I have a hard drive that has info on it and is NTFS. How can I connect it to a computer with an existing other hard drive with the OS just so that I can get the info off of this new/other hard drive?
I tried just plugging it in and everything, and it said, "Problem loading OS" or something like that, so I think it was trying to boot off of the wrong drive. BTW, my drive with the OS on it is SATA and the NTFS with info and no OS is IDE.

Okay well... I have a cowon D2 Mp3 player and it worked fine on my computer intill i reinstalled xp I went to plug in my mp3 player and it read it "cowon D2 disk, Massive storage device drive" blah blah so i was waiting for autoplay to come up..but it didnt so i went to my computer and i didnt see any drive assigned to it...So i went to diskmgmt.msc and tried assigning a drive too it...still didnt show in my computer but i could open it..but it wouldnt let me edit anything in the folder saying "wrong destination" and such..so I figured "maybe its just this" so i hooked up my usb drive into my comp to transfer the songs and id put them on at a friends house..but it wouldnt read any USB device...that has storage..I uninstalled the "massive storage device" a few times to let it reinstall but it didnt do anything....anyone know what I should do?

I bought the Sapphire Radeon X1950PRO 512MB DDR3 (PCI-E) awhile back, it's doing fine, however it should be doing alot better, seeing I get a few FPS (30's - 40's) and goes up to high 90's when there's nothing happening ingame on the Steam Source engine on Med/High. I run BF2 at Low on 64 player servers.

Hardware requirements (As said on box.)
450 Watt - power supply
AMD Athlon 64 / K7
Monitor : Hi- Reso MultiSync of multi-frequency monitor or any other type of VGA monitor
DFP or CRT display monitor.

Details..-
I bought this refurbished computer awhile back.
Sempron 3400 (Processer)
512 + 256 MB Ram (DDR1, 200MHZ because of a bad motherboard)
350 Watt power supply.


No, no viruses, I use NOD32, and CCLean, defrag alot. Yes, the video card is plugged into the power supply, in this order - Power supply -> CD drive -> Video card.

Hardware runs fine, ATI drivers updated to 7.12 (Latest).

I'm thinking I need to build a new computer, save the video card. Or save money by upgrading.
