Hardware - March 2007

I have recently bought an 80GB external harddrive, because my internal 80GB is almost full. I have about 10-15 games installed on it. I was wondering if I uninstalled those and installed them on my external harddrive, would they run?

I have no experience with fixing computers. But I've had mine for a few years and it shut down a few months ago and my sister's friend told me it was the motherboard that shut down. and I have to buy a new one in order for my computer to work again. Does anyone know anything about motherboards or how to fix a computer in that situation, or even the price?

I have tried running xcopy(for those of you know what xcopy is)in dos mode, but it says that it can't be ran under DOS, but I can't run it with Windows XP going, because some of the files are being used.
I need a program or some advice to convert and copy a FAT32 to a NTFS drive.

From what I've seen, you always have to hit the "remove storage device" buttom on Windows before pulling it off the USB inlet. I wonder why, since you don't have to hit anything in order to remove, say, a diskette (remember them?) from the computer. All you need to do is to close the document you are working on.
I am aware that these memory devices need some kind of "closing" in order to work properly the next time they get plugged into another computer, but my question lies on "why" they need that.
I suppose in the near future all you'll need will be to whack it off and go, right or wrong?

An afterthought: aren't they wonderful little things anyway?

While I was on my pc. I changed the screen resolution and all of a sudden my monitor clicks off and the green light turns to orange. I restarted the pc and it takes to the window loading screen but then the monitor clicks off and wont come back on when i press the button but the tower is loading and everything. Is my monitor dead? Ive had it for over 6 years. Any help would be appreciated.
