LapTop: F8 gets me into a Screen where "Safe Mode", "Last Good Configuration .." choices are present, but when clicked, I get a blanc screen.
Windows Logo appears, then the message: "Windows is preparing to start...."
Then again a I get a blanc screen.
I did hook up this HD to another PC and I can access most of it except for Desktop\Documents and Settings\Folders... (Access Denied) - because I've set a User Password when Loging in Windows XP. Is there anyway around that?

Is there any software to be Installed on the second computer and Check, Recover, Fix Registry on my Laptop (hooked up HD)?

I have made a bootable CD and Downloaded Knoppix.Iso on it, then I get the image of my Desktop in Linux, but just in a Read-only mode.
How do I copy those Folders from the HD\Desktop\Documents and Settings?

I have an old e-machine that I've been using for word processing. It worked fine up until recently.
One day I turned it on and the machine was running but nothing appeared on the moniter. I tried hooking it up to three different moniters and I assumed the memory was shot. I left it alone for a week in my closet and I decided to try running it one more time and it worked.
After that it worked fine for about two weeks and now it is doing the same thing. I don't know whats wrong with my computer.

My Thinkpad 41 goes to sleep when I close the lid. Then most mornings I put it back in the docking station and open the lid and it awakens - I enter ctl-alt-delete and enter password and a new day begins. But about 10-20% of the time the thing doesn't awaken and I have to fiddle with the on-off button to get it to awaken from its suspended mode. And if I hold the on-off a little too long it goes from just completely off to off off which is not great for disk integrity or unsaved data etc. Anyone with insight on T41 suspend mode and its awakening??

What company did you buy your computer from and what was your experience with them?

I can't figure out why, but every day it seem to be about 3 minutes off. I have to go into the clock and move the time forward. It will be accurate for the rest of the day. When I power back up the following day, the time will be behind. Any suggestions on fixing this?

By the way, the laptop is about 4 1/2 years old and is a company owned laptop, so I'm stuck with the thing until they do a technology refresh in the fall.

If someone were to disect a hard drive and take the disks out, could you use a zip drive or somthing similar to read and use them as you would a cd or dvd? merely a question of curiosity.

I already have a relatively new high performance notebook. It has a 17" screen, 1gb of memory, 80gb hard drive, 3.2 P4 processor w/HT. I am happy with it but the battery recently gave out.

Rather than fork over $150 for a new one, I thought I would just buy a new cheapie notebook which would be smaller, cooler, and easier to transport to and from classes/library/etc (college student).

If all I want to do is take notes in class, write papers, do some spreadsheeting and some basic software like that (and use my other notebook for everything else), and of course web browsing all while on the go, do you think an AMD Sempron 2.0 ghz and 256 memory is enough or do you suggest getting 512 of memory and/or a different processor?

I don't really care about updating to Windows Vista on this machine when it comes out.

Thanks for your input.
