Disabling S.M.A.R.T. won't accomplish anything. The reason your Windows install is failing is because the drive itself is failing. My guess is...
It definitely sounds like it's done then, yes. :(
Commodore Pet.. and an Apple II. Later on it was the infamouse Commode Door 64 and then IBM XT.
I wouldn't waste the money, personally. Nothing trumps experience, and "paper smarts" really doesn't cut it. Your customers will only care if...
There are a couple of factors involved here. First, the brand of the powersupply. Just because it "says" 350W doesn't mean it actually is....
Yup.. Which is why it's really crappy when by default the icon hides itself in the system tray (the user has to change this manually). Also,...
You can do it, but I've seen wireless G cards get in trouble with wireless N routers sending mixed mode.. Frankly, wireless N is a waste of...
Either the USB key is pooched (which you'd find out quick enough on the other machine) or your USB ports aren't giving enough current, which I've...

No. Hehe. I own a computer repair/sales shop. This is what I use on a daily basis to do my job (and one of them is a home computer as well.. an...
In order of best to worst (includes our experience on the bench): Asus Alienware Fujitsu LG Macbook Pro (ca 2007 and newer) HP/Compaq...
Disable the power management on the wireless adapter. It can really cause havoc on some adapters.
My servers have resume last state after power failure option in the BIOS. In other words, I pull the plug on the server, plug it back in and it...
They're available all over the place. It's a hideously gray area, though. You're not supposed to make illegal copies of the disk. The argument...
search your \windows and \program files folders for MAPI32.DLL and MSMAPI32.DLL. Rename any files found and start Outlook again. Now Outlook...
One thing I can tell you... If you did hook the SATA power and 4 pin molex up at the same time, chances are far better than average that you fried...
