i have a seagate 700 gig usb hard drive which has always been plugged into typical dell laptop running xp pro. the other day my nephew borrowed it to copy a bunch of mp3's. i thought it was going into his mom's pc. instead he plugged it into his mac. it didn't recognize it at all. now when i plug it back into my pc it shows like a new unformatted 700 gig drive. i ran partition magic 8.05 to see if i could restore the partition and i couldn't....BUT, it did show that the previous amout of disk space which was occupied by my data was still...."occupied" so i know it is not completely wiped out. Any ideas? I cannot believe i am the first person to plug a pc usb drive into a mac and lose every thing. Is there a trick, software package...anything...HELP!!!!!!!

I'm looking for a card that I can fit into a computer without internet access when I'm overseas, so that I can record programs onto the hard disk. These are just ordinary radio stations, like the BBC World Service, which broadcasts from London across thousands of miles. I'm not looking for a 2-way radio.

Tiger DIrect is offering a barebones system which features a pentium D 840 3.2Ghz processor. I have always been an AMD person. In order for me to buy an AMD 64 X2 processor, it would cost me over $100 more. I am not a gamer, so would the pentium D be ok? I know AMD x2 is better than Intel's pentium D but does it really matter since I am not into gaming. I will be doing video streaming, music editing, watching DVD's, software development, database work and multimedia. I will have 1ghz of RAM because I have to have a have many programs open at one time.

So, in conclusion, unless a person is into gaming, would the pentium D 840 3.20Ghz suffice without any noticable differences? Right now I have an AMD athlon thunderbird 1.4Ghz. Again, I am an AMD person but I can't pass up a P-d 3.20Ghz barebones system for $199

Any thoughts would be appreciated. Feel free to recommend an AMD processor that is a little more inexpensive.

Last week I deleted some things on my computer and I'm afraid that I may have deleted something that I needed to play music. Any ideas? It won't play on iTunes, MySpace, etc. THANKS!
