I am new to this and was worried about improperly installing my new P4
processor like burning the CPU because I did something wrong.
What is the best way of going about this?

So my keyboard broke -- the space, backspace, and several of the
letter keys do nothing.  I suspect this happens because of an
overzealous applicaiton of rubbing alcohol while cleaning the board.

I have a Matshita DVD-RAM LF-D311.  It reads DVDs but I am not able to burn them.  It fails to recognize my blank DVD-Rs and keeps asking for a blank DVD.  I right clicked on the device icon and looked at "Properties".  It did not show a "Record" option tab like the "Properties" ...

purchase an external hard drive in order to back-up my hard drive before
installing SP2.  But I am so confused...

button, then on restart, everythings ok, WinTV stars up again, but in

I can not get the record tab to show when I right click on the cd drive in my
computer view and select properties.  I know that if the folder view is set
to show clasic folder view it will not show.  I have toggled that selection
back and forth and nothing allows the record tab ...

I upgraded a dual athlon system, 1.2 MP to two 2.4 MP and two Thermaltake
towers- heatsinks/w/fans.
I put it all back together and then plugged it in. I hit the start switch,
