~Thanks 27 GB is OK if you're not installing too much stuff. If you're a gamer, I guess you need one with at least 80GB space.

27GB will not get you anywhere these days but in order to figure out what you computer has for a hard drive, you right click on MY Computer > click properties > click the hardware tab > device drivers > then click Disk Drive and it will tell you the name of the hard drive. If it is a name brand laptop then get a hold of them and see what they recommend for it as well.

Is Your Money Workign Hard ?
(0) Everyone works hard for earning money. But as far as a Christian is concerned, the money that he

covetousness, and its pride, and it changes it into an instrument for God's service and glory.

Sony Vaio Cd/dvd Rom Drive Makes So Much Noise!

God then if we point up there?)??? Is he inside of us? Are we all a part of god? Is God present in
everything that surrounds us? Isn't it interesting that GOD is very close to GOOD? Maybe it is
a metaphore for being and doing GOOD things?? That is something we have inside of us - every normal
human being has this feeling for what is good and bad and is tryin' to follo....

Sata Hard Drive Not Recognized By Windows
WD 250gb SATA hard drive not working (12) Hi there! I recently re-installed windows on my 250 gb WD SATA hard drive. I had a 50 gb windows
partition and the rest for files. First thing that happened was my system partition wouldn't
boot and eventually chkdsk said that the mbr was unrecoverable. A friend recommended that i use a
seperate parallel hard drive to load windows and then convert the disk to dynamic in disk
management. I did this, but the computer crashed and now windows won't even load with the SATA
hard drive connected. The BIOS sees the SATA hdd, but that's as far as I can get. I tried t....
Dead Hard Disk
Help! (6) This is the first time I've ever had to turn to the community for help... but I'm desperate.
My hard disk sort of died today. It's been grinding down for ever, and it eventually kicked it
in this morning. It's a 10gb drive sitting in an old IBM PC300GL I use for misc stuff -
sometimes for the server, or to do misc jobs like encryption cracking, or whatever. Anyway,
it's not so much the drive itself which is important - I could buy a replacement one for
probobly under $10 - but having the data which I had stored on it is a matter of life or death. I....
