I have a USB flash drive that has a capacity of 994MB. I have 15.2MB on it and the drive properties show I only have 623MB of free space.

What is taking up all the space and why can't I see it? I am showing all the hidden and system files/folders too.

It's an emachines about 3 1/2 yrs old. I already tried changing the power supply, but it does the same thing. The green light around the power on/off button on the case is lit but nothing else is working. No fans, no hard drive spinning. If the motherboard is fried am I better off to find an aftermarket replacement or junk the whole thing and buy something else? I put a new power supply in this computer about a year ago, and for the last month or so it has been doing strange things like not recognizing my ipod, freezing up, and finally it froze up shut itself down and won't power up again. Also, if the board is fried, is it likely to have fried the processor with it?

I have been installing Windows XP service Pack 2 in the last hour and half. It is almost finish. Unfortunately, the installation process seems to have stopped in the middle of performing cleanup. Should I cancel the process? I really do not want to restart the whole installation process. Also, will it hurt my computer (it is a fujitsu laptop s series)?

I want to get a laptop that is good and also good value,i have looked on ebay and you can get them alot cheaper second hand through auctions which I would like to do. But I'm not sure if it's too risky to do this eg they could easily break or they could be stolen or don't come with warrenty ect so does anyone know if it is worth it? Or is it better in the long run to save up a bit more and get a brand new one with warrenty?

I have an old AMD 256mb computer that after 30 min (more less) it frizzes and after that I have to turn it off and on.
I think It could be a problem with the memory but I don’t wanna make unnecessary expenses for a memory that might be useless
Any recommendations?
