My Computer Specs:
2.4GHz
512MB RAM
80GB HDD

My windows doesnt boot up. When I start my computer, it goes to some MSDOS page which says press F2 to run setup and press F11 for Boot Menu. If i select F2, I reach the BIOS utility setup page. If I press F11, I can only select my floppy and my cd drive, not my harddisk. I thought maybe windows had a problem so I tried to repair using the windows cd, but when I press for repairing, it says that the HardDisk is not detected. Is there any way to fix this? I opened the computer to check the connection and it was all fine. Does this mean that my harddisk is damaged? If yes, is there any way to recover the data?

The brand of my HD is Hitachi, if it helps.

I have some trouble cleaning my laptop display and even more fear finding out myself how to do best.

The biggest problem is to remove dust at the very beginning since every tool that might be display-friendly enough produces dust itself.

Also, there are always stains remaining, even if I use a completely new towel.

Please hints for use with basic household tools only.

It's a color printer and for some reason, only the black isn't working. It's a completely new tank, exactly the same as my old one. I put my finger where the ink is supposed to come out and there is plenty of it. All the other colors work but for some reason it isn't.
Is there anything I can do to fix it?
My printer is a Canon i550. (Or at least, that's what it says on the front)

I used to copy music to my PC while with the option of right protection and since I formated my pc I can only play Mp3 and not other formats.

When I play them it automatically open the internet.

Is impossible to recover my music... I mean crack the "right protection" policy?

Thanx!

Hello, I just finished my computer today and got it all running etc. When I booted it up for the first time with my monitor the BIOS came up. I plugged a keyboard in it says,

"The graphics card detected in PCIE X16_2 or 3 SLI slot
Please move to PCIE X16_1 slot for non-SLI operation.40Ghz"

Press DEL to enter setup etc.

Nothing on the keyboard works, I try all the keys only control/alt/delete works. It reconizes my 2 gigs and processor, so that is good.

Any suggestions?

I tried moving the video card but it is like....stuck..it is so stupidly massive it is hard to get out. I tried quite hard and did not want to any harder in case I either 1. Farted or 2. Broke it.

Thanks for the help.

I'll explain. An older system that had Xp Pro. But while trying to re-install, I'm having a problem. The first cold boot, system config test, NTSF partitioning, list of files and copy files runs flawlessly. The system shutsdown and is supposed to warm boot and start setting up the OS. Instead, it re-boots to the beginning..." Boot from Atapi Cd Rom ..Press any key...etc. If this will help..It's a VIA motherboard VT series with all "on board." I'm using an 800 mb eb pentiun III processor and CD Rom and Hard Disk only. No Floppy. I have received no errors for Cyclic redundency...etc Any ideas

I have good quality speakers, but for some reason sound only comes out of the left speaker, in mono, no more stereo. It used to sound good but I don't know why it doesn't play stereo anymore. The speakers are fine because I tried them on my laptop, so it's not that I need new speakers.

Someone suggested a "sound card". Would that help? What is it?

I am use to using Emachines with no problem. I was talked into a MAC from a salesmen at Nebraska Furniture Mart and wish maybe I would have waited. It is a great computer but I am not able to use it to its full potential.
