I also spoke with WD and they say that 1. The SATA II drive will be a straight swap 2. The SATA III drive will be a straight swap, but their is a caveat. The SATA III drive has jumpers which are normally factory set for desktops and workstations. However, if you have problems then set...

Sorry, "Yes.."?, which did you mean, stick with SATA II or go for a SATA III drive. I was searching in Google and came across one post which said that to use a SATA III drive you have to replace the cable. Is that true or are the connectors and cables exactly the same?

WD make two versions of the Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB hard drive, a SATAII (300) and a SATAIII (600). The current drive is a SATAII, not sure if my motherboard supports SATAIII (probably not), am I better off getting another SATAII drive, even though it is an older product?

Sold! Can I use the Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB SATAIII 6Gb/s 16MB Cache 3.5 inch Internal Hard Drive. The reason I ask is because it says the interface can be SATA and PATA (?). Do I have to get the right one or does it automatically support both interface simultaneously.

I looked at a some reviews in Google and they seem to come out well. Have there been problems with the drives? I've previously used western digital but I thought these were better.

Whats a 7200.12?, (excuse my ignorance!)

I'd like to replace the internal hard drive in my desktop. The current drive is a Hitachi Deskstar P7k500 (ID HDP725050GLA360), (is it a 3.5 inch SATA drive?). I've like to replace it with the Seagate ST3500413AS 3.5 inch Barracuda 500 GB 7200rpm SATA Drive OR the Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1...

Thanks for that!

I want to repair a couple of patches on a roof felt thats otherwise sound. I found two tins in Wickes 1. Bitumen Roof Waterproofer - "a filled-in solvent based bitumen waterproofer" 2. Solvent Free Waterproofer - "an unfilled bitumen based waterproofer" Whats the difference between...

I used the Wickes Easy Seal Cap sheet on a flat roof (6x3m) a couple of years ago. The roof is fine but in a few place the cap sheet is looking worn. Is there a way to repair it? Also, can I put another layer of the cap sheet on top or does all old cap sheet need to come off first?

Gone more than a month back but still no luck. After selecting a new restore point the PC tries to shutdown and then locks up, so I end up having to manually turn it off. When I switched it on it seems to work fine, but when I log off and come back after say an hour its frozen whilst trying...

Funnily I just posted about the same problem! My daughter's PC is having similar problems when it goes into standby. I've tried disabling standby, setting everything to "Never" but it made no difference. Anybody else struggling or know what was in that update?, Found a cure?

My daughter's PC did an automatic, overnight Windows update on 14th April. Since then it been unwell, - boots up but when she clicks on her account it just freezes - goes into her account and works ok, when she logs off it again freezes whilst displaying "saving your settings" - randomly...

Thanks, but it talks about making dvd movies and not about creating vitrual tours. Anyone else tried making virtual tours?

I'd like to create a virtual tour of our school, as part of a project for the children. Can anyone recommend a good place to start and what free software is out there to create virtual tours? One thats easy to follow for the children! What equipment would we need? We currently use Samsung...

Yeh, it all sounded a bit too good to be true! Primer it is then. Thanks for all the feedback.

Cheers! By the way I was having a look on the Hammerite site and they've got something called Direct to Rust metal paint. Its a 3 in 1 formula which they claim means you don't need a primer. Is it any good, or am I likely to get a better, longer lasting finish with the traditional method?

Great. Would you mind detailing the steps I need to take as I've never done anything like this before. Also, "use Hammerite rust remover first before priming", is that the same as the Kurust stuff?

I've got a bit of rust on the rear quarter glass frame. It is about 2x10cm. Whats the best way to getting rid of it. I was going to put on some Kurust and then spray some black paint from Halfords.??

Yep IE! Well after all that, it went away by itself and everything is back online again - must be down to Santa. I assume the problem was with my ISP - TalkTalk. Strange, never had a problem with them before or heard of anything like this before. Does that mean all those people with...
