    Hopefully quick and easy backup question

    My only main system is another laptop and it never stays in the same place long enough to have any external drives hooked to it. Also I have a laptop sitting around not doing anything and I want to put it to good use.

    Hopefully quick and easy backup question

    I have an old laptop that I would like to use as a "backup server" and two 250GB mybook drives. I would like to hook up the two mybooks to that laptop, backup my data to mybook 1 and have it mirrored to mybook 2. I'm sure this is super easy and I'm making this out to be harder than it is but...

    How can I view the contents of an .ost file?

    I recently began consolidating and organizing about 8 years worth of data spread out over numerous hard drives, CDs, and DVDs. One of the things that I have come across is about 8 ".ost" files. I get that they are offline folders, but it seems almost impossible to use them for anything. From...

    Thanks for all the info guys, I appreciate it. The amount of help on this site never ceases to amaze me. I'm not in the US, but I'm a US citizen studying abroad so I am able to have someone in the US buy it and ship it to me if possible. I'm trying to do research from overseas and none of...

    Talk me out of a Lenovo and some other questions

    Converting video clips to flash for my gallery, how to do it?

    A quick question for the web video gurus. I'm by no means a videographer but I recently joined the rest of the human race and bought a digital camera that records video. I've got tons of videos now and I want to share them with family and friends on my online gallery, but I'm unsure of how...

    Windows XP install on SATA HDD

    Hey guys. I have a quick question about installing XP Pro on a Dell desktop that I have with a SATA hard drive. Apparently I am supposed to find some SATA drivers, install those to a floppy, and point the Windows install to that floppy when starting the install. The only problem with that...

    I'm new! Please help me out.

    As has been mentioned, the first step is to decide what your primary use of the computer will be. Builds for gaming will be completely different than builds for media storage or a mass ripping of all your movies and music. Decide how much storage you will need and make sure that you make...

    Question for European members about GPS units

    I'm about to take a job in Britain that will have me rotating between the UK and the US every 4-6 months or so. I'm searching for a decent GPS solution that will perform well in Europe but will also enable to me to switch to US maps when I come back to the US. In addition to just UK and US...

    Looking for an OS that can boot from a CD

    The environment where I work is extremely locked down to the point where I have no way watch movies that I bring in unless they are in DVD format and I play them through WinDVD. I'm looking for an OS that I can use by popping the CD (or DVD) in and booting to that OS, thereby bypassing XP...

    Question about MS Server 2008 install

    Hey everyone. I'm looking to install MS Server 2008 and I have one question that should be able to be answered by anyone installing it on a current-ish box. When installing XP on a SATA drive, you have to press F6 and point to the SATA drivers. Is this also the case when installing Server...
