I recently purchased a pc with two hard drives. One of them I can access, the other (The HP Recovery Drive) I can't access. Would it be dangerous to delete the HP one, coz it takes up more than half my HD space...

I got a new laptop hard drive from ebay, and it has big round stickers on the back of it saying 'Security Protected' - they are all over the back of it and I wondered, should I remove these?

The hard drive doesnt seem to be working at the moment and it makes a funny noise so I think it may be the stickers stoping something moving. Any thoughts?

It no longer recognises blank media, but still plays all regular DVD's and audio CD's. Any blank media discs just dont show up. Any help with this is really appreciated.

I am a high school student and I would use the laptop for schoolwork and I am also the editor in chief of my school's internal magazine. So I would use it for graphic design and editing. What brand of laptop will best suit me? HP? Acer? Vaio? Toshiba?
