Everytime it starts up, it doesn't go anywhere but it says that some file like WINDOWS/CONFIG32/SYSTEM/SETUP or something like that is either missing or corrupt.
My brother took my computer a week ago to fix someone else's hard drive and I didn't think he'd break it because he's on the Geek Squad but now it won't work.
And it says to press "r" to begin repair but everytime I do it just restarts and goes back to the same screen.
If he screwed my computer up, I'll seriously hurt him.
So how deep of crap is it in?
Will I be able to save my files without having to take it to a computer expert and pay a crapton of money?

I have only one hd 85Gb. I followed the instructions given in the other posts (http://au.answers.yahoo.com/answers2/frontend.php/question?qid=20070912125332AAFqbGX)
and checked if the plastic jumper is at the correct set of spins -> its like here [ : | : : . ] then I checked if the hd is connected properly. It's connected to IDE1 connector and CDROM to the secondary IDE2 connector on the mother board. In BIOS I set primary IDE master as hd, and secondary IDE slave as CD/DVD, then I left with nothing secondary IDE master , and in secondary IDE slave there were some letters and numbers like GCR8523B whatever it means. After rebooting the error disappeared but the comp started to rebooting over and over again. I can't open BIOS anymore as anytime I press the buttons on the keyboard it's not reacting but just doing the same which is coming to a moment when it reboots again. When it starts I can see : auto detecting prim.master-hard disk,sec. master-not detected,sec.slave-CDROM HELP ME PLS

I am going to take some desktop computer components from US on an International flight.

I was confused as to whether I should carry them in my 'Check-in' baggage or as 'Carry-on' baggage.

I'm taking with me these components: RAM, Motherboard, Intel CPU, Video Card, Wireless Mouse, Hard Disk.

If any of you guyz have travelled before with such stuff, plz advice me as to whether is it safe to put these parts in 'check-in' baggage? Do any of these break or get damaged if you carry them in 'Check-in' baggage?

Also, if I carry these individual parts (not assembled) as Carry-on luggage, will I have some problem with the airport security people? (F.Y.I. these are generally available, cheap to average cost components.) Are these allowed to be taken as carry-on luggage? If not, then which of these is not allowed?

Thanx a lot in advance.

Could I take the RAM from a windows 98 SE PC Net and install it on a 98 HP Pavilion? It only has like 64 Mb of RAM using just one slot, so could I put another stick in? Its RAM is most likely just single, old fashion style.

Would appreciate an answer by someone with knowledge of specific computer RAM designs.

Thanks

the MMU compares the incoming (virtual) address to the limit register, causing a fault if it is too large. An alternative design would be to first add the virtual address to the base register and then compare the result to the (physical) address in the limit register. Are the two methods logically equivalent? Are they equivalent in performance?

i just bought a ATI radeon 2600XT and i want to return it cuz its not what i expected it to be. But the problem is that i already opened it and i read there return policy about only exchanging it if you already opened it. I was wondering if theres a way around it or if anyone experienced returning an open video card.

i installed the new Call Of Duty 4 pc game on my laptop, it installed ok, but when it came to playing it, it came up with the message saying: video card or driver doesn't accelerate transform & lighting - video card or driver doesn't support UBYTE4N vertex data, does this mean i need a new video card? or do i just need updates.
The video card is a: Intel(R) 82945G Express Chipset Family
Any ideas guys

Hello, I have this ATI Radeon X1300 Video Card, I like it a lot, even though it sometimes flickers the screen when I switch between resolutions, The only problem with this card is that, ITS NOISY!!! The fan is the one which is making the most noise out of this card. I removed the plug for the fan and it seems to improve the noise, but I am just scared that it will burn out my card. Is there a fan for the ATI Radeon Video Card which is EXTRA QUIET, like my Processor Fan, Case Fans, etc. ? Sorry for sounding like a pussy here lol.
