That is very helpful information, thank you. Do you think this cable would do the job https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-2-x-SATA-3-0-III-SATA3-SATAiii-High-Speed-6GB-s-Data-Cable-Angle-Blue-Cord/133253121276?hash=item1f068144fc:g:1uMAAOSwVkBd24f2

Thanks for the reply. The power cable is already there. I need to know exactly which SATA cable I need as it appears there are several types available. Would this one be what I need...

What cable do I need to install a second hard drive (Samsung HD103SJ 1000GB Sata II) into a Dell Optiplex 780 computer?

Thanks for the responses. I contacted my hosting provider today after I found out that every computer I tried would not access the websites. They found the problem quickly and fixed it. They said it was caused by a php version upgrade.

This is a very strange situation that is driving me crazy. From my Windows 7 desktop there are certain URLs that bring up the Save as dialog instead of displaying the website. This happens regardless of which browser I use. It doesn't matter if I try to access the sites from a bookmark or by...

I have one partition (D) on the hard drive where I'm storing a lot of files and also the C: partition where Windows is installed. I would like to only delete the C: partition and keep the other. Is this possible?

Thank you, this is what I needed to know. So the Windows 10 installation disc will allow me to format the C: partition and install the 64 bit operating system... correct? I do have the Windows 10 Pro 64 bit license key.

Thanks for the response. So should I take it that the Windows 10 installation does not allow you to format the partition during installation like Windows 7 did when I installed it over XP? Or is it because I would be installing a 64 bit version over a 32 bit?

I have a PC with a Windows 7 32 bit operating system. I have a Windows 10 Pro 64 bit installation DVD. A program I downloaded called SecurAble reports that my processor supports 64 bit. My question is if I would run into any problems installing the 64 bit version of Windows 10 over the 32 bit...

It's the Core 2 Duo 3.0GHz E8400 and the CPU Benchmark site rates it 2175

I just did a comparison at cpubenchmark.net and the Average CPU Mark for the Pentium 4 was 407 and for the core duo it was 2175. What does Average CPU Mark mean and what do these numbers indicate?

I know there are certainly must faster processors around but I can get a really good deal on the refurbished core 2 duo and was just wonder how much faster it was than the Pentium 4 so I can decide if it's even worth my time messing with.

Video converting is something I do only occasionally. The Pentium 4 converts the videos in about two hours and I just let it do that when I'm away from the computer. If the dual core is faster it should cut that time down... right?

Was thinking about maybe adding a good video card. Would that do it?

Thank you for replying. It will have Windows 7 Pro 64 bit installed with 4GB memory. I will use it mostly for office type work, surfing the web, and occasionally converting videos and editing images.

I have a computer with an Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 3.20GHz processor. I'm thinking of buying a refurbished computer that has an Intel Core 2 Duo 3.0GHz processor. Is there a big difference between these two. Which one is faster? Thanks

Thanks for responding. I have tried ripping software (WinX DVD Ripper), copy software (DVDFab), and several DVD playing programs, and they all stop responding when they try to access the DVD.

I created a DVD of home movies that plays in a DVD player but when I try to play it, or view the contents of it, on my Windows XP computer whatever program I use (Windows Explorer, WMP, WinX DVD Ripper) stops responding. I have to eject the DVD to even close the program. I have two DVD burners...

Thanks for the replies. The WinDirStat program showed the correct amount of free space but Windows explorer still showed only 5GB. Rebooting didn't help so I completely turned off the computer for a few minutes and when started up again everything was fine. Very odd.

Windows XP PC. 80GB hard drive contains under 15GB of files (found by selecting all files and folders in Windows Explorer and checking properties) but My Computer shows only 5GB free space. What happened was that I was repairing a 700MB AVI file with Virtual Dub and somehow the output setting...
