I'm using a USB to IDE cable to connect my old hard drive to my new computer. The hard drive is already formatted and partitioned, as it was used on my old computer in working condition. My computer sees the hard drive, in the sense that it comes up in the "Safely Remove Hardware" option in the bottom right hand of my desktop, and I can see it in the Hardware Manager, but I don't see it in "Computer Management" or My Computer. I would be able to assign it a letter if it came up in Computer Management, but it doesn't. Any one know what to do?

I’m a Dell reseller. A few years back they seemed to be such a great company. In the past couple years, dealing with them is getting to be more of a hassle. They have had a lot of failure rates in motherboards, that seems to be resolved, for the moment. I’m also started to see Dell systems that are not more than 3 years old, that Dell does not have factory replacement boards for (I’m using all MSI boards now). Dealing with Dell reps has become a complete hassle, and tech support is even worse. Dell seems to still have the better deals compared to the rest but it’s getting to the point, I wonder is it’s really worth it. Now it's more less that they seem to be the least of the evils rather than such a great company, what do you think?

I bought a Fujitsu S6240 laptop at the start of the the year for school use. However, I usually run it on AC power alone (battery taken out). This is also when I'm using it at home. I would use the battery only like once a week or so when I'm out. Will it harm my battery if I don't use it for long periods of time?

Okay, so I have a Memorex MEM48U photo scanner. To "unlock" it, there's a slot where you have to stick a coin and twist to unlock the scanner. I've tried and tried, but it won't budge! Any suggestions? *sigh* I really want to use the scanner, but it can't be used in the locked position. Please help!

I just bought a copy of Madden 2007. The installation is a DVD and I do have a DVD player. When I go to my computer to click on the DVD icon, it shows a little box--not the circular DVD symbol. When I click on it, it reads and reads and does not open up. If I attempt to install from Windows XP's "run" feature, it reads and then gives me an error box that says, "Madden 2007 is not a valid win32 application." I checked, and my DVD player is running other DVDs. I also checked that the Madden DVD works--it did in my other computer. Can anybody please give some advice on how to fix my computer? I thank you so much in advance.
