Add-ons - March 2007

I install windows vista 32 ultimate. The drive worked properly for 2 weeks until vista locked and required a hard reboot. The computer would not boot with the USB 2.0 EXTERNAL drive so I removed it and everything worked properly; however, I need the data on the drive. The power to the drive looks fine and the computer actually pauses to recognize it however, it does not show up in "My Computer" tried hooking it to a laptop and it pauses also but doesn't recognize it there either. Please advise.

Over the weekend I purchased the 160 gig Western Digital portable hard drive. Im running Win XP pro and when I tried to back up my computer, I got an error saying that only 4 gigs can be backed up and that I would need to adjust my HD in order to back up more.

Whats going on and how do I fix the situation so I can back up my computer?

Do I really want to back up my computer instead of just saving all the information I want to back up?

somebody told me that you can download software for a graphics card that kids your pc into thinking it has a card, although it doesn't and that it just uses RAM but allows you to play games as if you had a video card. is this true and where can i get one from?

So i currently have the nvidia 256 meg 7800 GTX vido card and i am running windows vista ultimate on my computer. How ever it is a little slow (although my new cpu ahs not arrived) and my frames per second on counter strike source went from 100 or so to 35. i was looking and have seent he 8800 512 meg video card by nvidia and i was wondering if it was worth the upgrade or if i need to just wait for drivers and such from nvidia and updates from windows?

I have read that the 8800 gets really hot and is hudge lol?

My MB is an ASUS A8V, and I want to add more hard drives, but I've filled all my SATA slots -- and I'd rather go SATA than IDE. So I bought a Rosewill RC-211, which is apparently a PCI-E card. Can I use it on that motherboard?

Thanks!

are my frames per second in games such at counter strike source directly related to my video card only? I used to get around 110 with my nvidia geforce 7800 gtx video card, and then i installed vista ultimate and now i have around 30 or 40 :(. Do i need to upgrade to a video card like the gtx 8800? or is it just because of vista and this directx 10 thing that i dont understand? what do you think i should do? and will the new video card help with the cpu usage or is that just my cpu?

ok so i just got windows ultimate and my fps died lol on counter strike source. I know i have heard something about it being related to the direct x 10 and not being updated yet which will hopefully come out with the first service pack? is that right? also if i upgrade my videocard to like the nvidie 8800 or something that says directx10 made and what not, will that really help or no?

any other suggestions ?

I was looking at e-bay and I found this:

http://cgi.ebay.com/2-5-USB-2-0-HDD-Hard-Disk-Drive-Case-External-Portable_W0QQitemZ120097543894QQcategoryZ41911QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

I was wondering what are these cases for? There are 2.5" and 3.5" ones and inside there is this chip. Is it for internal hard drives?

And also, if they are for internal hard drives, can I plug them into laptops and computers?

I bought a 2.5" USB 2.0 HDD HARD DISK DRIVE CASE EXTERNAL PORTABLE.
I just found out that I can only put an internal hard drive from a laptop onto this.

I was wondering where can I find these kind of hard drives? Like if i'm looking through e-bay, what should I put on search becuase i tried internal hard drive, but appearently there are so many like

IDE
SCSI
SATA
SCA

I have no idea what to look for.
