I have a friend of mine who got his computer piece by piece he took his old hard drive out from his hewlett packard comp. put it in his new computer and when he poot his win98 boot disk in it went through the format process but when it completed the format it said it was unable to install windows on the hard drive. So i took it out of his comp and put it in mine. It shows nothing on the hard drive. As far as i can tell it is completely erased. Why then can he not install windows on it.

After a power failure the computer which is running on Window XP (Home Edition) does not boot up. I press the power button it takes me to the Windows XP screen and shuts down. (Then it restarts, and the process starts all over again) I have tried pressing f10 and f8 to access safemode and that does not work. Do any of you have any ideas of what the problem coudl be?

I want to upgrade my computer to be able to play The Sims 2. When I play it on my computer now the graphics move really choppy and slow, and they look terrible. It took me like an hour just to get it on my computer. I don't know what my graphics card is or what it is thats making my game run so badly. All I know is that I have an Intel Celeron Processor (2.40 GHz) 224 mb of RAM, and a 30 gb hard drive. What makes games run smoothly. If you need more of my PC specs put it in your answer and also tell me how to get to them please. I'll add it to details to help. Also how much will i have to shell out for the upgrade. I know that its a lot of questions in a question but I'd really appreciate your serious answer

Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: \system32/hel.dll
Please reinstall a copy of the above file.

Ok, what happened was my computer froze (i'm using a different cpu now), after I could not get it to respond I shut it down by holding down the power button, when i powered it up again i got that message. I booted with the windows xp cd, i had three options, enter, r, or exit. I'm at the point now where i've tried to 'repair' with the boot cd but all that does is give me access to a command prompt. I'm trying to get the required file off the cd and onto my computer so I can use it again!

My computer will not boot normally! All I have access too is a command prompt. I do not know where the file is stored on the cd, that is part of the problem or i believe i could copy it to my computer with a 'expand' command...

I'm looking for any kind of information, links, expert advice,general help...

Its too small for the slot and went deep in when I tried to pull it out. Now I cant even touch it. Is there anyway I can get it out without having to get someone to dismantle my CPU?

hey, i wanted to ask if anyone knew the psu on this gateway desktop?
The reason i ask is that i want to install a graphics card (in the 200-250$ range, already know what i want) and wether i would need a new psu or not.
Thanks in advance!

This is my second Dell and I thought it would be as good as the first one was. Windows Vista is horrible! I can't even use AutoCad on it! The computer seems slower and more bogged down, and it's brand new! Does anyone know how I can return the computer, and if it is a tough process?

Ive never really owned my own Mac but I cannot stand windows anymore and im ready for a change. Im thinking about buying a used G4 466Mhz 512md RAM 30gb HD and OS X 10.4. I only use my computer for going on the internet and sometimes photo editing but other than that mostly internet based stuff. Would that be ok for a first time mac owner? Also what questions should I ask the seller.
