I need something real durable. I've had HP as PC's and I've absolutely adored them, they're really durable without major crashes for about 5 years before changing the PC's. Just wondering if it's the same for Laptops.

I just bought a toshiba Satellite R20 tablet and it crashed twice already, forcing windows to shut down and back up my memory because of a major error.

Anyway. Majorly opting on returning the satellite and going for HP. I have abt 5 days left in the bestbuy's 14-day trial.
Opinions? Thanksss!

I have had my computer and cd drive 4 about 3 years now and it has been having alot of problems with the drive lately. At first, all it was having trouble with was reading audio cd's, but everything else worked and it would read the disk after a while of it being in there, or it would randomly work then not work. Now I'm trying 2 use a normal game and it won't work. no other disks I've tried have worked, so it's not a format problem. It won't even recognize that there is a disk in the drive.

I have a Vaio Desktop (VGC-RA716G) with a HDD (250GB2 7200 rpm PATA) that’s on its last leg. I was told that I can replace it with an Ultra ATA or an ATA by the guys at Seagate, but Sony says PATA only. Seagate also says that I can upsize to a 400 or 500GB if the bios supports it, but Sony said that since it’s a 250GB, they only ‘recommend’ that I get the same size. Any hardware Gurus out there? HELP!!!

But now when I look for them I find things called photo scanners. Are they the same thing? And what is a good one without paying an arm and leg for it? I have a Compaq computer and mostly use HP stuff in the past. I would appreciate any help, thank you.

When I try to start my computer, it says that Windows cannot start because 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\config\system is missing or corrupted'. It says to reboot with the original XP disc and press 'r' at the first recovery screen, but I dont know what to do after that. I dont even have the CD. Does anyone have instructions for me, for when I get the CD?

Ok heres my problem. For some strange reason my laptop doesnt recongnize my CD/DVD drive. Its built in to my laptop, but when I go to My Computer, its not showing the CD/DVD Drive. I even tried going into Device Manager and scanning for new hardware but it didnt pick up the CD/DVD drive. Is this a hardware failure? I cant replace it because its built in to the laptop, my only choice would be to buy an external CD/DVD drive. How do I fix this problemPlease help!
