Would it be possible for me to take my current slave drive, make it the master drive, install XP onto it, and then use my current master drive as slave and run programs and games from it? or would I get a bunch of error messages?

what i mean is, if i just switched the master and slave position of my current harddrives (and installed XP on my slave as new master), could i use my CURRENT master as slave and would the program's on it still run?

I'm having problems with prank callers at the moment. Looking to go to police. Is there anyone that works for T-mobile or Orange who can tell me whether all calls are recorded. I'm thinking this should help as they can trace whoever registered the phone, even though they probably used fake details. How long are the recordings kept? I'm at my whits end. Is there also a way of telling where these people are when they make the call or send texts? Please help.......

Would a - DVI male to 2 female - splitter cable be OK for 2 monitors, or would a Switch Box be better (i.e. would a splitter cable lose power)?

I have a Belkin Wireless G Plus MIMO Router (F5D9230-4 ).

My pc is connected to it via ethernet, while another laptop inside the house is connected wirelessly.

I need to control the bandwidth the laptop uses, without installing any software in THAT computer (like netlimiter).

Is there a way to accomplish that?

I am using the Linksys WRT54G wireless router.

I have a 5meg connection with Charter and the speed results are as followed with a WIRED connection through the router:
http://www.speedtest.net/result/208641671.png

However, whenever I use the wireless router I get much much slower speeds. The signal is 100% (says excellent) and this PC is 5 FEET away from the router yet the speeds are awful, as seen here:
http://www.speedtest.net/result/208642161.png

I have tried changing channels, tweaking the router security etc. but nothing seems to help. Is it just a crappy router or what? Like I said, the signal is 100% and It is still slow. My PS3 is in another room and has about 50-60% signal and gets around the same speed, How can I fix this?

I currently have an online portfolio, and have a dump folder full of pictures. Instead of making a gallery page for each picture- is there a script I could install to make viewing the original folder as a thumbnail gallery? Or have a php script that automatically makes a page for the image, and re-writes a main directory?

I'm currently using FTPgetter to syncronize my picture folder on my desktop with the picture folder in my FTP, so I don't really want to be bothered with making an actual gallery. I'm all for complete automization.

I'm an inexperienced pc builder, I actually did the build putting all the pc parts together, but my friend did all the bios work. I'm wondering what RAID is? and I was told I needed a floppy to do this with windows xp.

Also how would one over clock? I know this is a question that requires a long and detailed explanation but to anyone who would like to inform me would be greatly appreciated.

Also someone told me that I needed a power supply that supports enough rails for my mobo? here's what i'm looking at

So I have a cable line going from my wall into a 5-900 MHz 2-way cable splitter. One line goes from there to the tv and the other to my modem then to the router, we have two computers and a 360 connected to the router.

Sometimes even though my computer says its connected, I wont get any sign of connection. And occasionally when I have that problem it says I have a weak signal but not always.

Now the one thing that always fixes the problem is taking the cable line from the wall and putting it right into the modem, the internet always works then.

I have tried a variety of cables and cords and am convinced the problem is 1 of 3 things. I need to know if these sound like they make sense.

Either the cable signal is just too weak to be split one more time, even though we have like 4 or 5 other cable outlets in our house.

Or my specific splitter is just retarded.

Or the fact that the splitter and its 5-900 MHz is just not making the grade.

What do you think?
