Reclaim missing laptop hdd space??

A year or so ago I opted for the 80 gig 7200 rpm hdd, rather than the 100 gig 5400 rpm, in my Dell XPS Gen 2 laptop, but only 52.7 gigs show up as total hdd space. I'm running out of hdd space and could really use that extra 20 gigs. Where did that hdd space go? Is it partitioned off for...

Is there such a thing as an external laptop CD enclosure??

I purchased a Dell XPS G2 laptop with a CD burner a couple of months ago and recently upgraded to a DVD/CD burner. Now I have a CD burner with no home. Is there an external USB 2.0 enclosure available?? If so, where?? Or should I sell it on ebay? Thanks, Tom

98SE & 200GB External USB 2.0 Hdd Problems!?!?

It's a brand new unused harddrive, just prepping it for use. I downloaded a scan disk/defrag utility that hopefully will work better than Win98's. This 98SE puter will become an XP machine in a few weeks, hopefully, so I am gonna add more memory.

Changing XP to not look like Win 98 anymore??

While employed as a designer at my last job I changed my workstation Windows XP Pro to look like Win 98. Now my former boss can't get it to revert back. He has repeatedly tried to change it back, but when the appropriate box is checked nothing happens. Right clicking on the start menu/ left...

NYPD Blue 1st season at bestbuy...get a $25 coupon for 24, die hard, or the shield dvd set

I forgot about David Caruso being in season 1 of NYPD Blue, it's almost enough to make me pass on the deal. Caruso is the most butt ugly, wimp, lame actor I have ever had the misfortune of laying eyes on. Can't stand him!
