i have yet to figure out how to do it in command prompt, but you can do it in notepad... just copy and paste this code

net user USERNAME PASSWORD /add
goto admin
:admin
net localgroup administrators USERNAME /add
pause
where username and password are enter your desired username and password, not your normal account, because this code will add a NEW user to log in as, and from this admin file, you can grant yourself admin access, that is, if your admin hasn't blocked that command so that you get "system error 5, access denied"

Are all external hard-drives compatible with all computers?
No.
1. Some computers don't even support hard drives.
2. Not all of those that do will have a connection for an external one.
3. Not all external connections are the same, so even if one is present, it can't be used with a drive that uses another connector (unless that connection is also present). For instance, you can't use an eSATA drive with a USB port, and you can't use FireWire with an eSATA port.
4. Not all operating systems support portable hard drives connected to a particular interface (though this is increasingly rare).
That really depends on what you expect to do. If you only need to run office applications, chat and send email and save a few thousand pictures you will probably do really well with 500GB. If you need to back up other systems on your network or get into serious video editing, you will run out of space fairly quickly.

This is inaccurate. An external (USB) hard drive can replace an internal drive providing that the operating system is located on the external drive AND the BIOS boot sequence is set to allow booting from a USB device as the first boot device.
It is using the EIDE connection. The book says that if you have a hard drive and a CD that the hard drive should be the master and the CD will be the slave.
