Are laptop computer hard drives interchangeable?
I'm not sure what you mean by interchangeable, but if you mean can you take one laptop hard drive and put into another the answer would most likely be yes. Assuming they are both based upon the same board communication function. You can't interchange a sata HD with IDE. If they are both Sata or IDE then there is no problem. You can probably tell if they are sata or ide by going into the computers bios. (Settings function before your computer boots.) You can also purchase an adapter that will allow you to hook up your laptop hard drive to your desktop. Hope this helps -Brent

Note: the above answer is in the form of points.
Compare parallel port and serial port?
A serial port is a 9 pin, RS-232 connection usually used for Terminal connections and older modems as well as some mice and older keyboards for example.
It has lost much of it's popularity and is uncommon on modern computers, usually must be emulated via USB or another port. Usually it's low speed with a asynchronous connection.
A parallel port is usually a 25 pin connection used primarily for printers, some times external devices such as Hard drives or CD-ROM drives, even scanners and modems. It is able to send more then one bit at a time. It is also becoming more obsolete and is less and less common on modern computers.
Hope that helps.
What are the computer hardwares used in computer networks?
NIC (Network Interface Cards), cables, routers, switches, hubs. Optional stuff can include storage area network (SAN), network attached storage (NAS), firewalls, and IDS (intrusion detection systems).
Explain in detail hardware and software with example?
The Hardware are the physical components of the computer itself including the CPU and related micro-chips, keyboard's, monitors, case. And more over we can touch all of the hardware devices of the computer, computers cannot run without the help of hardwares.
The software is the operating system, and all the programs and applications that run on the computer. The latest operating system on Windows is OS Windows 8 and on Mac that is OSx Mountain Lion. Software can be installed or downloaded from a disc. You cannot physically touch software as you can hardware.
What is needed to have wireless internet on your laptop?
You need a wireless internet card, you can get one installed into your laptop or get one that you just plug into a usb port. Internal cards are as cheap as 20 quid and external ones are around 40 quid for the cheapest ones. The external cards reception tends to be weaker than the internal cards ones, but its a lot more expensive to get a third party to install an internal card into a laptop.
What is the function of a data cable inside a computer case?
Data cables (called ata cables or serial or SCSI) simply transfer data from one device to the motherboard inside or even to another device hooked up to the same cable. An example would be a cdrom drive could transfer data for listening to music via the data cable and the motherboard would process it and produce sound via speakers.
What computer hardware is used to input text and graphics to a computer?
For text, it's the keyboard.
For graphics, It can be a scanner.
Sometimes you could also use a wacom tablet for drawing, if that's what you mean by graphics.
And then there is the touch screen. (in certain computers)
Which wireless standard provides a maximum speed of 54 Mbps?
There are actually two of them. First one is type A working at 5Ghz and second is type G working at 2.4Ghz.
802.11a & 802.11g
i dont know im the one asking this question hahahah
How do you set up a desktop PC as a server?
if you have windows xp on your old computer just use remote desktop... then you dont have to spend any money...
(there is alot more to servers than just remote desktop)
Buy a server OS (the cheapest standard 'server 2008' starts at $999.00)
Format the HD in your comp
Install the new server OS
Download and install new drivers, might have to buy a few new parts because some parts werent designed to be used in servers. No big deal, can get whatever you need at newegg.com or your local PCWorld.
After about 2 - 3 hours of work you can enjoy your new server... :)
What hardware is used for input and output?
input hardware are things like: mouse, keyboard, scanner, joystick, etc
output hardware are things like: monitor, printer, and any other peripheral device that presents output from the computer.
don't confuse CD, DVD, hard drive, etc with output devices, though. they receive output from the computer but are classified as storage.
Do USB connectors have their own power supply?
A USB wire will always have a way to transport power. This wire in the USB wire will not necessarily be used all the time but it will always be there
What is included in the hardware of a computer?
The inside of a desktop computer is not as complicated as you may think. Below is an example of what the inside of a computer looks like and each of the parts of the computer with pointers to each of the major components that make a computer.
The expansion cards are often devices such as your video card, sound card, network card, etc. It is also common for many computers today to have these components built into the motherboard.
Is a binary code an input or output device?
Binary code is not a device. It is a numerical representation of data.
What is larger a megabyte or a kilobyte?
A megabyte is made up 1024 kilobytes. The next step up is gigabytes, the larger the file, the more kilobytes needed. It's the same as centimeters, then meters, then kilometers. It's just a unit of measurement for how much space if required (if designated for storage).
A small graphic may be a dozen kilobytes, a small picture with limited detail could be several hundred kilobytes, detailed pictures will start taking up increasingly more megabytes of space with the more detail they contain. A 3 minute song could be anywhere from 3 to 7 megabytes, etc etc.
The most acknowledged advantage of Six Sigma is that the organisation builds & maintains a relentless pursuit of process variation reduction and breakthrough improvements, that results in increase customer satisfaction and impact the bottom-line.
What is the requirement of input output interface?
For it to be an input device, the requirements are for the user to be able to input information into a device or computer system. (keyboard, mouse)
Output devices need to show and display information aswell as produce information. (monitor, printer)
A touch-screen mobile phone would be a good example for an input/output device, you touch the screen to get it to do something, at the same time you gather the information from the screen.
What devices are both input and output?
Devices for communication between computers, such as modems and network cards, typically serve for both input and output.
Also, a touch screen can be considered as an input and output device. Others include: Fax, 3-in-1 printers, headsets, and audio/video cards.
How many E IDE connectors are located on new motherboards?
Most still have 1. Some will still have 2, but they are being phased out. I have not yet seen a PATA-less motherboard, but they are definatley on the way, if not already here. That said, 4, 6 and 8 SATA ports are common, and support is good.
If you have legacy devices you need to connect, SATA->PATA devices are made, and fairly cheaply, too.
What happens when your CMOS battery dies?
I think your new to the system
if at all the cmos battery is gone when ever you start the system you can see the system that it directly goes to the bios setup and asks you config the system time,date, need to setup so because of this system will be waiting in that position .
if not it will be asking you to press the "F1" or "ESC" key on your keyboard
