Install threat fire which will enhance your antivirus protection

According to AVG if you update to the latest version you will be able to remove it.

use a laser to read and write data. Optical disks have very large storage capacity but they are not fast as hard disks. There are three basic types of optical disks: CD-ROM, WORM and erasable.

DVD-ROM is higher- capacity disc

There are different interfaces of which hard drives can be connected to the motherboard of computers.

ATA- More commonly ATA-133, the newest version not compatible with ATA-100(phased out) Typically this setup uses a Ribbon cable, however there are "Round" cables that have been made to reduce the turbulence and promote airflow inside the cases. These drives typically do not spin faster than 7,200 RPMS.

SATA- Serial ATA, uses a thin small cable, typically red. This is the first version, and finding hardware that SATA I is difficult. these drives typicall do not spin faster than 7,200 RPMS

SATA II - AKA SATA 3.0 GB, Uses an identical cable, but transfers data much more quickly. Most hard drives and computer accessories that use SATA are SATA II. Typically SATA II is backwards compatible with SATA I. These drives are currently capable of spinning to a maximum of 10,000 RPMS

SATA III - AKA SATA 6GB/s, use a similar cable but transfers data at twice the rate of SATA II and four times the rate of SATA (first version). SATA III is also backwards compatible. In order to take full advantage of the SATA III technology it is necessary to have a SATA III motherboard, cable and HDD.

SCSI- Pronounced "SKUZZY" a high speed interface typically only used on High end workstations and servers. Has high bandwidth and uses ribbon cables similar in look to ATA, but has more pins and a different connector. Older versions for SCSI required "terminators" on the empty connectors however they are becomming less prevalent and are typically not used on the current SCSI 320 Format. These drives are typically the most expensive and rotate the fastest typically 15,000 RPM's

The CPU comprised of three main parts: AlU(ARITHMETIC LOGIC UNIT):- Does the actual Logic comparisons that need to be processed. Control Unit:-Can execute and store the results coming out of ALU. Registers:- store the data that is to be executed next.

I think the retail kit gives you a box, cables, maybe a manual and warranty info while the other does not.

The reason why some units disallow the copying of the standard operating procedures (SOP) onto a disk is because it makes it easier to steal operational secrets in case the disc is lost. Military operations need to be safeguarded in a central data center.

Mainly lack of capacity. A floppy disk is usually 1.44 MB. Modern flash drives, hard drives, etc. are in the gigabytes and terabytes ! You can still use a floppy drive (I have a USB external floppy drive), but it will become more difficult to get new floppy disks as manufacturers abandon a rather antiquated media.

Open two windows (one for C:, one for E:), right click on the file(s) in C: and while holding down the right mouse click drag files to E:. When you release you'll get a pop up window asking if you want to Copy (default), Move, Create Shortcut or Cancel.

Yes. there is a small amount of gold in pretty every silicon chip. Tiny gold wires connect the silicon chips to the connector pins on the chip's packaging. The connectors are often gold plated too. There are many chips on a hard drive controller pcb.

A variety of sources can provide information about what to look for in a hard drive when shopping for a computer. For direct contact with a sales person, chain electronics stores, such as Best Buy, will be of help.

Answer: In computer terms HDD usually means Hard Disk Drive or High Density Diskette. The GB stands for gigabyte. So the 160 is meaning 160 gigabytes of space on the computer. * One gigabyte can hold over 1000 novels (uncompressed at 100,000 words per novel). * One gigabyte is roughly equal to 17 hours of MP3 music at 128 kbit/s (1,0003 / 128 / 1000 * 8 / 3600 = 17.36). * One gigabyte is roughly equivalent to 12 hours of Flash Video (at 450x370). If you wish to store pictures and media files, go for the highest GB's when purchasing a new computer.

You can't, not easily. The partitions (D and C) are set up permanently. In order to change them, you would have to completely erase the hard drive and start over.

Its is possible by using partation magic

it would be able to hold 150000 songs

You did have to install Dimms in pairs for older computers which used RDRAMs, but computers nowadys use SDRAMs. So, you can mix combination of RAMs of different sizes and speeds without any problem.

No, you will not have to remove an external hard disk each time you turn your laptop off.

The entire point of a hard disk is that nothing happens to your data when it's turned off. Data is stored by magnetizing tiny areas of the surface of the disk. They don't need electricity to stay magnetized.

I'm not sure I understand why you're asking this question. Contiguous files are simply files that are not broken up in pieces. As you disk fills up, when you delete files to make more room, the free space is scattered all over the disk. If you download a large file, or install software, there may not be enough room in any single place on the disk to fit the entire file. Windows puts chunks of the file in several places to make it fit. This can slow down the time it takes to load the file. When you defrag the disk, it attempts to make as many files contiguous as possible. Deleting contiguous files should be exactly the same procedure as with any other file. However, some files that the system uses must be contiguous. They can't be deleted because they are in use by the system. If you have any questions, please email me or check out my profile.

A Jazz Disk can hold either 1 orr 2 GB depending on the indivual disk

You can use an ohmmeter to test the continuity of all wires.

Alternately, you can put it in place of a known working cross-over cable and see if the network connection still functions.

Remember that many modern network devices detect whether the cable is straight or cross-over, so perhaps you don't even need a cross-over.

Depending on your hard drive. If it's a new external hard drive you should check to see if it's preformatted for your computer. For example I just bought a new LaCie drive for my Mac Powerbook. It already comes preformatted in HFS mode so I didn't have to do anything. Other external hard drives allow you to put files in a hard drive without formatting, but this can cause problems later on down the road. Some Mac who have Seagate external hard drives have reported a clicking noise and malfunctioning. I personally have had this experience as I was sharing it with a PC (Seagate doesn't recommend this). It wasn't formatted thus I couldn't put some simple stuff on the hard drive such as folders with folder icons! To format any hard drive, connect your hard drive to you Mac. Then open the disk utilities application that can be found in the utilities folder in the application folder. Select the hard drive you want to format. To find out the rest, google it. haha. I kind of forget what which button to push, but it's fairly simple. I would recommend getting specific drives for PC and Mac. You can never be too safe when backing up your information. So far my LaCie works great and is quieter than my Seagate.
