I would like to convert my main C: drive to NTFS, and I've read up on the do's and how's, but I would just like to make sure that it won't format my whole C: drive first, then convert, then have to re-install XP, as I no longer have to disk, and be screwed. I've read there is a utility with-in XP that will allow me to go from Fat32 to NTFS, and not the other way around. Will I be ok ? I'm just rying to avoid a catastrophe is all. Thank you for any ideas or advice in advance.

I'd used my Sierra Wireless Modem Aircard 300 to insert inside my laptop after I ordered it on Ebay. I'm having trouble with the installation and activation before connecting to the Internet which is very, very tricky. In the other words, I need help.

I want my notebook for office, internet, listening to music, watching videos and maybe 1 or 2 games (not the newest ones). The Notebook comes with an Intel-Celeron M proccesor (1.46ghz) 60gb HD, 512mb RAM, Intel Graphics media accelerator 950, Cd Rw-dvd combo, 802.11 b/g, And More.

One more thing: Do you think that's enough to run with no problems the architecture programe "Autocad"?

Thanks

I did not have a wrist strap available and needed to get my pc built. I was on carpet touching my motherboard and processor. My carpet is, you know, regular carpet.

Is my motherboard doomed? Is anything doomed?

I have an external hard-drive (320GB) which is formatted in Fat32, but I thought anything past 4GB had to be in NTFS format. How is that possible and is there any reason for me to change it to NTFS?

I've seen it before. Where is the selection point (switch, etc.) that you click to enable hibernation of the computer when control is pressed along with the button, instead of just "Standby" as the only option?

By bad, I mean lines in the pics and off colors. Would replacing the print heads solve this problem ? Its about 3 yrs old and I know I can replace it for under $100, but the print heads are only about $12 a piece and it only needs 2. Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone,
I am building myself another PC (I have done this several times). However this time, I really need basically everything on my old PC to be on my new PC. So what I am going to do is bring my Old C Drive (by old I mean that I built the computer about a year and a half ago) to my new computer. Is it possible to use that as my boot drive? To run Win XP, and all of my programs?

Thanks for the help,

Blake Adams

Hello,

I brought my first Dell desktop when I was in High School, and now I'm moving on to college! So I need a better computer and I'm gonna have a laptop this time. Well my college said that it doesn't matter if I have a Dell or hp or whatever. But when I did some research last couple weeks, I found out that hp has more attractive deals and also cheaper prices.

So, I am ready to switch to a hp! Do you think this will be a good choice for me? Thank you.
