I have an old Dell computer of mine that the motherboard went out on. My grandfather has a old gateway of his that the harddrive went bad on. He forgot to keep his xp serial # so he just bought a new computer. I was wondering if I could take my hard drive from my dell (That already has xp on it and everything) and get it to work in the gateway. I tried but it woudn't boot up. The settings on the hard drive is set to single drive and is installed correctly. It will not let me go into any safe mode either. I was figuring I could go into safe mode and just get all the drivers for the computer. Is this even possible to do? I also do not have a hard copy of xp. I searched all over the net couldn't find anyone saying you could/couldn't do this so thanks for any help I really appreciate it!

How easy is it to upgrade a processor? At the moment I have a Pentium 4 Prescott 3.06ghz on a MSI MS-7174 motherboard, socket LGA 775. (I sound like I know what I'm talking about but I'm just copying and pasting!) Could I install the new pentium core 2 duo's like the E6600 or E6400. If so how hard is it? ie. will I have to reinstall windows? is it plug and play etc... Answer in lamens terms please!

My two year old Packard Bell will not work this is the problem

I start it up and it says a windows 32 file is corrupted or missing. Reinstall this file.......Where do I get this file?

I tried using my Master CD from another Packard Bell and this is what happened

It loaded up and it told me to enter my computers serial number. So I enteredt the numbers from the sticker on the back of the computer. Then it went to a blue screen with a white bar at the bottom stating OemsSetup V4.21 and did nothing

What is the problem and how can I fix it?

I'm considering buying a portable hard drive. I don't particularly care for the 100000000GB versions advertised by many manufacturers, although I would like somewhere around 20-80GB of space. This week in the ads, I found two deals, one from Circuit City, and the other from BestBuy, advertising Maxtor and Western Digital portable drives, respectively. They both offer 60GB of space, although the Maxtor costs only $40 with a $50 rebate and $10 instant-off, while the WD costs $70 with $30 instant-off.

My question is this: Is Maxtor more reliable than Western Digital?

I am also unsure about buying Maxtor simply because it got bought out by Seagate. Would customer support simply go away? Or will it still be around in the years to come? Thanks!
