like to put its DVD drive into my PC.
I went through the tricky task of takig the case apart for the first
time and removed the drive cleanly. However, once I connected it up

I have a 15 month old Win Xp computer For the last week or so, I have
been hearing a small whining sound when I started the computer
although I wasn't quite sure that it was coming from the computer.
This morning, I heard a slightly different sound, which was like a

Where does the "Date and Time Properties" get it's time setting from? And,
how can I make it remain current and not an hour behind? Every time I

old HD (Hitachi 120GB) over to the new machine and set it as slave.  Both HDs

The hard drive utilities I know about are geared toward keeping sectors in
use rather than marking them bad.  But I have a drive right now with problem
sectors that are weak (MOST of the time still functional), and I would just
rather have them marked as bad so the drive performs ...

Thinking about replacing my X1900XT 256MB with a 8800GTS 640MB in a X2
3800+ rig. Will the performance gain be significant? Or will it just be
marginal and the ability to play DX10 games in Vista?
