What software do you guys recommend to make a DVD+RW disc function like a hard drive? Packet writing software. The sleeker the better. InCD looks great but I don't want to buy the full Nero 6 software package. I want to store my music collection on a DVD+RW so I can take it between my desktop...

pothead - :) chronically insane - My NEC MultiSync FE950+ 19" CRT is a flat-screen... I understand how "curvy screen" 19s can be the same as 17" LCDs... and I understand how a 19" CRT isn't ever really 19" because of how its measured... ramble ramble ramble

Alright guys, I'm here at college... and my room is freakin' small. My NEC 19" isn't going to cut it here, taking up a third of my desk space. My dad told me that he'll get me a Dell LCD monitor because he can apply for the Dell Preferred account and get No Interest for a year. He already...

What's the positives and negatives of each? I currently have a 5.1-channel MidiLand S4 8200 system running off a Hercules Game Theater XP sound card and output box via an optical digital cable... but in three years, I've never properly configured the rear satellites or optical/digital connection...

Sm8000 - thanks for the pointer but I already updated my firmware day before yesterday to either version OA5AA or OA6AA, I can't remember, but it was using that utility. Wasn't there a recall for these DeathStar drives?

So just cut my losses and toss the drive? I already backed up all my data before the OS switch because I planned on migrating to the new drive as the master anyway.

I've been using Windows 98SE for the longest time... and the other day I finally updated to Windows XP Pro. My main hard drive for about four years has been an IBM DeskStar DTLA-307030 aka 75GXP 30GB. I know the drive has some bad sectors but, in general, it works fine. I put a new Western...
