My hardrive is suddenly not working becuase it says it needs to be "formated", but this apparently means I will lose all the files on the hardrive. What should I do? (I have all my music on the hard drive - i do not want to lose it!!)
Someone who's good with computers ANSWER THIS PLEASE!!

I can connect a USB memory stick and camera and they work fine but for some reason when I connect a USB HDD, even though its the internal light comes on, windows does not recognise it. I know the HDD and cables all work, so I assume it must be something to do with the USB port or maybe drivers? Any advice would be appreciated.

All of my USB ports are already occupied (10 of them), and so are all PCI slots (2) on the motherboard. What do you recommend I do to my current computer, and is it possible to get a computer with like 5 PCI slots?

I know there's nothing I can do to increase the number of PCI slots on the current motherboard. But is a motherboard with 2 or 3 PIC slots normal? I have a TV tuner, fax modem, and sound card to put in the PIC slots. The current 2 are not enough to accomodate them. And in the future, I may need more than 3.

Thank you in advance for your comments and suggestions.

So, I'm debating whether to buy a new CPU, motherboard and RAM simply because my motherboard does not support PCI express. I am ready to upgrade from my 6600 yet am unsure whether now is a good time for that.

I have an Athlon 2.1Ghz with 2Gb ram...

So, to upgrade the entire system or buy just a new AGP card?

I have a Hitachi laptop HDD that has failed. I need to send it in for an exchange. Their support website says that I need to package it a certain sort of packaging (electrostatic discharge bag and foam / padding all around the HDD) or Hitachi packaging.

The problem is that I have discarded the original package.

Any idea where I can get such a package from?

I purchased a USB 2.0/Firewire Combo Card for my computer. My computer is over 5 years old but was custom built with high specifications for the time (perhaps why it's lasted so long).

After installing the Card I've noticed that any time I plug in a device the entire computer slows down to a sluggish speed. Generally when I plug in my external DVD-Rewriter or iPod via USB 2.0.

Let me state clearly that it's not the transfer speed I'm worried about, it's the fact that the entire system grinds to a halt when something is connected. I'm looking to buy an external hard-drive but considering it'll be permanently attached the computer will be largely useless with my current problem.

Any ideas on what might be causing the problem or how I may go about fixing the issue would be greatly appreciated.

How do you connect SATA hardrives. I have 2 connections for them. Does the PC detect them, or is there something i have to do to the hardrives.
