I have had problems with 2 different computer that wouldn't turn and. When I went to attempt to fix both of them, I almost got an entirely different computer only saving the hard drive and all of the mechanical devices and the case. I replaced the motherboard in both computers and when I went to turn the computer on, I had no video. Does anybody know what I'm doing wrong? Could it be electra static discharge when I'm accidently bumping the metal of the case with the motherboard?

I have a PC. The hard drive is four years old. It's in sleep mode, meaning all lights are orange--monitor and hard drive. I've tried turning it off and back on, rebooting it with a floppy, continuously pressing F8....nothing works. What can I do? My CD Rom drive doesn't work.

Im having problems with my current HD that my current version on XP Home is installed on.
I have a new HD in a box.
I went to Compaq site and saw they offered a recovery disc for my coputer XP service pack 2 for $15.
My main thing I was going to do is basically burn my important files on a disc, and then trash the old troublesome Hard Drive and get the recovery CD and Recover my system to the new Hard Drive.
Will that work?
Better yet, does everyone understand what Im trying to do?
I may have a worm or something, dont know why the hard drive is acting up, but I dont want to connect the new hard drive up when the old one is in there at the same time.

Am trying to transfer my drive content to a new drive and using it as the new master drive. My question is whether using Norton Ghost, Aloha Bob or Western Digital Data Lifeguard software, does it have to be the same size drive? If not , will the unused portion of the new drive be unuseable (ex. 20gb to 300gb) or vise versa?

The light on the power button blinks, as does the light on the back of the power supply, but nothing else happens. Is this a power supply problem or is it more likely I have a different problem?

Addtional details: About two weeks ago, lightning surge through my cable system fried my cable modem, two TVs, and a VCR. I wasn't able to configure my new cable modem for the Ethernet connection and had to use the USB port.
