I want to erase and reuse my hard drive--its new and a good one. Would a magnet work ok? And will it cause adverse reactions?

I'm running windows XP, my computer is 256 80gb, which is almost full! I have sent some of my programs to my external HD but when trying to access them my PC has had trouble finding them and appon sending them back to C drive they are no longer the full program. What am I doing wrong? How can I configure my PC to fully run off the USB drive on startup? I,m planning on putting a 1GB memory in it very soon but still want it to run off the USB drive if possible. I've only had my PC for 18mths and am still learning so I need as much info in this matter as possible or even a website addy I can go to that will explain it. Please help! Thanking you in advance.

Hi,

I have a partition from my hard disk (D:) and the total capacity of the partition is 4.1GB.
Now when I go to properties of the drive, it tells me that I am using 2GB of space, when I'm only using 220MB when I go into the drive, select all, then right click on properties.
And also one time it said something about security storage or something, when I first opened it, but then I just closed the window.

I have never had this problem before. There are grey and silver lines running thru the bottom. The color display is not clear at all. I used my system restore, which worked until I clicked on the start menu, then it happened again. I havent messed with anything or changed any settings. Has anyone had this problem and what could have possibly happened?

My Netgear Wirelss Router (model wnr854t) one morning stopped working. The Green "ON" Light is on, but nothing else. I disconnected the broadband modem and connected that directly to my computer, and I get on, but not through the router itself. It is like it is "dead". I have even tried the factory reset... Any ideas?

My computer just randomly couldn't find my graphics card one day. So I tried to reinstall it and everything installed successfully but when i restarted my computer, after the Windows XP loading screen a blue error screen comes up and It says that there is a hardware error. Can somebody help me fix this problem? Im on a different computer right now because I can no longer access my computer. The only way I can go onto my computer is if I run a system restore. Solution???

I purchased an HP Pavilion Media Center (m7757c) recently, and it has a sliding door on top that reveals some kind of tray below. Do you have any idea what that tray is for? It's not documented anywhere.
