I have an old 40 gig hard drive that I'm taking out of an otherwise useless computer. Do I need to reformat if I want to use it for back up storage, as an external device on my new computer? Any other suggestions?

Assuming other specs are the same and prices about the same, which would you prefer:

a) HP AMD 64 bit Sempron processor (Sempron 3200+ (64 bit)
b) Dell Intel Pentium D 915 with Dual Core Processor (2.8 GHz, 800 MHz FSB, 2 x 2 MB L2 cache)

My friend just needs a basic PC to surf the internet, use Word, Excel. The PC should last for a few years hopefully.

Thank you. Please provide a brief reason why you prefer HP or Dell.

I bought a Maxtor HD 18 months ago and it set on fire within 6 weeks.
I sent it back to Maxtor in Irleland, and sent me back a refurbished HD.
This lasted 8 months then Started clicking then would not read.
Sent that back and another HD was sent to me Refurbished.
And yet again the 3rd one has just started playing up on me.

It costs £6.00 each time to send these back under warrenty.
All my other HD are Seagate and never had any problems.

My other computer has 2 Maxtor HD and no problems, But not SATA is the SATA Maxtor HD BAD or ALL the same?

Let me know if you have had any problems with MAXTOR HD's
And is there anything i can do to claim all my money back?
