Hi. I've I just bought myself a new hard drive and installed windows onto it. My older hard drive had windows crash, but still has all my files with the same settings, etc. The trouble with this is that I cannot access most of my files on the old hard drive as I had set a simple access...

Good stuff guys. Wow, hard drive prices have really fallen from back in the day. A 250 gig. Sata II 16mb buffer for $95 CND! woo hoo!

Yes, I think I got that. What your bascially saying is the memory point locations have been erased and the hard drive doesn't know what is where. Programs I can reinstall, no big there. Anyway of getting the TOC back in order? Is that what the windows repair option is meant to do? Just out of...

Nope. I did not format recently. It's been formatted the first time I installed windows and never again. This is great news! What a relief. I'm on to getting a new hd and I have already bookmarked that data recovery program for the future. Well, thanks for taking time out and helping me...

Amazing! I'll get another hd and install windows on it. So in essense, I should be able to access my original hd regardless of no OS on it right? Would it just show up as one of the drives in my computer or do I have to do something to more to get access? I mean, just identify both the hd's in...

Thank for the help guys. This is my current situation. I tried to install window and the partition was found and the exact size of what it was. However, windows xp will not load or repair. I would more than likely have to reinstall and there isn't much space to create another partition, hence I...

Thank you, I am about to try just that. Any recommendations on the data recovery software? Music, videos all can be downloaded again, that is not my concern. I need the pics and documents that are immensely important. Thanks again baronvongogo, I'll let you guys know how it goes. I'm still open...

Hi. Just this morning my dad managed to "install" windows on my computer which already had windows xp running perfectly. Let me elaborate. A few day's ago I had put the xp os cd in the drive and forgotten about it. This isn't a problem because I never turn my computer off, only stand by. Somehow...

What are your computer specs? F.E.A.R. is quite a spec demanding game. It puts quite an impact even on good rigs. From what I can tell, your computer is very likely the problem. You can also try reverting the video settings to low quality, as is with the sound. Close any running programs/hidden...

Where/when exactly will these show up? Any idea? I could deal with a couple of ad's for that price. Buying multiple OS's proves quite costly. And yes, I'm stingy.

I concur. It runs the less demanding games like a charm. Did have loading times prolonged a bit for hl2 and stuff, but a simple, very small increment to performance by overclocking did the trick. Must say one of the best mid-ranged cards at the time I bought it (Now you can get a 6600 GT in the...

Good information. Learned something here.

Not really. I leave the slide somewhat open and notice a difference of about 5-10 degrees. It is however more prone to dust and the like.

Understandable. But still, we're talking about 64GB, which is a major step up. Given that something proprietary would have 2/4/... GB per stick, still would need a hell of a lot of banks for it to add up to be 64GB. There's got to be more to it than that. Or please excuse my blabing if this was...

Ofcourse they do. Not to mention, they are relatively cheaper than dual-layers. You can find a reasonable quaility single layer burner for as less as $45 CND now. But given the option, I would suggest the dual layer burners if price isn't that much of a priority as functionality is.
