Does hard drive have time or stamp of when it was made?

I like to know this because I attached a hard drive about few month ago. I bought it from a recycle computer warehouse. The hard drive size was 20gb but I know other hard drive with that similar size tend to work still. I was watching a movie and suddenly it slow so suddenly. I restart the computer since there were nothing to do. The computer's hard drive is still slow but I was fortunate that I setup a network. I downloaded a test to see what wrong with the hard drive, however I am not sure how old it really is whether it might make difference. This to me it like checking the milk to see when it expire or why it expire.

Any comments?

Please no criticism about my grammar because I have disability.

Dell Dimenson 4100 motherboard form factor.

The motherboard is a Intel D815EEA AAA10383-407.

I am thinking about gutting it and just keeping the case with all new parts. I know the power supply is proprietary because the motherboard power cable is unique only to Dell. Also is the power button and reset button proprietary as well?

I am trying to get some information about adding a second hard disk drive to my Compaq Presario SR1303WM. I already have a 40GB drive installed, but I would like to add a 20GB drive also. Does this second drive need an operating system installed on it? How can I use this drive for additional storage?

I have a PC that I use for storage, and for playing downloaded content on my TV; it has two 40gb IDE hard drives which are on the same IDE channel. Is there a way in Windows XP to create one logical 80gb hard drive from the two without setting them up in some kind of RAID array?

Instead of having a 40GB C: drive and a 40GB D: drive I would just like to have one 80GB C: drive.

Is there some way to do this with mount points or anything? I'm also willing to have a small (6GB or so) C: drive with just windows on it, and create a ~74GB D: drive.

I'm shooting for seamlessness, so that I can just dump all kinds of files into one folder without having to disseminate them between two hard drives.

it said that there was a problem with the scanner drivers, I uninstalled
all the software for the machine then re-installed it and it still does the same thing. Is there anything to do to remove any trace of the machine so I can do a fresh install without the recurring problem?. The driver disk is in good shape, was only used once and put in a sleeve and put away immediately ( no scratches or anything ) and it worked fine the first time.
