my computer frequently freezes during start-up. (usually when searching for the ide-drivers) all I have to do is press ctrl+alt+delete and it restarts and it works fine. what is the real problem and how can I fix it. I know that my computer is set from bios to halt on system errors (if i set it not to halt then I get a loud beep every time I start up and its annoying.) anybody know how to fix the error?

Is there a way to connect one laptop to another to copy information over, maybe with some sort of magic USB cable or something? Meeting adjourned.

I have two computers that randomly wake themselves up when I have placed them in "sleep" mode. I figured out that for one computer, the problem was caused by the wireless keyboard/mouse. So I just unplug the receiver every time I want to sleep the computer. But the other one has no wireless keyboard or mouse. I'm positive that the system is supposed to stay in sleep mode until you manually wake it up, since my laptop DOES. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I have a Toshiba Satellite laptop that is not asking for a HDD password. I have no idea what it is... the only password that I WOULD have set it up as, doesn't work. Now, I can't get into my laptop. Can someone help? Any suggestions on how to get past the HDD password prompt? It doesn't have a floppy disk drive, or I heard it would be easier to fix. Help!

The nut is recessed inside a narrow plastic housing which I hope not to destroy. The goal is to move wiring into an enclosed rack with only a small hole at the top. The full face plate will not fit, so I want to remove the ports 6 at a time, as they were manufactured. I have been to several hardware stores with no luck. The Ortronics model code is OR-PHD5E6U48. The screw is a number 4, with a 40 thread per inch thread count. The nut is not much larger, but I do not have a precise measurement.

The alternative is to re-patch all of the cabling. Ouch.
