I'm wondering if anyone has good experience with a basic virtual desktop switching application that's stable and has not been a pain to use. I just need something that will let me have some windows on one desktop, and more windows on another, and be able to hotkey each desktop easily. There's no...

I'm just wondering if CompactFlash drives currently being produced now are still subject to the limited number of write cycles (~100,000 I think) or has that been fixed. I run a little bit of BitTorrent and it's probably reducing the hard drive's lifespan (constant accesses). It does have a...

This is an external drive; so the motherboard's BIOS is relevant? I'm running this from a laptop, Dell 600m, purchased in September 2005, so I'm assuming it will be okay?

I recently ran a diagnostic from DLG on an old Western Digital USB external hard drive and received the following: 06-Quick Test on drive 3 did not complete! Status code = 07 (Failed read test element), Failure Checkpoint = 65 (Error Log Test) SMART self-test did not complete on drive 3! The...

They sell this little adapter that you can use to hook up the laptop harddrive directly to your desktop. Then you can copy the files over. I don't know the exact name, but it was talked about in a PC World magazine in one of the issues from the last three or so months.

Stretch001 is right. Just uninstall the Primary IDE Channel from Device Manager and Windows will reinstall it. I've done it in WinXP.

I did this. I turned off the PC, unplugged all the cables from the problematic CD drive, then booted into Windows. Then I shut down again, and plugged the CD drive cables in again, then when I booted up it worked. If that doesn't work maybe repeat the whole process but remove the CD drivers and...

Is it popping out whenever you try to close it? I had this problem with a LiteOn and I managed to fix it with others' help - I could give the details if it's this problem. :) - Eli

I have one hard drive on the primary channel; this one works. The second hard drive, a Maxtor, is connected on the secondary channel; this one has problems. They're both on the same IDE channel, too. The second hard drive is split into several partitions. One day I was running a game and then...
