    Understanding transistor Ptot in data sheet

    Hi, Reffering to the attached image, I wonder how total power dissipation is defined in each case; "Tamb < 25C" and "Tc < 25C" respectively. I suspect that Tc is referring to usage with a heat-sink , but it makes no sense as the TO92 case is not well suited for heat sinks. Thanks in advance!

    Reinstall Windows 7 Without Disk or Data Loss

    Is there a way to reinstall win7 without the disk and without losing all of my data? The only back up I have is a bit old and I can't get my external hard drive to connect. I have a rather bad virus and I can't seem to get rid of it, so I am thinking its best just to reinstall windows.
