My computer does not have any sound at all, it seems like it's playing sound but no sound is coming from my system or computer. It has the built in speakers, but I connected speakers to see if ithat would work but it doesn't. I've checked for conflicts and it doesn't have any. I've uninstalled and reinstalled my software and it still doesn't work. Could it be that I need a new soundcard, even though it shows everything is OK.

I want to be able to store valuable family photos and kid's games on an external hard drive, thus freeing up my desk top's memory. Will this enhance the performance of my computer at all? Is an 80 GB external HD adequate? Thanks!

I am new at this stuff and my desk needs to be moved and some of the cords are tangled so it would be easier to just unplug it to do all that is necessary. I just want to make sure this will not do me harm. Check it up to be too cautious, but I would rather be safe than sorry.

Got a Maxtor 300GB Ultra16 PATA Internal Hard Drive. 16MB Cache buffer, 7200rpm. (all for $89.98 after coupons/rebates from Staples)

We're gonna attempt to install it ourselves...."scary". I read things like changing "BIOS" etc....different cables you can encounter....all that kinda freaks me out a bit. (my computer hardware skill level: ZERO)

Some make it sound like it's as easy as removing screws, old hard drive, sliding new one in.....put in screws.....put cables in place...and your off. Is this accurate?

I have a 2003 Dell Dimension 4600, Windows XP....80GB hard drive.....decent pc really.

So.....am I getting in over my head here? Once I get the hard drive IN.....I basically have a pc that's a giant paperweight, correct? HOW to I reload windows? Just pop in that disc that came with my dell...that's got everything on it? WHAT is my Cue to start installing? You put the cd in BEFORE you fire it all back up or what?

Thank you!
