How do you move a XP operating system from my HP pc to a pc that I am building. The XP on my HP came with it and I don't want to have to buy another XP software for over a hundred bucks. Thanks!

I have 4 USB Ports in my PC. All the 4 ports have stopped functioning immediately today. I have tried all the methods given in yahoo answers earlier of going to Device Manager, reinstalling the drivers, removing alll devices from USB Ports, putting off the PC and power etc etc and blahm blah and blah. Is it possible that the Universal Serial Bus has gone faulty on the mother board? Some intelligent answers please from hardware experts.

I'd prefer one that doesn't come with a lot of useless crap.

sometimes, it says NTLDR is missing. or, it just reboots while displaying the Windows XP logo, ending in a never ending cycle of booting and rebooting. one time, the dreaded blue screen appeared during start up, saying that i had to turn off caching in the BIOS, whatever that meant. most of the time, to fix the problem, i had to format the drive and reinstall the OS. the pc can now start up properly, but it makes me choose which OS to use, even though the only one installed is Windows XP Pro. Is there a better way to fix this? Why is it like this? What should I do to prevent this from furthing happening? GBs of valuable data have been lost because of this. I need your help.
My OS is Windows XP Pro SP2
80GB HDD
512MB RAM
if that can help.

I have installed an Intel mother board and have a few issues with it. I called the Intel Support and was hung up on 6 times when I finally talked with someone I could hardly understand him with his accent. They were no help. I tried there web site support and when It looked like I may have found an answer the web page could not be found.
Has anyone else had this problem and if so where else have you found trouble shooting for an Intel Mother Board.

I just want to run a single computer simulation programme and not interested in the enhanced performance of the duo processor of multitasking. I just want to know which of the two is faster?

Intel® Viiv™ Pentium® D 925 Dual Core Processor (3.00GHz,800MHz,2x2MB cache) with 2048MB 533MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x1024]
or
Intel® Viiv™ Core™ 2 Duo E6320 Processor (1.86GHz,1066MHz,4MB cache) with 2048MB 667MHz Dual Channel DDR2 SDRAM [2x1024]

On the surface, the Pentium D processor is faster, i.e. more processing power but limited by the FSB speed compare to Core Duo, which also has a faster Memory. In the end, which one is faster?

Hey people. I have an HP computer and I've had if for about 6 months. It works ok, but the only problem is that it won't read or play any discs. When you put a computer game into the drive thingy, the green light blinks over and over and then it stops and nothing happens. It used to work and play audio CDs when I first got it, but now it's just a piece of crap. Do I need a new drive?? If so, then how much are they? How do you put it into the computer, do you need a professional-computer-person to do it for you? and does that cost money, too??
