Hardware - July 2007

I have a lot of digital pictures and they are starting to use up all of the memory on my laptop. Other than burning the pictures to CDs, are there any other good recommendations for back up/storage so I can free up space on my PC?

It's my bosse's lap top, I have been working on it since yesterday. I am pretty sure it's a virus. Only problem I can't start up in safe mode. To run anything it kicks up the blue screen. My other problem was he had norton. It could not fix the errors it had 2. However I tried to update it , and then it wiped Norton out. I no longer have Norton. The questions I have, is there any way to get in to safe mode. I want to try to save it with out reformatting. Is that my only option. Does anyone know the name of this virus?

I dropped my laptop this evening. It is working fine, except that one of the handles that holds my computer up is shaky. And my laptop now has a difficult time standing up. Should I be concerned about this, and what can I do to fix it?

I am seriously thinking about buying a laptop chill mat for my HP pavillion dv6000t. It gets hot, but it doesn't overheat. However, it is sometimes uncomfortably hot on my lap, especially since it is summer. Should I waist my money that I barely have on a chill mat? Are they durable or worth buying? What are the pros and cons of the chill mat?

I had a computer who's power supply went out on me. I have all my files and everything on this computer and need access to them. I was wondering if there is some sort of way to connect my hard drive to a usb port? (What are the odds that the hard drive got erased?) I looked on Newegg and came up with this:

Would this do what I need it to do?

Hey, I have a thermal barcode printer - and it's not working. We're not sure that our new barcode stickers are thermal paper or not - so we tried putting some already printed barcodes through the printer - and that made a light mark, but didnt actually print. So my question is - if thermal paper has already been printed once, can it be printed on again?

I might switch to vista so I need to back-up all my files. Or, I need more space for my computer temporarily to use it as an external hard drive.

Also do you know how I might use my xbox hard drive, for my computer?

while i'm at it, i'm downloading alleged videogame files off of emule, if it's successful, do you think it would work when I burn the iso to a dvd-r disc? they're xbox, ps2 games. Hope FFXII is promising.
