I have a client who uses his laptop in the car. When he is driving down I95 in Philly (between Cottman and Bridge streets), his PC reboots. This happens at the same spot every time. Anyone know why something like that would happen?

The DVD set I bought comes with 3 DVDs, and only the first one plays successfully on my computer. Everytime I insert the other two, I recieve a message "No Disc in Drive (d:). I have two different DVD decoders on my computer, "Power DVD" and something called "InterActual". Neither works. The region is set right...I think. My computer just won't react two these last two DVDs. This isn't the first time its happenes, my computer is picky about DVDs...O ya, and neither DVD has a single scratch on it. What's wrong? What can I do? They also don't work on my regular DVD player...but I think that one is just broken.

I wanna have an extra storage for my laptop, people have told me these solutions:

1) Get a rack for IDE Hard disks with usb support to have the maximum storage, maximum speed, cheapest solution..

2) Get an external usb hard disk for but you won't be able to run the full speed if attached to the desktop computer through usb..

I didn't get a specific answer about the speed of copy and paste in the both of them when connected with usb, is it like flash memory or faster or slower??
