All other things being equal(ish), does a higher hard drive capacity generally mean increased power consumption?

I'm looking at Hitachi notebook drives and want to maximize battery life. Does anyone have any power consumption information regarding the Hitachi 5K160 vs 5K250? Which drive (the 160GB or the 250GB) will give me the best battery life?

my old OS crashed and as I was trying to repair it.. I installed windows and gave it a folder of "windows2" now I would like to reverse the installation and recover my old OS. Is this even possible? All the files should still be there becasue I didnt format the hard drive before installing the second instance of windows. I can see the old folders ( or some of them) but I cant see them all..like picture folders, music folders etc I was able to retrive some of those files with the new OS but I cant seem to access all files of the old OS..how do I go about getting my old OS and data back? or even just the data..and no, like an idiot I didnt back up my hard drive.. a hard lesson learned..
Thanks for any help in advanced

Hi, I have a router with a built in SPI firewall and also use a software firewall. Most of the programs I use on the Internet open ports locally, but my firewall(s) keep these ports closed to the Internet.

However when I run PPStream (which is a program that streams video via P2P) it opens a port and this port is open locally and to the Internet as well.

With this port open to the Internet will hackers be able to get on my computer even though I am using the open port?

If I turn SPI mode on will that stop hackers from using the open port?

I could really do with the whole Internet securith thing explained in laymans terms so as I know whether to worry or not, and if anyone knows of a website or book that does this it would be much appreciated.



Thanks In Advance

Alright, I think a hacker hacked into my laptop.. o.o

3 months ago, I was using my toshiba laptop one day and I was a download-junkie. Downloading random stuff for either, music or security. Anyways, the problem is that..
The last thing I remember is, I downloaded Internet Explorer 7, and I use Windows XP, anyways.. after that, there's this error from "Mcafee Anti-Virus" program that I downloaded saying, "Located Nod32 virus" or something like that, anyways.. when i wanted to scan my computer with mcafee, i think my trial ended. So, i downloaded another anti-virus program (Forgot what it was) and scanned my computer.. and there were alot of stuff but i don't think it was viruses.. it said files like "boot.xfl" or "startup" something like that. I mean alot.. after it finished scanning, IT DELETED ALL MY FILES AUTOMATICALLY and I think that my laptop Shut down and when i open it back up.. it just asks for a username & pw. my LAPTOP ISN'T SET LIKE THAT.

Whats the problem?!
