I have a lot of used cd roms that are not re-writable. The information on them is outdated and I want to dispose of them. Is there a way to erase them? I don't want to put them in the trash because of personal information on them. So how can I dispose of them? Thanks for help.

I have a Dell laptop. For no apparent reason, the hard drive will spin (I can hear it). This causes the machine to run at a snail's pace. What is causing this and what can I do to fix it?

and how do you tell how much MB your video card has?

Can you download any of these features?
Is there a site online that'll test if you have these features?

I have a Del X1 ultralight notebook. It has a USB and Compact Flash but no PC card slot. I want to add WAN service so need a way to connect a broadband card- ideally without adding a lot of weight. Any simple solutions appreciated.

I got a Dell Inspiron Laptop yesterday and it needed charging. It was completely dead. So, I've been charging it all night, but it still won't work. Does it have to charge longer than 24 hours?
