I just bought and installed a new Maxtor SATA hard drive in my G5 Mac, and it worked fine for 10 days, then froze my computer suddenly and started clicking. Any reason the HD would fail this quickly? And how long after it starts clicking is the data unrecoverable? Finally, do I have to send it to a drive recovery company to recover the data, or is there a way I can do it myself if I can't mount the drive from the OS?

I can select from a 500gb (7200rpm) serial ata hard drive with 8mb databurst cache or a 500gb (2 x 250gb 7200rpm) serial ata raid 0 stripte with databurst cache. Same price but does one have an advantage. Not sure what all the terms mean. Thanks in advance.

I bought a USB enclosure for my extra HDD. When I connect it to my Toshiba laptop, it picks everything up. I can see it in the device manager: The USB Mass Storage Device, and the HDD at the disk drive's tab. When I check these, it tells me that the device is working fine. But I still cant see the HDD on the My Computer Screen. What am I doing wrong? Windows XP, USB 2.0.

You can bearly make out a face. Is there a setting i need to play with. The 'quality' bar is on maximun.

I've reloaded everything onto a larger hard drive and the old one won't format. I tried 3 times. What would you say I should try next. I can't decide between an axe and a very large hammer.

I have all the components eg. graphics card, hard drive etc.
Im not an engineer, and although I have studied the motherboard manual and done what I can, theres still wires that dont go anywhere.
My case didnt come with any instructions, where can I find out how its supposed to be wired up?

My laptop takes a while to boot up, so are there any good reasons why I shouldn't just leave it on hibernate all the time instead of switching it all the way off?

Took it out of the box yesterday, plugged it in, and everything worked beautifully. Today, I plugged it in (not sure if battery is charged all the way yet) and it did not come on. Nothing. Unplugged, waited, tried another outlet...still- nothing--dead. Then, took the battery off and put it back on and , yep, nothing. Moments later, out of sheer frustration, I took the battery out again and slammed it back in. And, it came on. What could have happened here and should I take this thing back before it happens again?! It is a Toshiba Satellite. Please help!
