I have this Win XP Home computer that was working fine, suddenly some blue screen appeared, it said that the component UNMOUNTABLE_VOLUME_BOOSTER had a problem, I can't even get to the login screen, I tried starting it in Safe Mode, but the same blue screen appears, I tried to go to the last good known configuration and same screen appears, I tried going to the setup screen to disable the components but I can't get to it, I AM pressing it at the right time and the right button, but it still won't let me get to the setup screen. I opened it to see if something was wrong but I found nothing. I know how to open a computer, what to look for, and pretty much everything about it inside, I have built computers before so I know I didn't mess anything up. This was the first time I opened it. And...some more details...I bought it from my aunt that lives in Mexico, the computer fails the Genuine Windows test, it has had sooo many viruses, it only has one stick of RAM, it has a 16Gb hard drive.

I want to buy a new computer, and I've noticed that the barebones computers are cheaper. I want an awesome gaming computer, but I don't want to pay thousands for it. What is a barebones computer? What would I have to do if I bought a barebones computer? Do you know any good places to get an affordable one?

I’m getting ready to enroll in the Art institute online. I’ll be working with programs like 3ds max, Maya, After effects, and Premiere. I want to spend around $2000 to $3000 for a good computer. I’ve prices some quad core Dells and after tricking them out with 2 monitors and 4 gigs of ram and some other stuff it’s over $4,000 I checked out some Alienware computers with similar specs and they are about $300 cheaper. Spending around $4000 for a computer seems to be too much. I know a quad core extreme must be the fastest processors they are so expensive. So my question really is what is better a regular quad core or a duo core extreme.

My computer runs Windows XP SP2. I have a IBM 60G hard drive as primary drive (IDE0) and just bought a Seagate ST3750640A drive. My intention is to use the new Seagate drive as the primary drive and discard the old IBM drive. I used the DiscWizard program to transfer the files and clicked on the "Use the new drive as boot drive and discard the old drive" option. After the reboot, my computer recognized both drives with their correct settings (IBM as primary and Seagate as slave and with both as having the correct sizes of 60 GB and 750GB). The BIOS recognized both drives at IDE0 and IDE1 as "hard drive".
I then remove the old IBM drive and change the Seagate jumper to the master setting and connect the first (black) IDE connector that used to be connected to the IBM drive to the Seagate drive as this connector is used for the master drive. I also change the BIOS setting to auto detect on the IDE0 and off on the IDE1 positions. The BIOS now says both drives as "unknown devices".

Windows XP or Vista For my Aunties, Teenagers 1st Computer What's Best?

It is my Aunties first Home PC that she is about to buy from Dell, it's a pentium 3gig dual core processor, 20" flat screen, 360 gig hard drive, 1gig Ram, mainly Teenagers are going to use it.

She has a choice of XP or Vista that comes with it, which should she get, most people we know use XP thats why I am thinking get that in case she needs to share programes or fix any issues.

Thank you

I am ordering a new application/file server and I am wondering how a Dual Core Intel® Pentium®D 925, 2x2MB Cache, 3.0GHz, 800MHz FSB compares with a Dual Core Intel® Xeon® 3040, 2MB Cache, 1.86GHz, 1066MHz FSB. I have minimum requirements of a Pentium D 2.8 GHZ, will the xeon meet this? From what I have read I believe it will, but specifics would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hello and welcome. I have a small question to ask of my media center. It is a windows XP with a light scribe cd burner on the top of my modem and on the bottom it says DVD-ROM. Everytime I use a writtable cd it does not support it. I paid a little over 2 thousand for my pc and would like to use that moneys worth on it. I also would like to know what is the difference between +rm and -rm? I have people telling me so many different stories. I have made a call where i bought the pc and asked what i use the DVD-ROM for and they told me its only to play dvd. I can do that on my light scribe cd burner also so why do i need one on the bottom. Any proffesional answers would be helpful.

I know that the fan turns on to cool off the cpu, but it seems like it keeps on turning on more frequently than ever before. About every five minutes or so, and I am not doing much. It has been like this for several days now, but I do not want to do recovery. Any suggestions to what it could be?
