Windows will not recognize the drive, I tried to find it in disk management and I will not show up. It is powering up just fine. I believe that it may be a problem with the external hard drive being unable to transfer the info to the computer; I have tried a new USB cable and power supply as well as another computer with no luck. I am aware that I can remove the hard drive from the case and install internally, however I am looking for another alternative.Lacie is no help as I have lost the receipt. Any Ideas? Thanks

Could your pc be damaged just by overclocking or is it just extra heat generation that causes the damage?

Ok I was just wondering if it was possible to fix the glass on the scanner because :( I broke and if it was would it be better to fix it or get a new printer.

I have a Toshiba Equium M70-339, it is only a couple of months old.
I have to remove the battery and use the power pack to use the laptop. Has any one else had a similar problem?
I suppose I'm going to make a trip back to PC World for a replacement!!!

Compaq Presario V6030 AMD Turion 64 X 2 Dual Core TL-50
Dell Inspiron 6400 Dual Core T 2050 with 1.60GHZ 533MHZ FSB

Toshiba Satellite A100-SK8 15.4" Intel Centrino Duo T2400 1.83GHz Laptop

These are the 3 laptops I am looking at buying, Dell looks good, but can I get service for it in Asia?

Toshiba looks good to, but I don't know if they service in the Philippines, I know it is not the best place for service, unless you are in Manila.

As for Compaq, I know it is owned by HP, but again how reliable is it in the Philippines. Too many options on laptops, so I would appreciate anyone who has owned one of the above laptops, and their experience with the service departments, also which one is most solid, I know Dell had to recall batteries made by Sony. Also, is there anyway to find out my FSB speed, I have tried without any luck, also AMD seems to have a high FSB speed, how important is it in regards to total operating.

I want to buy a Dell notebook and I wanted to finance this using a Dell credit card. I applied for one on the website yesterday and was told that there had been an error and that I should try again later, use a different payment method, or contact a representative. I decided to try again later. I tried today and got the same "error" message.

Have I been rejected for the card and they're just trying to be polite in some way or is it really, truly an error?

I wasn't sure what number to call for Dell to ask them, so I thought maybe someone else would know. I just checked my credit report from Equifax and I have no black marks. I always make payments by the deadlines on cards I do have so as far as I know, I have good credit. The only thing that might negatively affect the application is that I am a 19 year old student (but I don't have any educational loans).

I use Firefox so I'm not sure if that would have anything to do with it if it is an actual error, but I don't trust IE...

Can anyone tell me how much power the internal parts of a computer use. For example, a case fan might use 5 watts, a hard drive may use 20, etc. I read an article before that listed EVERY single internal computer part and approximately how much power they all used in watts. and I cant seem to find anything on the net that might be something like that.

I am trying to play a Doom 3 game and wanted to be sure my computer meets all the requirements, because the game keeps shutting down. I am sure of all of them except a hardware accelerator card and the video card type.
Also; I am running Windows XP on a fairly new Dell desktop. THX

This would be our first home printer. Not planning to do photographs; mainly documents. So color is not a must (not that we definitely dont want color). Cost per page and cartridge refillability and new cartridge cost would also need to be considered. Thanks :-)

My computer came with an integrated Nvidia GeForce 6150, but the sales rep at the store I bought it at told me that basically all integrated graphics cards suck. Therefor, I took an ATI Radeon 9200 PCI card out of another computer and threw it in my new one. Was this a good choice, or was the Nvidia better quality?
