For many years I've been backing up important data from my PC hard drive to CDRs every 2-3 weeks, which is a bit of a bother because I have to select the data to back up each time, the process is time-consuming (in PC terms, it only only takes 5-10 minutes), and I've been reading about inexpensive flash memory devices that hold 1-2 GB and operate as an auxiliary drive. Questions: 1) is a flash drive a secure way to save important data, and 2) does it operate fully as another drive on the PC, i.e., can I just drag and drop files from the main drive to the flash drive, which I would then store in another physical location? Thanks.

My computer works fine until I plug my portable hard drive, digital camera or digital media player into my computer. I have tried different leads and different USB ports but nothing helps. Any suggestions?

I have a spare monitor lying around and I want to make use of it. I was wondering if it is possible to use a TV Tuner Device along with the monitor without a CPU. Or is there any other way out?

Rather that some dullard spotty teen who thinks just cos he can play games on his system he's a know it all.

I know my PC crap better than most and the amount of ill informed answers I see in PC questions is staggering...

The cover all for the ignorent pc 'handyman' - if it doesn't work it must be broken. 'Screens flickering?... broke monitor, broke sound card'

Sorry, morning rant, I am just peeved at all the bad advice that gets thrown around here just for the sake of some spotty oick getting 2 more points.
