JRosenfeld, I think chrism4074 is going this way as he does not have enough space to install programs on his primary partition [its 10 GB].
Looks like you are installing Windows fresh onto this hard disk. Yes, more or less but it does not involves so many steps.
You don't need to use fdisk, format in Windows now. Disk Management would do the job. Right click "My Computer "->Manage->Disk Management. Choose...
Could be. Before reformat I would suggest that you download & burn to cd the latest Linux based anti virus cd from...
Since when its doing that ? Did you update any software/hardware ? As you have assembled the system yourself, start by taking out a RAM at a time...
You can go for WD. Have been ok so far. But keep in mind that any hard disk can fail [& will fail eventually]. So a solid backup is the most...
What did Microsoft tell you for 3 hours & what did you do ?
Is everything running normal on the computer ? It could be many things besides virus. You have also not indicated clearly what you mean by AV...
You can mix the old & new RAM provided the board supports it. However, the system would use the lowest specifications of either RAM. In your case...

MIR11 most probably you won't find the exact motherboard, so there is no point in looking for the part no./model no. I would go out & search for...
On Vista or Win 7 there is no need to use 3rd party firewall. The built in firewall is fine & does a good job of keeping your computer safe. In...
That's why its called ADSL - Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line. Download & upload are not same [symmetrical].
Most probably a hardware problem. Try using a CD lens cleaner, if it fails time to buy a new one.
62 GB would only be a guess. Exact space would depend on the type of files compressed. Again the time would depend on the no.of files, type of...
IMO you can't dual boot a lower version when a higher version of Windows is already installed. You could do it the other way round, install XP...
You can safely disable anything which you don't use on regular basis like Adobe Reader startup, ITunes. In XP also disable File Indexing as it...
Other problems may include: 1. Unnecessary startup programs 2. Low disk space 3. Bad sectors in hard disks 4. Logical corruption on hard...
