I need to find a computer for my Mom. She is very simple: plays jigsaw, Mahjongg.. Does not even have internet. She had Pentium 4 1.8 recently but MB is bad so would like to get her one that is new...ish, Refurbish because you can find lower end (not gaming type) systems at a good price...

Our son is 26 and living back home. He is telling us he can't find a job or there are no jobs out there. Now is he even looking? He is home all day on his computer all day. I would like to know if he is looking for a job like he says he is or not. Is there a way I can check into his IE...

The PCIe part was 'my bad' That sounds (no pun intended) good. We will go with this one. Another successful forum post. Thanks so much for your help, just what I was looking for.

Since we do have to return the one we got to Fry's.... I did find this one. http://www.frys.com/product/5989744?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG

That card looks good and just the right price. I did figure out the we do have PCI. The small 1" connector. So with that in mind (and staying away from Creavtive) do you have another one in mind? Thanks, Debbie

Our system is a couple years old (DDR3), Core-2-Duo. We have 1 PCI-e slot and that is for the video card (EVGA GTS450 SC 1GB) so we have to get PCI. We have good surround sound speakers already. Had a 'Sound blaster Audigy SE' for a couple of years but unable to find any Windows 7 drivers...

Thing is I can't now because all 3 SSD so no space, only the 7mb and I can't get them back, that I know off. I even tried running HDDERASE at the DOS level and it failed. I can see if that happens to 1 drive but 3 of them.

OK, so I booted up onto the Windows 7 DVD and saw that the whole 600GB SSD drive was in tacked. I thought I would just try using 'Casper' and ghost my c: partition over to the other SSD. It hung before it could get started so I booted up onto my original HD and slaved the SSD. Well guess...

bigfellla That is a thought. From the beginning of my puter days (25 years or so) I have always liked having separate partitions for my different apps and things. I'm building up the last of my SSD and will try that. I'm just afraid to install the 2 utilities that COULD have wiped the HD but I...

OK, doing some more research on this... Could someone tell me if this could be the fix. Make sure the HD is set to AHCI in the BIOS. THIS I ALREADY DID. During the install, go to Custom and remove all partitions until there is only the 100mb system partition and the main partition. THIS I...

To add... As you can see there is no drive letter given to the HD so I'm not able to run any utility on it like chkdsk, Partition Magic, firmware update or any type of low level formatting.

I have that size of drive because this is a laptop and I can only have 1 HD and as you can see by the picture, I have several partitions and data. This same exact thing happened to 2 different SSD HDs. So I wouldn't think it is the HD that is bad. On both of them I had just installed 2...

Here is a picture "Disk 1" is suppose to be a 600GB SSD HD Thanks, Debbie

OK, so I slaved the HD again and went into Device Management. It now sees it as having only 7mb. I right click on it and I'm only able to Convert it to basic or GPT. Basic is my only option since this HD is not over 2TB. So I converted it to basic and now the box part that showed it had 7mb is...

Not yet. I will try that but I was really concerned as to why this happened to avoid it again. Thanks

I installed a SSD HD into my new Thinkpad SL510. Install Win7 x64. No problems Installed wireless drivers, Hotkey and Ultranav. Rebooted and the system hung at post I shut it off and it then said ‘No OS found’ When I slaved the HD to my old system and went into Disk maintenance it only...

Yep, they replaced it with the L420 and L520. Which I briefly checked and found the L520 on the CDW site for $944..... I don't think so.

I find it interesting when 2 weeks ago you could find the SL410 and SL510 in the product lineup on the Lenovo web site and now you do a search on there site and can't even find it existed.

I wish Laptops had a place to put a second Hard drive in. I know you can get an 'Slim bay' to put into the CD-Rom bay but then you have to buy the 'Slim bay' Why is because I do have a 80gb SSD that I wouldn't mind installing for the OS and then the 500gb driver for other partitions. I could...

Thanks wolfeking I was hoping someone would boast the Thinkpad. I did like the feel of the touchpad on others but looking at the pics and video of some on my list it has a number pad (which I wouldn't need) and that put the touchpad way over to the left side which I can't see laying my arm...
