I have this old crusty Fujitsu Lifebook C with a physically damaged hard drive. The hard drive in the laptop now is a discontinued item, and is proving rather difficult to find (part # MHM2200AT). I can, however, find numerous other hard drives that fit the 2.5" form (for instance, the MHV2040AT), but they use different interfaces. The old hard drive used Ultra ATA/66, and the newer drives use ATA 7. Would I be able to mount a hard drive using the ATA 7 interface in a laptop whose previous hard drive was Ultra ATA/66?

I'm pretty sure it'll work fine, but I'd rather get a second opinion before I shell out the $$, know what I mean? :)

I would love a new macbook, the new hewlet packard laptop, or possibly toshiba?
I've never had a laptop and looking for opinions on the best one I could buy.
I mainly use my computer for music, movies and pictures.
I would love something fast, and easy to travel with the wireless internet.

Hello all, I'm on a budget of $400 and I'd like to build (or if possible, buy) a laptop. Now before you laugh I'd like to mention a few other things:
I'm happy as long as it's 50 lbs or less (but must be transportable, so it can't be too large)
I don't care if it looks ugly, just as long as it works
I have a desktop computer here that I can use for spare parts (lots of good stuff on here, someone wants to throw it out)
So, can anyone give me instructions?

many thanks,

-Crystle

Hi All,
I have an Inspiron 1150 and it looses the power connection every so often. I used to have to wiggle the power cord a little so it would recognize it but that does not work anymore. I first thought it was the AC adopter itself and bought a new one but it did not help. Someone told me that the AC power port (I think this is what it is called) needs to be replaced. I tried to disassemble the machine but it looks to be sealed. Does anyone knows to open the machine without smashing it?

Thanks a lot for your help.

I'm a sophmore in highschool and i'm looking into getting a Mac because they are number one for graphic design, typography, 3d art, logos, etc. But I'm having trouble deciding what kind to get, I definitely like something thats portable, but I'm willing to get something else. So which is the best for me, MacBook Pro, Macmini, iMac, or MacPro?

Hi. recently my laptop crashed and ever since then windows will not start up and my dvd drive decided to stop working. when i boot up it will get to the windows loading screen and then suddenly a blue screen will come up( it disapears to fast to read anything of it though) and my laptop will restart and always do the same. when i try to boot in safe mode it will get up to a file called mup.sys and then restart. The weird thing is that when i take the same HD and put it in another laptop it will work perfectly. i have tried putting a working other HD on my laptop but still wont work. could the dvd be causing this? if not what is the problem. any help anyone?
