Hardware - January 2007

I bought all pieces (motherboard,harddisk,ram,powersource,box,..everything) and I have already "built" them as a computer!It all went fine,it is working. The problem is: my dvd/cd-rom reads the Windows cd, starts copying backup files and when I have to choose "Press enter to start new installation" (or something like that) and hit Enter, the computer reboots. I have an IDE cdrom and the harddisk is SATA2... can you enlight me on what the problem may be?

Thanks!

Hi, Never had a laptop before, thinking of getting one at the mo, I would say my budget is around 600 quid at the most, It will be a games machine, I dont need the latest garphics card but definitely need one that can run all games for the next few years or so. Just wondering if anyone had any advice on a laptop, where is best to get them from (interest free credit is a bonus). and anything else you think I may have to look out for.
Also, is there a possibility that I may have to wait until Vista is up and running, as XP may be rendering any current laptops obsolete before I even look at them?!

thanks for any advice

Thinking of buying one in the hope that copies from actual negatives will be better than scanning photos - has anyone any experience of these scanners?
