    How long to format a pen drive.

    Does FAT32 still have a 4gb (individual) filesize limitation ? ONE dvd copied over would exceed that limit and it would spit out errors !

    Gah! Diet Coke in the laptop!

    Leave the hard drive out and boot from a live linux disk. If nothings wrong then it will boot into a fully functional linux environment without a hard drive being attached so you can test to your hearts content without risk to the data on the hard drive.

    I'm a "Micro$oft" H8R but even I will say that Win 7 is a league above Diablo's previous offerings and the jury's still out on Win 8>

    One For Enthusiasts Of Old Cars

    True. But then I'd choose an E49 or an AX9 but as I have to live in the real world (ie: I can't afford them) if I was to import it'd probably be a HJ Sandman PV or similar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZLMLVXjSOw AX9 In case you can't tell I, I used to live in Perth WA !!

    Is a 230w PSU adeqate for a 3GHz P4 ?

    That's an extremely old machine. AGP was superseded by Pci-e yonks ago. So yes, I'd say a 230 watt psu probably is sufficient and NO a higher output psu wont speed it up.

    IINM if you try and "fresh-install" XP you will find you only get 30 days usage as Microsoft has turned off activation. Of course you could always go find a crack for that but to then use your system for online purchases of anything (or access your bank account) would be somewhat moronic when...
