I bought an external hard drive enclosure (for a normal hard drive) to make it an external USB hard drive. It was not getting recognized on my computer and it would not let me reformat it when i went through the disk manager (it said something about the partition not being enabled, but according to the properties it was enabled and i could not create a new partition). I tried doing all this on my sisters computer (a dell laptop) and it worked fine! i was able to reformat it too. after reformatting the drive i am still having the exact same problems on my sony laptop. What is the problem? different version of windows? oh ya, i tried the drivers from windows as well as the drivers included on the disc that came w/ the enclosure. no dice. its gotta be something w/ my computer. where do i start?

Every time the light on my CD/DVD writer drive lights up, any audio playing on my computer cuts out for a moment. This makes playing an audio CD in the computer impossible to tolerate.

The drive is also running very slow when copying data to the computer from a disk or when writing one - it takes little rhythmic "breaks" from whatever it's doing about one second long about every second while operating operating. This makes any task take twice as long as it usually would, and it also makes the rest of the computer run slowly.

Is this a software problem, a hardware problem, or is it caused by another part of my computer, like the power unit?

I know the new flat screen TV's can also be used with a computer, but can they split the screen so you can watch tv and use your computer at the same time?

Ok, I have a five year old Toshiba Satellite laptop, and I'd like to reinstall Win 98 on it. I did a complete reformat on the c drive (It was REALLY a mess), and have a boot disk and Windows 98. Here's the problem: I use the boot disk to get it up and running, and I see that drivers are being installed, including one for the cd drive. I search for the CD drive, and it's nowhere to be found. How can I find it? I've gone through the entire alphabet, and I have A, B, C and R (no idea, it's not the CD drive, I know that). What can I do to get it up and running? Is there a different boot disk I need? This one is for Win98 SE, which matches what I have. Any suggestions?

I just got a new laptop. I need to transfer all the files (MP3, pics, word docs) from my old laptop to my new laptop. I have an external hardrive available if I need it. How EXACTALLY do I get the files from one hard drive to another? I've heard people say you can transfer files from one computer to another, I just don't quite understand how you connect A to B to get the info from A to B...if you get what I mean. Help!

I just fried my emachine's motherboard and I'm looking to upgrade. I figure there is no reason to replace it for a $100 when I can get an upgrade for $200+ that will last me for a few years. Any suggestions on good motherboards? I am looking for the lastest ones. Do I have to upgrade to another emachine motherboard? Will my emachine restore disk install Windows XP?

I am trying to install windows xp on a brand new hard drive I just had installed.
I installed it last night but it took over 12 hours before it was done and it still did not work this morning when I tried it.
I am in the process now of trying to reinstall it. So far it has taken 3 hours and it is still installing the program.
Is there something with the cd maybe? Or is there something else I should do before or after I install the software to get it working?

Also what is the normal time it takes to install windows xp on a brand new hard drive?

I also have a new motherboard and processor just put on as well. Not sure if that makes a difference.

I have nothing as of yet. Here is what I want that I cant seem to find. I need a medium size case that has 4 usb in the front, capible of 3-6 hard drives, 2 - 4 dvd drive slots, (dont need a drive), big enough to handle at least a 600watt psu, and have at least 7 epansion slots. Then, I need a motherboard that will work in that case that is, socket 775 and able to handle p4 3.6 - Pentium d, 2 pci-e slots, 4 PCI slots, 184 - 240 pin ram x 4 - 6, hard drive hookup doesnt matter, ill adjust accordingly...and thats about it. And the case doesnt have to be fancy, preferably partially see through, but no biggie. Ive been looking for 4 hours and I cant find anything I want. I found a case, but all the motherboards that were compatible werent compatible with what I want.
