I recently got couple external hard rives to backup my personal data. I don't want someone to just be able to plug it in and access all my information. I was wondering if there was an effective convenient way to password protect a folder. I know I could zip and apply a password to it but this...
I'm looking at the WD support section and theres a software called "Spindown or Stop Utility version". Is this the software I need to download in order to stop the sleep mode?
Might be a stupid question but can I just throw away Hardrives (internal) in the trash? I have a couple old drives that are old/broken that I need to get rid of.
I just got 2 externals (western digital 500gb) via USB and it feels like my computer is running much slower. Also one of the drives goes into sleep mode every hour or so and its annoying cause i keep having to turn the button back on, the WD Rep said try plugging it in a surge protector and it...
Today I started my computer up and before Windows loaded up it said something liek S.M.A.R.T has detected an error in your hard drive in IDE 3 that could corrupt your hard disk and that you should back up now.
Whats an IDE 3? also is this something serious that I should start backing...
Whenever I download a video or view some large photos I get a cannot play cause the file has been corrupted notice. For example if I download a .zip or a large video file it wont open cause the file has been corrupt. But for some reason when I download/upload through FTP it works fine. Does...
I've been downloading various media/files lately, wmv files - zip files - etc... It seems like almost all of them are corrupted and I can't extract them or play them. I'm not sure if its the problem with my internet or hardrive.. I download from various sources so it shouldnt be the servers...
I'm trying to create a network that runs through our linksys router, I ran the network setup wizard in windows and at the end it told me to create a network setup disk. However none of our computers have Floppy drives, is tehre a way to set this up without a floopy disk?
My "H: Drive" just got renamed to "THE DARK SIDE | SEDRA | DISK1 (H:)". I'm not sure what happend it was when my brother was on the internet and I"m not sure what he did. Like when I go to My Computer the hardrive is renamed and the logo is different. Did I just get a virus?
My Mom somehow forgot her User password for her Windows XP account so she's been using Guest login. I'm trying to install some virus and spyware removal programs since its running really slow but I'm unable to do so since its not under the administrative account. Is there a way to retrieve the...
Try sizing down on applications/multimedia you dont need as well. Some applications automatically launch and hog up resources. Also invest in some faster hardrives, especially the drive where windows is installed. From my personal expierences the Raptors or SATA 3.0 drives are much faster than...
My friend just built his computer but its running pretty slow, it's not spyware or virus anything since he just installed it.

I just got into the BIOS (it was esc then F1), I set the priority boot to CD-Rom. When I restarted it goes into "Intel boot agent fe" and then says "media test failure check cable" and then starts windows... Is it because the cd drive is an external? The laptop didnt come with an internal cd...
My mom has this Toshiba laptop that I'm trying to system restore since it has so many spywares and viruses, she forgot her windows xp password so shes been using guest ever since.
The problem is the system restore disk won't automatically bootup on start up? I see no options for the systems...
Also do you think Dual 24' would be too wide? I"ve seen most people use dual 19's and 20's but I think dual widescreen would be too much. Anyone expierenced dual widescreen monitors at the same time?
Not sure if this is the right forum or not but does anyone know Costco's return policy? I ordered a Dell 2405 LCD several months ago online and I'm planning on getting 2 2407s instead since they don't sell the 2405s any longer. Would I be able to return the 2405 still?
would a splitter work fine for lets say up to 5 drives? or would it be better to get a cable that plugs in from my power supply, and if so what is that cable called?
I have this antec neohe 500 powersupply (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16817103940) that only gives me two of the "ide power cables" sorry I dont know what they're called (link below, ide power cable on the far right)...
If you like it and feel like you paid a good price for it then keep it. No reason to ask others for their opinions lol. With having said that I upgraded from a 19' to the 2405 couple days ago and I can't ever imagine myself going back to 19'. But thats a big jump from a 17' crt to a 20' lcd :)
I already have a 2405 widescreen and I want to get another display so I can dual view. However having two 24' would be expensive and I think it would be too wide so I'm planning on getting another 20' flat screen instead. I was wondering if having both widescreen and flat will mess up the...
So I purchased this wireless mouse before and used it with a wired keyboard. However my girlfriend just purchased me a new wireless keyboard/mouse set. The thing is I like my old mouse better and want to use it with the wireless keyboard. Now I have 2 "recievers" and the new mouse I dont use. Is...

I think I have found the answer from the antecs website:
Are there compatibility issues between ASUS motherboards and Neo HE power supplies?
We have received multiple reports of such issues, and ASUS and Antec technical teams have been able to confirm the existence of a random problem. If...
Thats what happend to mine too... So should i replace my power supply? Its weird cause everything runs fine except the dvd drive, I wouldnt think the drive would use that much power.
I just recieved my computer from monarch, I added the video card and hardrive and dvd drive. Whenever i turn on my computer and the dvd drive starts running it automatically turns off the whole system. I tried removing the drive and it works fine. Would this be my drive problem or p supply?
