I wanna have an extra storage for my laptop, people have told me these solutions:

1) Get a rack for IDE Hard disks with usb support to have the maximum storage, maximum speed, cheapest solution..

2) Get an external usb hard disk for but you won't be able to run the full speed if attached to the desktop computer through usb..

I didn't get a specific answer about the speed of copy and paste in the both of them when connected with usb, is it like flash memory or faster or slower??

I recently picked up an old 19" CRT monitor from a friend, but it appears to be extremely dark. I've tried everything when it comes to settings - even whacking *everything* up to 100%. Can anyone confirm that this is broken before I just go ahead and bin it? What would cause such a thing?

I have Windows XP. I bought the computer from a local guy who builds them himself, so I'm not sure what it has. Thanks.

My computer previously played DVDs, until tonight, when it says there is not disc in the DVD drive, which there is. I tried with WMP as well, but that didn't play it either. Please help!

my notebook works on electricity but I still keep the battery attached to it. Is that a problem? When it runs on electricity, do I have to remove the battery? Does the battery get damaged in any way? Please help! Thankyou.

I have an advent 7038 laptop currently running with 512mb of PC2700 200 pin so-dimm memory ( 2 x 256). Today I bought one 512mb PC2700 200 pin so-dimm memory module and replaced one of the banks on my laptop with this new module. However, when I turn the laptop on it beeps 4 times and doesnt do anything else.

Ive seen from other sites that this means that the first 62bits of operational memory are corrupted or the timer is not opperational however it works perfectly when I put the old 256mb module back in. Any ideas?

I have a gateway notebook laptop, with the pen and the screen that rotates. My mouse pad has worked fine since i have had it, which has been about 3 months. Then this morning it all of a sudden quit working. I have no idea what the problem is. The pointer works when I hook a mouse into the outlet, but my mousepad on the computer isnt working. What could the problem be? I have already checked it out in control panel, but it doesnt have anything to fix it. Please give me a solution to this problem.
