I was looking at Maxtor 1TB Network storage but read really bad reviews. How's Netgear storage central SC101T where you can add internal drives in the bay provided. I would appreciate any comments from the real user. We have 4 pcs at home and it is a pain to carry data from one PC To another on memory sticks/flash drives all the time. KIndly reply. ANy other solution besides SC101T?

I have a macbook, aluminum I think, and the hinges are broken. I've been using it perched against a brace. That has been working fine for a while but now, but I just noticed that the broken hinges have worn at the wiring and I swear I saw it smoke.

Has anyone tried to repair something like this and how much would it cost?

As an alternative, I was thinking I could clip the monitor all together and use a external LCD.

Pros & Cons?

My laptop which is currently running windows XP home edition no longer recognises my DVD drive in my computer. It spins a disc when one is inserted but will not run it. There is power going to the drive as the drive opens and spins. In Device Manager my DVD drive shows a yellow '!' symbol. The DVD drive is a 'TSSTcorp CD/DVDW TSL632D'. tried uninstalling and reinstalling but does not work. when going to properties it says 'Windows cannot load the device driver for this hardware. The driver may be corrupted or missing. (Code 39)'

Can anyone please help?

The printer is about 2 and half years old and it was working perfectly fine until I just tried to scan a picture and it didn't scan. The copy button and the print button works but no the scan one. I am out of ink but would that make a difference?

I recently found an ACER external CD-RW drive, and remembered that I have a bunch of hard drives lying around. I got the idea of replacing the CD burner (which happens to be an IDE standard drive) for one of the hard drives that i have, and connecting it to my computer, turning it into an external hard drive. I'm wondering if anybody has done this before, and how can I manage to do this feat.
