Other - Hardware - October 2007

I have a 2002 Dell Computer with an 80GB Maxim hard drive that is hooked up conventionally (with the flat serial cord). Can I hook this up to get data from it via USB, and if so how do I convert the flat cord to USB output. I am a novice computer guy, but have to get some pictures out of this machine.
Thanks!

I have an old 40GB NTFS-formatted hard drive, and I want to install a dual-booted Linux setup. I think it would be a BIG pain in the neck to have to uninstall and reinstall everything.

Is there any (free) way to create another partition on my XP computer without having to reinstall my OS?

Or how it would look from the command prompt using the defrag command with a floppy with a few files.

I am just learning how to use the software and hardware, so hardware that is beginner friendly would be nice. Also I am building this computer from scratch, so this means I would like to know hard drives, etc.

Hi,I have a laptop and old computer.
I want to upgrade my laptop hard drive(HD) for now.
I want to know is my method safe/ok for upgrading my HD?

I'm currently have 20GB of HD and I want to upgrade it to 100+GB.

So I will buy an external hard drive case(by USB)
eg-
http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=SSD-2501HDD&cat=HDD

to copy my old HD to the new one.
Then I will replace the old hard drive inside my laptop for the new one.
1-So will my laptop be working again?
2-Is laptop hard drive different from normal computer?
or just the same size?

For some reason Windows thinks I have to reformat my second hard drive. Out of the blue it can't read it so it quickly wants to reformat it. I know doing so will erase everything....I know for a fact that untouched data is still there and can be recovered. My computer just needs a way to recognize it.....Windows can't do it....how can I save my HDD? I tried everything windows has to offer, but every program wants to reformat it.....I just need my computer to recognize it. The HDD is good, there is just an error somewhere. This happened to me once, but eventually solved it self.....I WILL NOT reformat, I just need a solution.

Weird, weird problem. I boot up the computer, fans spin, it beeps, etc and then about 6 seconds into the process, it looses power. Replaced the powersupply with another, larger-watt supply. No difference. Cleared the CMOS, no difference. Strangely, if I hold the restart button on the case in, it continues to boot up. The moment I let go of the restart button, it dies, no power...I'm about to clip the 2 wires from the restart button and solder them together if I can't find a more sophisticated approach.
