What would the correct percentage of drive be for OS?

Would a 2nd hard drive used only for the OS serve the same purpose?

Using older programs on current WIndows XP. I will replace my PC soon. Should new PC have FAT32 or NTFS? Or does it matter? I will be upgrading some programs and keeping some older ones.

I have a toshiba satellite laptop. I have it for A/C adapter socket replacement. Since i got it back, i cannot run it in normal mode. It freezes in 5 min. I have to run it in safe mode. My service provider told me to run destructive recovery on the laptop. I have no idea how to do that, or whether its the correct solution. I have ran the standard recovery disk N number of times. No change.

Say i upgrade my computer. I would very much like to buy SATA hard drive since it's much faster than ATA hard drive, graphic card, i have no problem with that, my processor is fine, "people" say, but the real problem is the RAM. I just don't get familiar with DIMM, DDR, and all sorts of things and i don't know how to upgrade my RAM. My RAM is about 256MB and i don't know any information about the RAM. How can i investigate my RAM?

I'm looking at a friends computer right now (trying to fix it), because something is wrong with it. You power it on, nothing is displayed on the monitor. So I placed in a PCI video card, still nothing. The video card is fine. It's from my computer and I'm using it right now to use my computer.

So I took out the RAM, booted up the computer and it did not start making long beeping noises. So I thought the motherboard is bad.

I told him what I thought the problem was, and then told him how to order a new motherboard. It also came with new power supply.

After the new motherboard arrived, I placed it in the computer, along with the new power supply, and booted it up. Still, nothing was displayed on the screen. I took out the RAM and it started beeping at me. I knew the board must not be bad. So I place the RAM back in, and place the same PCI videocard back in the PC. Still nothing.

Could the CPU be bad, or have I over looked something here?

HELP ME!

I have only had my NEW Dell Dimension 5100C for about a year or so and I love it. But today it went kah-put on me.

After getting my OLD dell computer up and running, disabling norton (per a tech support friend of mine's advice), and connecting both computers (old & new dells) to my super-old Microsoft router, I suddenly cannot power up my NEW dell!!! I press the power button and nothing happens at all.

And please don't be a wise guy/gal and ask if it is plugged in (DUH, it is)! I completely unhooked everything going into it except for the power cord & monitor cable.

How can I figure out why it won't power up? Will I lose my data? Did it get a virus from my old dell, which was acting strangely (explorer was crashing all of the time so I reinstalled my operating system, XP HOME).

Any help will be greatly appreciated!

My computer turns off randomly like to a black screen. I have an asus a8n 32 sli deluce motherboard in a antec p180 case with one intake fan two exhaust fans and one fan cooling the powersupply. I dont think it is a heat issue. the computer remains on from 2- 12hours before turning off. When it does turn off I can turn it right back on and it continues to work for several more hours. Email me any ideas as to why this happens or if you need more information. Thanks so much,
Will
