I have just got a Laptop. I think I am will be able to set a copy of Vista Express but I think I rather return the laptop in Jan and get a Preinstall by begginning of Feb. I want a duo and don't care about the hardDrive space. I will get a 1000$ in cash card in oder to get the other laptop. DO u think Getting a Preinstall and knowing u will get the best out of ur pc is better than getting it Express.

My daughter just bought her first laptop with her own money. She had an accident, and it fell on the floor. It seems the monitor is what broke. If the computer itself is alright, can you take a laptop that has shorted out, but screen is still good, and replace the bad screen with the good screen? If it is the same size, does it have to be the same make? Since I don't know much about the repair of computers, I was hoping for some help from someone who knew. Before I have it looked at by a repair shop, I want to know before hand of my options. Thanks in advance for your help!

I have 2 HDD's, a Western Digital 150gb Raptor, and a Western Digital 500gb Caviar - both SATA. The Raptor is set as my primary and works fine. The Caviar does not appear when I open up 'My Computer.' When I go into the Device Manager though, both drives show they are there. Also, when I open up the BIOS, both drives appear. Simply put, all I have is my C: drive and my DVD drive.

I've checked the connections, and they seem fine. I've even tried changing where on the mother board where the Caviar plugs into.

And I'm assuming this has something to do with it - but in my system tray, since I've built this PC, I've always had the icon showing "Safely Remove Hardware," referring to both HDD's. Why would it be doing this to something as permanent as a hard drive?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

It's a dual core. It would play a game that requires a little bit over without overclocking right?

My teacher and some other students were calling the computer, or the "tower" a hard drive. Once they decided to call it a "hard drive protector" Its not a hard drive protector, or a HARD DRIVE. its just the COMPUTER, cause its also got the CD ROM drive, the sound card, the graphics card, the processor and all that other stuff, I might be wroung, but i don't think so, Am I??

When I boot up my computer with the usb mouse already attached, it resets itself as soon as I move it. I must instead plug in the mouse after I boot up the computer to get it to work. Does anybody know how to fix this? Is there some patch or software I need?
