In my attic I have an older Win 95 based Gateway that won't boot. I want to resuscitate it so I can use it to each myself Linux as I'm such a clutz I'm sure to screw up the PC I'm using now if I tried something like that.

So what I need to know is why it won't boot. What it does when I hit the power button is go through the motions of booting up to a certain point, then nothing. The operating system won't load, and I notice that the hard drive pitch doesn't seem quite high enough.

My guess is that the power supply is malfunctioning to some degree and is no longer sufficient to juice the hard drive 100%, but I'm a bit of a novice so appreciate if someone would set me straight if I'm heading in the wrong direction.

My laptop, a dell d800 with 1gb of ram and 60gig hard drive on xp pro is acting kind of weird. It's the hard drive actually. When I check out how much space is left it says that there's 6gig free. I don't understand what's talking up all of the space. My itunes has 14.72gb of music on it so it can't be that. I've deleted all videos and although I've got lots of word and pdf files there's no way they're taking up almost 40gb of space. I don't want to reformat if at all possible because I've heard the windows backup tool is pretty poor and I risk losing my data. Even if I do back it up I don't know how to get my library back onto my laptop from an external hard drive without running into some sort of glitch. I defrag often, use crap cleaner, and all that stuff but no luck. Suggestions???

Okay, my laptop only has 34GB of hard drive space, it doesn't have enough RAM to do anything with, and I'm planning on going to college in the fall and majoring in Computer Programming and minoring in Computer Maintainance. I don't think my delicate laptop is up to par with what I plan on doing.

My father broke his hard drive in his $2000 Dell laptop a few years ago. He specifically asked for a computer that he could use for gaming, and thus his wish was granted. So, surely his computer will have enough RAM to actually get things done.

I know only the basics about computers. Would I be able to slide the hard drive out of my laptop and put it into his, and it actually work? I mean, I know I'll still only have a 34GB hard drive, but maybe I'll have better RAM? I just need some help. If this won't work, please tell me how I can make my puny laptop beter without spending a lot of cash.

We need someone to pick them up quickly. All the monitors work. Some of the CPUs work some don't. Who would take them? We are downtown in Austin, TX.

My computer wont turn on, shot the wires with a multimeter and had no voltage out of any of the wires from the power source(not sure whats its called, where you plug the computer into the outlet). Checked the cord, its good. The computer is old anyways, wouldnt mind junking it but I have a ton of files I need off it (games/pictures/stuff) is there a way I can hook this hard drive to my laptop/another computer (Its a HP desktop if that helps, my mom has an HP as well, similar model but newer)
