I'm sure all will be good. Good luck with it and let us know how you get on.

Ah, nother question. My old PC was a laptop. My new one a desktop. There's nothing wrong with my laptop's hard drive. Can I install it into my desktop, or will there be size/compatibility issues?

You will need to get a thing from maplins me old china

HERE we go

MO75 · 22-08-2007, 03:25 PM

Excellent! I'll be asking how to install it in a few days time...

Mongswissto · 22-08-2007, 03:29 PM

Probably best just to put it on, get your shizzle off it then take it off

MO75 · 22-08-2007, 03:32 PM

So I can't use it as another hard drive, like for storing shit on it?

Mongswissto · 22-08-2007, 03:36 PM

You can indeed BUT those ickle drives normally like to be on their own cable as a master..so no having it as a slave on your cdrom cable for example. Plus it will most likely have a slow RPM thus slow transfer rates

Ah fuckit then. I should have enough memory on my new hard drive...

You can get a huge harddrive for less than £50 anyway.

Right, got my new PC and it's a beaudie! Thing is it's installed with Vista and isn't running it very well, it's only 512 meg ram and I reckon it'd be better with XP. How do I "downgrade" to XP? It's shitting itself all over the place when I try to install new stuff and shouldn't really be that way, IMO...
