    IDE HDD at deaths door, how to fix?

    Just to confirm, as requested, the hdd either is recognised at boot up, or ignored (guessing it doesn't spin up quickly enough or power not getting to electronics for compy to recognise) - if it didn't spin up quick enough, would think compy see's that hdisk is there, but unusable, but it just...

    IDE HDD at deaths door, how to fix?

    As it says, I had a system, Athlon 2800, 2xHDD IDE system, one had ME on, one had XP on, dual boot, then the ME system became obsolete, so use the XP, then it failed in a desolate way, no bluescreen, no BIOS boot even, after a powercut. At the same time my brother decided, because of receipt...

    How to make a Gate?

    Because - if I did so, I would have a 4 foot tall gate(!) or a wonky 8 foot gate, because 2 lots of 4 foot long pieces of wood would not be sufficiently supported? Or make two 4 foot gates, as a traditional gate, then bolt them together ie cottage door style, which I mentioned origionally?

    Win 7 keeps asking for activation, then resets

    What I already did was try that, and the phone rung then went *beep beep beep*, then dead, so they clearly don't want to know, which is the reason I ask here. If you guess and don't know, don't write. It is very easy to write incorrect information that you believe true, but is better to not...

    How to make a Gate?

    Why would ANYONE use a second hand Front door, as a back gate? I live in a rural area, in this area, and all my life, back gates to private gardens, generally tend to be made of wooden planks.....not uPVC double glazed doors??? Where is your thinking from? :oops:

    Win 7 keeps asking for activation, then resets

    The key point in my post was "AFAIK", and "unable to contact the person", which renders posts illogical, due to people not reading posts..? If people don't know are unsure, don't write. But don't ignore important messages by the poster to form opinions regarding situations that you don't...

    How to make a Gate?

    Sorry, something seems to be lost in translation here? I need a back yard gate, in the style of a gate, NOT for a car access, otherwise I might have mentioned that. Gate shaped gate. The wood that I have is 4 foot tall, I need it to be door sized, say 6 feet tall? Maybe 3 feet across, Due...

    How to make a Gate?

    I need a back gate making, and I don't have funds, so I have been given some wood sized pieces of wood. ie planks of wood. Unfortunately they are too short. So traditionally, use correct size pieces of wood, straps across, in a vertical manner, with a cross beam? I'm guessing here! So how...

    Scrapping laptops.

    I wonder if it so problematic, to sell a faulty computer, 2nd hand, and really worry about data being retrieved, that is so sensitive? Who is the buyer? Someone that can't afford to buy new, or for spares? They are buying for spares, as they don't work, what data can they get that can't be...

    Win 7 keeps asking for activation, then resets

    AFAIK, it was a bought version of Win7, I've tried to contact my brother, who bought it origionally, but so far only have the windows key. Not the box or CD etc..a hard man to reach. So a few leads to follow, cheers! Does anyone know about this CMD program that I mentioned to force the key...

    Win 7 keeps asking for activation, then resets

    The link takes me to re-buy windows. It is a legit version! But the questions I posed haven't been answered, it says 'Needs Activating', with so many days left, then resets itself to many days left, so the pop-ups are annoying. How to remove the pop-ups, if it isn't going to expire? I'm not...

    Win 7 keeps asking for activation, then resets

    Hi new to you! Be nice nervous lol, My brother had a Dell PC, and the power supply went BANG, so he binned it. My computer died a little while later of BIOS /hdisk failure, it showed a screen, but stuck, and beeped a lot. I changed the BIOS in mine, no luck. So I bought a new motherboard...
