get a new pc, or at least a new hard drive! you can "move" space from one drive to another, but you can move files from one drive to the other. you could easily double your storage space for under $40
What are the advantages of methodology?
1. Better planning.
2. Improved quality of system produced.
3. Consistency.
4. Thoroughness.
How do you burn images with BurnAware Free?
Change the destination (drive) to which the data will be burned. Changing to an "Image Drive" will prompt you to save the image as a file.
How do you perform a factory reboot?
There are 2 ways: System Restore & System Recovery. Maybe your definition of a factory reboot is when you first purchased the computer, if this is the case, a System Recovery is a factory reboot because it comes with all the original software. Any added software and files WILL be erased.
What does 'ipc' 'admn' and 'c' mean in computer management under the shared folders?
"The system root folder (%SYSTEMROOT%) is shared as ADMIN$. This is your Windows folder, and the administrative share provides administrators easy access to the system root folder hierarchy over the network." "The IPC$ share is used with temporary connections between clients and servers by using named pipes for communication among network programs. It is primarily used for to remotely administer network servers." C$ is the admin share for your local C: drive. See Microsoft KB Article ID 314984 for more details. http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=314984
What does it mean mount CD image?
It is referring to loading a CD-ROM, or using software to load a CD-ROM image (such as ISO format) from harddrive or other storage.
What do you undersatnd by COM DCOM?
Component Object Model(COM) is a binary interface standard for software complimentary introduced by Microsoft in 1993. It is used to enable interprocess communication and dynamic object creation in a large range of programming languages. The term COM is often used in the Microsoft software development industry as an umbrella team that encompasses the OLE, OLE Atuomation,ActiveX, COM+ and DCOM technologies.
What is python and is it good or bad for your computer?
python is simply a computer programming language as for if its good or bad that depends on what is programed with it
What is the difference between digital computers and hybrid computers?
Digital computers are purely digital, i.e. they use digital(electronic) means to process data. Hybrid computers conversely use both digital and analog technologies.
The speed of a PC generally refers to the system clock rate, measured in gigahertz and sometimes megahertz. A megahertz is one million cycles per second, while a gigahertz is a billion cycles per second.
However, that is not the only measure of throughput, and the clock rate can be misleading. So clock rate is not the same thing as performance. Sometimes a machine with a slower clock rate actually runs applications faster than one with a faster clock rate. That was how it was between Intel and AMD for years. The AMD processors could work faster than ones from Intel with a higher clock rate. The difference here has to do with instruction speed. If a machine is of a lower clock rate than another, but its instructions are more efficient and take less clock cycles to complete, then it will likely perform better.
Instruction speed is based on whether the instructions have their own dedicated processing hardware, or if there is microcode to derive them from other instructions. For instance, NEC V20 processor, a replacement for the Intel 8088, performed faster than an 8088 at the same clock rate. The main difference was that it actually had a hard-coded multiplier. The 8088 didn't, but relied on the adder and microcode to loop it to emulate multiplication. The reason the V20 could add circuitry to do multiplication was because they used a newer technology that allowed them to cram more stuff into an IC. So their multiplication instruction was much more efficient since they had the room to add dedicated circuits.
What device works as an output and input device?
A Touchscreen Monitor will work as an input and output device

How do you make the computer think its another day?
If you change the date on the clock, software on the computer still knows its the same day!
Shortcut to flip entire screen upside down?
hold down, ctrl, alt and the down button on you keyboard.
Hope that helps
Why might a specialized cooler be required to overclock a computer?
cause the processor reaches high temperatures that might burn it .permanently...
How can you make your laptop receive more internet connection?
There are many things to try
- move closer to the router
- buy a more powerful router or network card
Is it better to shut down computer or leave it on?
With the newer computers the "Sleep" (stand by) mode works fine. If it's "days" before you use it again then i usually just turn it off. The computer runs a "Maintenance" program around 2:00 ish in the morning so it doesn't hurt to leave it on overnight once in awhile if you don't use it very often. It won't do the maintenance if the computer is asleep tho. So disable the "Automatically Sleep" option for those days. You can still use the "Display Sleep" no problem. I believe it will still do the maintenance if you turn the "Put hard disk to sleep when possible" mode in the Preferences/Energy Saver. It just pauses the hard drive so it's not spinning until you need it.
Physics. A CD-ROM drive in a computer spins the 12--diameter disks at 9400 what is the disks period?
6.4 * 10^-3sec
0.66(greater)
Anything connected to the computer is called a peripheral
