confusing and complicated. If computer speeds today had continued to be rated in the simple, linear fashion that they were in the 1990's, about how fast would today's computers be in ghz? Computer clock speeds stopped increasing a few years ago and stopped at around 3.6ghz. Would today's computers (rated this way) be 8, 9 10ghz, or more?

I just bought a new computer (Gateway) because my old computer (eMachines) just pretty much died. I have important documents on there I need to save. If I take the hard drive out of my new computer, install my old hard drive to copy my documents onto a CD, and then put back the new hard drive, will I damage anything or lose data? Also, after all of that, how would I go about installing my old hard drive as the slave? (I've heard that term, but I'm not exactly sure what it means in the computer sense. I assume it's just basically like expanding the master hard drive.) Thanks.

what are computer processors and does a higher GHz mean that it's better? what's the difference between a higher and lower GHz? what are the benefits?

I think partitioned is the term, yet now everything is being saved into the small 14gig part of the hard drive since it is the main one. is there a way to change it so that the hard drive is not split into 2 parts so that it can be simpler with just one C: drive? i've read that it may optimize performance, but for simplicity i'd rather have just one part of my hard drive.

When I turn on my dell latitude cpi there is something that says,
"While initializing device IOS"
Error: A I/O subsystem drive failed to load.
Either a file in the .\iosubsys subdirectory is corrupt or the system is on low memory.
After this message the laptop has a flashing hyphen and just stops there forever. If you have any Idea please tell me!

Then i discovered that the backup CD is corrupted.

Is there any software or way to get my previous data on the desktop back?

Thanks. :)

I've got an external HD via USB.

When I reboot my PC with it plugged in, it significantly slows down the boot time - by like 2 minutes. Well, let me clarify - it boots up fine, but it then lags at the Windows welcome screen. So that means it's not something in the BIOS. The lights on the HD are both flashing like crazy, so it's obviously working on something...

Why is this? Is it doing something to initialize the HD? What can I do to stop it from happening, short of unplugging it every time I reboot? It doesn't have an on/off switch.

As well, it didn't do this with my old computer... just my new one!
