Desktops - October 2007

I am trying to partition my Hard Drive, so that I can run Windows XP and Windows Vista (Vista on the new partition). I want to gradually move to Vista without having to clear everything off my HD right away.

i have a emachines T3624 desktop computer (p-o-sh btw)
when it is running, it is extremely loud, i can hear it from another floor!. im pretty sure its the fan thats loud. Ive had this problem for the last 2 yrs. i sleep in the same room, and i want to let it run at night while its doing scans and defragmenting and large downloads and things like that, but i sleep in the same room, so i want to make it shutup. someone told me that i need to clean the fan, then it will stop making the sound, but i dont want to open it up because i have no technical capabilities and know nothing about computers. also i dont have time to buy compressed air to clean it with. is there a way to clean it without compressed air? could it be an issue with another computer part? HELP!

Windows XP Home

What should I do? The system worked properly until now.

I had problems coming out of standby so had to force reboot. It prompted me for the system disk and after going to repair with the CD it says:

"Setup did not find any hard disk drives make sure they are powered on and properly connected to your computer, and that any disk-related hardware configuration is correct this may involve running a manufacturer supplied diagnostic or setup program."

"Setup cannot continue. To quit setup press F3"

it's random too.changed cpu fan.. to stock intel heatsink running at stock speed. freezes up on boots... first time it boot ok 2nd no ,, after a while 3rd it booted.. before i couldn't boot at all but now that i replaced the heatsink it's boots randomly which is still better than before . what could be causing this ... i know it's the cpu but is it defective??? it failed the burnin test (dos)before i changed the fan. If i gett it to boot into windows i do a stress test it doesn't even die. (well i did it for like 1/2 an hour..) peaked at62 with core temp.. still.... in bios before it said it was 47-50 C even so it should still boot.. is it the motherboard??? how do i test the motherboard if it is?? i know how to test everything else but this....
da whole system is like it's like 3 months old
and it's not memory , hd, or graphics card. I did a test on all those except for graphics but if it's graphics it should just blue screen not freezewhat i mean by freeze is it goes fast then slow

What is the best desktop under $800?

I have looked at the hp a6230n, which has the following:
3 gigs ram
400 gb hard drive (7200 rpm)
AMD processor 5600+ at 2.8 ghz
Nvidia 6150 graphics (not the best...)
Also includes lightscribe which is pretty nice.

Any ideas will be accepted

just curious.

i remember seeing a few years back on HSN, a systemax pc with a 1.4ghz cpu, and i thought that was fast. its amazing to see how much technology has progressed.
