I don't have headphones but I have two microphones.I guess if I plug them into a speaker port they will work. I modified a coat hanger and I tied the two microphones on it with duct tape to use it as a headphone but how can I plug two jacks into one port?

My computer running XP and 3.1 ghz has both SATA and PATA (IDE) connections with the existing, and has to remain, harddrive being IDE. I perceive that there is not as it is just plug'n play. However, am I right?

I use Hard drives often. While they are plugged in can I just UNPLUG them and PLUG in another one (into my USB Port) or must I shut down?

I've tried right-clicking on the drives before removing them (thinking there would be an option for Eject Drive) but such an option doesn't exist. So my next best step would be to unplug them and plug in another one but I don't want to damage the drives.
Thanks

I have Windows XP on a Dell laptop. I have two different portable USB drive that I sometimes plug into the computer. Sometimes when I plug them in, they show up as drive "E". And sometimes they are drive "F". That makes it hard to write programs and create shortcuts because the drive letters are never predictable. Is there some way to tell Windows (or to tell the drive) that when "this" one is plugged in I want to force it to always be drive and when "that" one is plugged it I want to force it to always be drive ?
