I have bad sector on my HDD (which were discovered during the WIN XP installation)...my question is what is the fastest way to remove these sectors. I do not intend on "recovering them" or salvaging the data on them, I just want them to be fixed...what is the fastest solution...third party software...a HDD wiping utility?

I just bought a 8800GTS with 640MB. I seem to be getting really really poor performance in games such as FEAR and CS:S. The weird thing is that i can max everything in FEAR no probs at a resolution of 1280X1024 in the test thing it says that i have 0% under 40FPS and 100% over 40FPS which is good, but when i actually get round to palying the game i get jolt then smooth play, then more jolting. This happens in all of my games, like DOom 3, PRey, CS:S, only exepion would hvae to be wow. Any ideas anyone?? My system specs are:
AMD Athlon 3800+X2
1024 MB of ram (1gb)
400W PSU
IM running Windows Vista Ultimate
and ofcourse the BFG 880GTS 640MB.

IM stuck!

At the moment i am using a PC though in a few months i will be using both a Mac and a PC thus what would be a compatible file system which doesnt cause partitions. I heard that Fat 32 is only capable of 32gb though i am not sure.

I heard when you buy an Intel's processor, there will be a sticker under the heatsink, does that sticker do the same thing as thermal paste?

My pc spontaneously restarted it's self yesterday then would only come up in safe mode. I did a system restore(windows ME) and that fixed it but I was trying to locate the cause.
All I can find is a device manager conflict with my mouse port.
It reads Code 15 under the general tab and under the resourses tab it reads interrupt request 12
The pc shows a standard ps/2 port mouse with no problems and it also shows a ps/2 compatable mouse port which is where the problem conflict it.
the pc only has one mouse port.
any answers?

I have an optical mouse, and its plugged in correctly, its worked smoothly without a problem EVER.

All of a sudden when i turn on my computer or restart it, ot come back from the screensaver the mouse wont move - sometimes ctrl alt delete will unfreeze it, but ill load an internet page or a program and it will refreeze.

It always just freezes right in the middle of the screen,

This has only been happening since last night, and i've done or downloaded nothing new.

Help?

I'm on windows xp, on emachines and i take very good care of my computer.

Business looking to upgrade copier. Would love to be able to copy 24" x 30" plans without reducing. Currently have to reduce to 11" x 17". Output size larger than 11x 17 but smaller than 24 x 30 would still be better.

Not really looking for a copier that connects to the computer, but that wouldn't be a bad thing, either.
