i am buiding(well sort of repairing) a amd(socket a) mobo,256mb ram,40gb hdd,ect and i have a damaged psu
could i replace the faulty psu(180 watts)for the replacement (200watts)
the replacement psu is out of a compaq deskpro 233mhz pentium 2 and i want to put it into the socket a mobo,is it safe,as its 20watts over and what will happen if it isnt compatible,will it just not boot?
i have other psu,s but they are the old type with 2 identical clips,theyre crap
also can you test a mobo with a voltage meter or something similar to see if it is functioning ok,or is there a tool you can buy for such a job

Ok, this will sound really stupid. I feel as though I'm the last person on earth to have gotten one (actually, I haven't gotten one yet, but I will be!) Could people tell me what I need (e.g. cables or software ?) in order to download music into my (soon-will-be-getting) iPod? (I'm thinking of getting an iPod Nano 2GB. Thanks a bunch! ^_^

Everytime I try to access any disk on my floppy drive I get the same message. "A:\ is not accessible, No ID address mark was found on the floppy disk." Right clicking gives me the same message also, in fact anything that I do that concerns this drive gives me the same message as above.

Can someone help?
