year and in perfect condition.the problem is that I won it on ebay but i didnt realize it was a refurb. I can probably buy my way out of the deal for $25. Should i just get the laptop or try to buy my way out?

I can't get it to work. I've bought a new card but it gets no power so I thought I'd replace the slot but can't get the computer open. I took all the outside screws out. I thought maybe the port was disabled but what is it called? And, how would I take it out. It seems that there are two screws I can't get to in the middle.
