Seeing how my old laptop harddrive does not work anymore, I was wondering

1) Can I install the harddrive, then run the recovery disks that came with my laptop to install a OS on it?
2) If not, do I have to purchase a Windows Vista?
3) And if I do have to purchase a Windows Vista, do I have to get the more expensive of the deal? (the full package, not upgarde version)
4) What Internal Notebook Hard drive is better? I see SATA and ATA and other things, and am confused?
5) My Laptop has intel Integrated Graphics extreme (something), and will that run Windows Vista properly? The store I am at only has Ultimate edition (i think that is what it's called, it is black)


Sorry for all the questions. =[

I have a Toshiba Satellite A105-S101 that was bought new 1 year ago. It came with a 4 cell battery (14.4V at 2000mAh) that lasted only one hour. I bought a replacement 8 cell battery (Not name Brand 10V at 4400mAh) and it lasted 2 hours. After 9 months this battery doesn't last very long. Only 30 min. Is the battery defective? I know batteries don't last forever, but this is redicules. I am thinking about buying another battery. Should I spend the extra money and get an new battery from Toshiba (8 cell 14V at 4000mAh) or can I spend half as much on a new (no name) brand with the same specs? I would consider mysleft a heavy laptop user and keep my laptop plugged in most of the time. Please help.

Hi, I've recently tried to open the bottom of my laptop, to upgrade my memory. I tried to screw open the screw on the memory case door, but I couldn't open it... and then I just kept trying to screw it open, and now the screw is all messed up, and my screw can't open it anymore, and I can't upgrade my MEMORY!!!

Does anyone know how to solve the problem of a broken screw? The screw has no more grip, so my tiny screwdrivers can be no use now....... PLEASE HELP ME!!!

I had to reinstall Windows XP on a Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop and after the reinstall the desktop now appears very small, centered in the middle of the screen with black all around it. In other words, at lower resolutions like 800 x 600 the desktop is not being enlarged to fill the maximum screen size which is 1600 x 1200. Does anyone have any idea what could cause this?

The college I am going to attend offers wireless internet service. Will I still be able to use the internet when I am not on campus, say when I'm home? Inside the dorms they have internet connection set-up for desktops. Is that same for laptops, can they also be connected like desktops instead of being wireless? Can laptops be easily connected to a printer? I also hear people complaining that laptops are slow. I won't be downloading games and lots of music, just basic research and typing? Will that make it slow? Lastly, will my laptop survive the four years I'm in college?

And thanks for all your help!

What is the difference between 802.11 g and 802.11g? Sometimes I can even see 802.11 a/b/g. I know it has something to do with wireless networks but what do the letters a,b or g mean. Thanks a lot for your answers !

Does anyone know what I need to do to totally remove everything from it and later reprogram it? It will not let me reinstall anything either.

I have a 12 inch laptop that overheats when it's turned on for a few hours. I would like to purchase a laptop cooler but I don't know much about them (brands, quality, etc.) Do you have any suggestions?

PS. I don't want to spend too much money but I don't want to get a cheap cooler either. Basically something at a reasonable price that works well.
