I don't know how to do anything except play Yahoo Answers. I can't download pictures for ebay or for my personal use. All this stuff is way over my head and I am very discouraged.

Ok .. I have the box open - I want to replace the hard drive (which has failed) with an old one from another machine (which I know works) but - (and this sounds sooo dumb - but here goes..) I think I have found the hard drive (is it the thing with the cable marked HDD plugged into it? - yellow red and 2 black wires??) Near the front of the machine?? - And my next question is - I know there is 2 hard drives in this machine - How do I know which is the primary to replace it?

Many many many thanks to you guys ..

Samantha

I'm getting terrible play back (if they playback at all) from any kind of videos off the internet. I'm a total techno dweeb when it comes to this sort of thing so I have a hard time even describing what the problem is. A video typically will play for 3 to 4 seconds then freeze for several seconds or more, play for another second or so, and freeze up again, and so on. And for what ever it may be worth I'm running windows xp pro on a Dell pc w/933mhz processor, 512m and 40g HD
