Why YOU choose database system instead of simply storing data in OS?
Operating System (OS) files do NOT hold data for your personal use. Any data in an OS file is used STRICTLY by the OS.
A database system is used for storing data of any kind. A text file is not stored data, so you wouldn't use a database for THAT. But a dictionary of words used in the text file, along with their definitions, could use a database.
Even pics can be stored in a database, and even a list of other files can be stored in a database.

First clear your mind and clam down think about your problem and break it down step by step 1. Power on: Check and make sure your monitor power is turned on; usually a green light indicates that the monitor has power. 2. Plug in: Check if the power cord is plug in. 3.The notice: is there a notice on your monitor screen saying that no connection has been found or something similar to that? If so then check the cable connecting your monitor to the computer, make sure to check both ends sometimes this cable can become lose even if you never go back there always check your cable. Even if it's not loose unscrew it and screw it back on. 4. Swap Monitor: if you have access to another monitor swap it and see if the other one is giving you the same trouble. 5.Did you hear Beeps: A defective graphics card should give you error beeps, usually one long beep then 3 short beeps (this can be different depending on board or bios) you may need a new graphic card or your onboard graphics may have gone bad.(replace card or add card if on board has gone bad, although some people replace their whole motherboard in fear of other components may be going bad as well) 6. Bios maybe: you may need to check the bios if you have onboard graphics and are using a graphic card instead of the onboard graphics your computer may have for whatever reason switch back to using the onboard graphic port you may have to access your Bios and change it back. 7. NOTE: WARNING! Never take your monitor apart very dangerous! Dispose of it properly and buy a new one if it turns out that the monitor its self is bad

How do you erase hard drive before give it away?
Please what ever you do, DO NOT simply do a format of your hard drive. Reason being, with the right software, anyone can retreive any / all data that is on the drive. People may think that after a format, everything is lost, but this is NOT the case.
Depending on the manufacturer of your hard drive, I would firstly go to the manufacturers web site, and download their own proprietary software, for zeroing the drive in question.
By zeroing the drive, the program writes multiple 0's across every sector of the drive, thus stopping everyone but data recovery companies from recovering any data on the drive.
If the program offers a quick or extended write, imo i would opt for the extended one every time. It does take around 2 hours to complete fully, but you know everything is gone, and its safe to donate. If you opt for the quick erase, it usually zeroes the first and last million sectors on the drive.
Alternatively, you can download a program called kill disk. Instead of opting for the manufacturers solution, this will work on any drive.
Hope this helps.
If you need any further assistance please don't hesitate to contact me.
be safe

How do you install an OS on an external hard drive?
Drop the install disk for the OS you want to install into the CD drive and reboot the computer. It sometimes is not that simple. The previous answer only works if the BIOS has been set to read the CD-ROM drive before reading the hard drive. The boot routine in the BIOS (hardware chip) will boot from devices in the sequence that are set in the chip. Depending upon your computer, this sequence may be set to (1)floppy/hard drive (2)CD-ROM/hard drive (3)floppy/CD-ROM/hard drive, and so forth. You are responsible for setting this sequence if it is not satisfactory for your needs. Usually, as the machine is booting, for the first few seconds you will see a message on the screen such as, "Press to enter Setup" or "Press F5 to enter Setup" or some such message. Some less robust machines will give you no indication of what to do or when. If you have your computer hardware manual, it should tell you what key to use to enter Setup. If not, try rebooting BY TURNING THE MACHINE OFF AND THEN ON AGAIN and guessing at the the key by repeating it a single key 2 or 3 times a second during the boot process until the Setup menu comes up. The most popular keys that BIOS manufactuers use are , and , although I have seen some use the bar and the key. None will use the regular keyboard keys, such as letters, numbers or special characters. Once you are in Setup, different BIOS manufacturers have different panels to change their settings. Just follow the instructions. Some use the up-and-down arrows, some use the left-and-right arrows and some use the Tab key to move between fields. They will tell you on the screen. After you have made the changes to suit the sequence where you are booting from, MAKE SURE that you select the option at the end to SAVE your changes! Or you will have wasted your time. Conversely, if you think that you have screwed something up, just don't save it, and start over. At boot time, the computer will now look at the first device in the Setup table to see if the media on it has a boot record in front of it. This is called a bootable device. If it does, then it will boot from it. If it doesn't, then it will go to the next device in the table to try again. It will keep trying until it has exhausted all devices and then just stop with a beep-beep. If this happens, then you know that the BIOS is not set up correctly or yoy don't have bootable media in a drive in the Boot sequence. One word of caution, sometimes malicious hackers may have planted a worm on your hard drive. When you re-install the Operating System, MAKE SURE that you use the option to reformat your hard drive during the install. Some OS's will just do it; others will ask you so that your data can be saved. If you have data that needs restored, I recommend that you back it up to a floppy or other device before re-installing the OS and reload it later. Don't worry, viruses and worms cannot hide in data, only in executables. This might be more than you need if your boot sequence is already correct, but I have re-installed hundreds of OS's, and about a fourth of them have viruses or worms on them and another one fourth of them do not have correct boot sequences. You might be lucky on both counts. Good luck!

Why does Windows XP shut down when the restart button is clicked?
The 'click the restart' button refers to clicking the 'start/turn off Computer' shown on the bottom-left of the screen in Windows operating systems (95, 98, NT, XP, Vista).
[Anyway, my PC is working fine now after I did a run of 'SPYBOT', an anti-spyware program. Be extremely careful about downloading free software because that's when my problem(s) started. "Spybot Search and Destroy" is quite credible, but it is more important to get it from the original website and not some other free program download websiste. Restart also means to shut down and start up again. so naturally, your computer would shut down and start up again If you press the physical power button on your CPU, computers do a "power off" of the hardware system. Normally you must hold that button for several seconds (3 to 5 is typical ) to shut down. Note that if your operating system (Windows) was still running at the time, you may lose some unsaved settings or documents. To restart, press the button again and it will restart. If you had not properly shut down the operating system (using the 'Start' button and selecting Shutdown) then there may be things the operating system must fix when it restarts. You will see some messages about the processes it is running to repair any damage. This is usually not a big problem as the system is designed to repair those things in such cases. Answer
SYMPTOMS
If you shut down your Windows XP-based computer, your computer may restart instead of shutting down. The computer may also restart unexpectedly while you are using the computer to perform certain tasks. An error message may appear on a blue screen when the computer restarts.
Back to the top
CAUSE
This behavior may occur if Windows stops responding during a typical operation or during the shutdown process. By default, the computer is configured to automatically restart when Windows stops responding. To view this setting, follow these steps:
1. Click the Start button, right-click My Computer, click Properties, click the Advanced tab, and then click Settings under Startup and Recovery.
2. Under System Failure, view the Automatically restart check box. If the Automatically restart check box is selected, Windows automatically restarts if the computer stops unexpectedly.
RESOLUTION
If your computer constantly restarts while you are using it, or if you are trying to shut down the computer after it has stopped unexpectedly, click to clear the Automatically restart check box. If you clear this check box, you receive an error message when the computer stops responding. This error message may describe the cause of the problem. You can also review the system log in Event Viewer to view the critical stop error that occurs when the computer restarts. For additional information, you can got to Windows in the Microsoft Knowledge Base.
