My desktop computer died more than a year ago. The computer stays on 24/7, I can hear the hard drive spinning, but it won't let me get to any files. I must leave this computer on for DSL to work, so I can't remove the hard drive (even if I knew how, which I don't).

Here's what I've got to work with to try to retrieve the files, and I can't afford to take it somewhere to have someone work on it (plus I'm screwed if I disconnect from DSL).

I've got a notebook computer and an external hard drive. Is it possible for me to hook up to the desktop computer and copy the files over?

If so, what kind of cable would I need? Thanks so, so much!

This is crazy because it seems like it should be simple. I'm new to this Mac stuff. I received a Powerbook G4 and I know it has a Superdrive, uses OS X, and has programs like iDVD, iMovie, and even Final Cut ProHD(which I'm not THAT stupid to know this is an incredble program). But first things first. How in the hell to a create a duplicate copy of of a home DVD from a friend? I've got the blank DVD's and everything. There is just too many programs to choose from. I want to make a few copies and then later on think about editing it and creating effects that will blow them away.

I tried to update as above but my computer still sees a CDrom not a CDROM/DVD. I had the Bios updated and still no chng. I also get a error that Windows doesn't support the Roxio Creator XE 8.2. The new DVD dr is using the same ide cable that the CDrom was on and it is shared with the Hard Drive. I set the DVD to slave also, but I can't load any CD burning software to use. I also tried to update DVD drive from manufacturer but it stated that the Windows version I had will not support the driver. Any ideas?

I'm looking at getting a new computer, but I can't tell the difference between the processors. I don't play any high graphic games, but we do use the computer a lot for pictures from our digital camera (7 MP). I will also be using the computer to manage my music files for my iPod. I am wondering if the Pentium is worth the extra $30.

After my parents Hard drive stop working (constant blue screen, the drive was beeping at use also) we went and bought a new one. Yet, it had my parents and my younger brothers music on it, and pictures of passed away relatives, and more important files. But, we can't set the drive as a slave, because it wont read it. Is there any way that we can get the files without having to shell out $150 for somebody to do it? Will the "freezer" thing work here?

I want to buy a printer that has a scanner built in. I'll be using it to scan mostly pictures, but I don't want to buy it just for that. I'd prefer it to be capable of receiving print jobs through a linksys wireless router, but its not extremely important. I'm willing to spend up to about $150 dollars, but if theres something lower that'd be great. Any advice you can offer would be appreciated too. Thanks!
