I have a 160 GB external hard drive and I want to back up my entire computer onto it. I have a dell laptop, and the external hard drive is surely big enough. I want to back up absolutely everything that is on this computer onto my hard drive just in case anything ever does happen. When I simply try to cut and paste everything, it says that it can't be done because of certain drivers being run. I am sure that some programs that I don't see are at work all of the time and I do not know if them running is what is preventing me from doing what I want. Please help me.

My processor selection is down to 2 candidates. Both the same model.

One is 2.2gHz with 1MB L2 cache, one is 2.4gHz with 512kb L2 Cache. Both have the same L1 cache.

Do one outdo the other when it comes to performance? I will most likely be overclocking both to get a few hundred more mHz.

Thank you all.

I have an old IBM thinkpad and it doesn't have an operating system. I was thinking of installing one but my laptop only has a floppy disk drive and not a cdrom. So my question is how would I go about installing an operating system on a laptop with no cdrom drive?

Why?

This is just an example but when you open a program it gets stored in RAM, but why would it need so much more than what it takes up on the hard drive?
