I heard that on an apple you can drag applications from the finder window onto an external hard drive, and then you'd have the whole program copied onto your hard drive so you would then be able to install that program on another apple machine, is this correct?

I plan to purchase motherboard, case, power supply, memory and hardisk separately and build my PC by myself. But I need advise if this is possible for 'intermediate level' user like me. Or is it better to buy a pre-packaged PC in the mall?

A friend of mine gave me his old Gateway computer for my children. It did not come with any kind of software at all. It currently has Windows ME on it but it is XP capable as I have checked its specs. My question is, how do you completely reformat these types of hard drives? There is usually a protected partition that contains recovery material or something similar. If I did a typical reformat, the unprotected partition would be erased but the protected one would still be there. Is there anyway I can reformat all of this completely and have a one partition hard drive?

For space, it would be easier if I stood my computer on it's side, instead of the base. Would that affect the pc? I got an IBM for $10 at a yard sale, and it works OK. It's got a newer operating system, and my old PC is windows ME. The IBM is 2000 professional.

I need to convert my ntfs d: to fat32. My c: used ntfs, the main reason I need my d: to change to fat32 is because the application I use that came with computer cant create backup for me unless its fat32.

The size of d: is 35.9GB I tried doing the format way through command prompt, but at end it said NTFS is too big to become fat32.
The d: that I want to change to fat32 is completely formatted, there is nothing on it, so I am not worried about having to lose data or anything. I am using win xp. Please if you can help that would be great.
