    electrical shocks

    What do you mean by electric shocks? What do you have to touch to get the shock? Sounds like an earth problem but most devices have plastic cases to even if your earth is not working properly you shouldn't get a shock from the device. Does the usb device operate as it should when plugged in...

    Stepping down

    When I first joined this site I thought it was entirely your show due to the commitment you showed. And it never let up. Hardware Forums semed to get off to a slow start but quality regular posts from a small number kept it going. "Big B" usually being the first to reply. House, girlfriend...

    why is everyone not using ie anymore?

    I think internet explorer is far more stable and faster than opera or FF. Thing is, IE is built into windows. So if you penetrate IE your into windows.... veryroughly speaking. FF and Opera are just program that run in windows. Read all you like about IE. You can only conclude not to...

    Stumble! is the dogs huevos!!!

    To be honest for the first 2:59 I thought "Yank car with 539hp doing what 300hp WRC cars do" but 3m to the end is quite impressive. The handbrake turn and the 360 turn is like something from a computer game!

    Mac OSX on a pc

    The first question "will it ever be possible?" Ive never read the user agreement of any program/app or OS so couldnt comment on the law. I would imagine it would be legal cos most people have PCs so it would widen Macs market a million fold. MS wouldnt like it.

    Hard drive partitions

    Paragon Partition Manager is an often preferred alternative. Though if the 128gb is free space you might be able to use the disk management in control panel. When you install programs you can change the intsall path to a different partition. I used to do this but if I remember right I had...

    Maybe the partition table needs rebuilding. I couldnt recommended specific software to do this but I wouldnt format the drive just yet. If you still want to format just download a bootable disk. I use killdisk 4.1 to format because I can zero fill using that.
