    Cooling solution for notebook harddrive?

    The new harddrive in my notebook gets quite hot (55°C) and according to Seagate this is the max operating temperature. How can I cool it down? Are there any devices I can buy, maybe better case fans? The notebook is a Dell Inspiron 8100.

    Notebook harddrive temperature too high?

    I just built a new harddrive in my notebook (Dell Inspiron 8100: 1,2 Ghz P3 with 512 Mb RAM) and it is getting quite hot: 55°C (the harddrive temperature) while working with windows. Is that too hot? Any advice to make it cooler? Better case fans maybe? The Harddrive is a 40Gb Seagate ST94811A...

    2 dma mode 5 harddisk transfer speed is 3MB/s

    Can you compress those HUGE avi files you get when recording with a Hauppauge WinTV?

    Virus found in RAdmins r_server EXE.... ?!?

    OK here the problem: I use RAdmin now for ages and it worked fine and made no problems. I got it from the official homepage. My Norton Antivirus 2002 never found a virus in r_server.exe but after the current update it does ?!?! No other file on my PC else shows any virus, only in R_server.exe...
