I partitioned my hard drive into two sectors (I installed windows on one).. it turns out to be too small (sp2 makes a backup of the whole system :rolleyes:).. I'm at a loss how to redistribute the size though :rolleyes: Anyone a clue? I'm running Windows XP (I guess I need to go into BIOS at...

Any links/ organizations you know of? I'm already familiar with the now defunct "warp drive today" site, the axed NASA BPP project, and the Alcubierre/Van Broeck papers. There really should be an organization of some sort that gathers all the latest science into one place.

Sometimes my electricity cuts out completely when I am running win2k pro (pesky coin meter) do you think this could damage a harddrive attached to my system, I have had one master boot go down on me already?

Would an external hard drive be useful for backing up data so I can restore my pc? Can I just plug one into my USB port and put files on it without having to set it up as a slave? Install software? Format? I actually only want to back up about 1gb. Would I be able to plug it into other pcs and...

My dad gets that error on every exe he tries to open. He was infected with a virus, actually several. Is there any way to fix the damage? As far as we can tell, we got rid of all the infected files. If we can't, how would we format the hard drive? It's an XP system.

First off; get the fuel tank, get the fuel supply lines and attach to ionisation chamber. Ionisation chamber- get a small metal semicircular dish, and weld in americium isotops (to make it ionise the gas) Put in some small holes for the fuel supply lines. Heating chamber- This is a larger...

Lord High Astronomer Somebody Rees was pontificating on NPR yesterday about the manned trip to Mars, and he said he thought someone would go, in about thirty years from now, but they shouldn't expect to be able to come back. I was confused by this. Why would anyone go to Mars if they could not...

Ok here's the deal: I received a p4 3.0 gig, 1 gig corsair ram, a new mobo, and a new power supply. I took my video card out of my old comp, along with my cd-drive and harddrive. I plugged everything in correctly, but, once my computer boots from the harddrive, a black screen comes up, then...

IS it possible to save songs back onto the hard drive when checking in despite the fact that the song has since been deleted from both the playlist and hard drive? It appears on checking in, that the song disappears totally in OPEN MG software. Any help much appreciated as I deleted songs...

Been brought to my attention in another topic, so just how is it that technologies suck as traction control make a formula 1 car harder to drive? This is directed at Mr Robin Parsons, but obviously anyone can join in.

Hi all, I installed XP on a newly bought 40G hard drive (Western Digital) and when I inserted the Data Lifeguard disk to format it, it informed me that NT only recognizes 8 G...but my system isn't NT, it's XP. How do I get around this so I can use all 40G...? I just got informed by my...

The warp drive concept is a fascinating idea as a means to get from point A to point B in a much shorter time as opposed to traveling through normal space, which would undoubtedly take many years to centuries. Still, there is something fishy about warp drive. While many difficult issues have...

since we have CDR, which is cheap and can store 700MB, why do we need Zip drive? i never had a friend using I-omega zip drive, it is a dead product.

what if you put ram chips in the hard drive itself to store information on it with the normal drive.what you could do is store windows and private files you don't want people to access when your on line there.and go between them on you computer.so if your hard drive crashes.you can boot windows...
