I want to buy a 320gb internal hardrive for my computer, but i'm kind of confused as to how it will work.

Now, my C drive is almost completely full, and i know the new hardrive will just run off of another letter, like E, or F. but the thing is, i run The Sims 2 on my computer, with downloads and stuff. i was wondering if there was a way to get the sims 2, and maybe some of the music i have, onto the new drive without having to re install it or re download all of the things back into my game.

and if there is a way, will having the sims 2 run on a 320gb hardrive practically by itself help the game run any faster? even with all my downloads?

My dvdwriter was dead, it could just open and close, but no spinning of the cd/dvd inside and so no data.

So I plugged a new dvd-writer and configured it correcly into the bios.
This new dvd writer can read the TOC of the cd/dvd so I can see the data on the disc, but when it try to copy/open a file it just give me a I/O error. i/O is obtained even with Nero test, or Easy cd Creator drive test mode.

So I was wondering that maybe my secondary IDE channel of my MB is fried somehow.

Someone had the same problem ? Could you think about any test I can do ?

Any ideas appreciated!!

I started having trouble with my curser moving around the page by itself a couple weeks ago and thought the mouse went bad, so I bought a new one. It's a GE optical mouse. Today, it's really bad. It moves all over the page, highlights things, etc. It looks almost like someone else has control, but i know this isn't the case. Can anyone tell me what might be going on and how I could fix it? I'm running Win XP 2002 Professional SP2.
Thanks in advance!

I bought a new computer recently and it is supposed to have 1GB of RAM. When I view Properties in My Computer, the RAM is stated as being 768MB. Inside the machine are two sticks of 512MB PC2-4300 CL4 memory, which should in theory total 1024MB. I tried each stick individually without the other, and in Properties they were both listed as being 448MB of RAM. Even though they should be 512MB each, the total of two 448MBs is 896MB, yet together they're totalling 768MB. I'm a bit stumped by this.

My machine is an Acer Aspire T180. There are four slots for memory; two are brown and two are orange. The sticks are beside each other in the two brown slots. Does anybody have any ideas what's wrong?

MY current PC RAM is 256mb DDR PC2700 Samsung, I have checked with www.crucial.com that my pc has one empty slot in which I may insert a DDR PC2700/PC3200 RAM to increase its performance, but one slot can only take 512mb. So I am about to purchase a new 512mb DDR PC2700 or PC3200 RAM, if I buy one from a different make like Kingston, will this affect my pc performance, or even not work? or does this not make a difference?
