I'm trying to partition an external hard drive so my old mac will recognize it. Thing is... I want to use it on both my mac and HP running windows XP. There is nothing on a mac that will partition the drive and have it compatible with windows, and I can't find anything for the latter. Any helpful advice out there?

Every time I plug a flash drive into my WORK laptop, I need to assign it a drive letter through the Disk Administrator. It doesn't require this with USB hard drives, and the same flash drives work fine on my home PCs. Any ideas?

Averatec 6100 series with a broken dvd burner, i need a substitute for the sdw-431s on any brand... the problem is that i can see hundreds of internal dvd burners on the market but none of them shows you the
back side (the connectors) so i can´t compare with mine...
thanks everyone out there...

Somebody gave me a used printer and I haven't been able to find any place to get help with getting it to work. It is connecting nicely with my PC, but the paper isn't feeding from where I think it should go. I also have a quickly flashing orange light. Does anyone know where i might be able to find a users manual? Many thanks.

if you offer AMD, why AMD is cheaper if it is faster?
if you offer Intel, then how AMD is competing with this large - famous company (and win in many cases)

I am currently in the market for a new computer. My budget is under $1000. I want something durable, that I can use w/Adobe Creative Suite. I will mostly use it for school and the internet. I know a bit about computers, but not enough. Any advice would be most welcome. Specifically I am looking for: brand recommendation, specific specs I should look for, etc.

Thank you.

For example, Dell forces the person to buy everything (mobo, cpu, graphics card, memory, etc) through their computer builder. I want to buy a computer with just the tower, mobo, and cpu installed. Is there any computer company that lets me do that? I looked into barebone systems but they don't quite have what I am looking for.

i was thinking of getting one because mp pc memory is low but before i do i need to know some things. what can i put on it? like can i install pc games to it and they will run the same way? will i have 2 desktops if i get one? can i download stuff from the internet straight to it? can i share files from it? do they need to be plugged in or does it get powered by usb? is there a chance that files can get lost while transfering from my main hard drive to the external one
i know thats a lot of questions in the one but if you know any answers to any of them i would be very happy
