    External DVD-RW reviews

    I have this Lite-On and this I/O Magic (actually a BenQ drive). No problems with them so far, and very nice prices. One thing though, the Lite-On doesn't have a power button, which is a bit annoying.

    Dell E1505

    Before reformatting, try taking the HDD out and get one of these. Worth a try to see if you can access the HDD that way and backup the data on it. Also try calling Dell maybe? See if they know anything about having an override code or something...worth a shot. Good luck.

    Seagate 7200.9 160GB SATA HD, $60 *re-dead*

    Its probably one of those "add to cart to see special price" kind of things. I just tried and it gave me $59.99 after adding to cart also.

    My sister needs a good camera Digi camera

    If you need big zoom, make sure it has image stabilization. Otherwise it'll be useless with out a tripod. If big zoom is not a high priority, I'd suggest the Canon A610, which can be had for around $200, and is EXCELLENT in terms of speed and quality.

    Incompatible Media, Or Faulty Drive?

    OK, I have 2 DVD writers, one is a Lite-On SHW-1635SX and the other is another external from I/O Magic. The problem is with RW media. First up, DVD+RW (Sony 4x): ---------------------- I got these Sony DVD+RWs, and basically the Lite-On can't write to it. It gives me an error each time...

    Looking for an all-inclusive codec media player

    VLC is definitely the best. No need to d/l codecs, and it comes it both versions - .exe and precompiled binary (no need to install, just unzip and run). Here's a direct link to their d/l page.

    IDE to USB 2.0 adapter question

    Yeah, the enclosures come with an external AC adapter (like laptop bricks, but smaller), which you connect to a power source. Also, there are enclosures that don't use any external AC adapters, but can get power by using 2 USB ports (1 for drive, 1 for power), and sometimes it gets enough...

    My Monarch X-2 4800+ order

    Monarch isn't really known for their speed. Usually they're on time, but since they're not very big, once they get bogged down, they get bogged down. But Monarch does have excellent tech/customer support, and if you really feel strongly about your delay, talk to a rep. and see if there's...

    I have an i9300, but I believe most of Dell's laptops are configured the same regarding OS and partition space, etc. Anyway, if you go to Start>Programs you should see something called "Dell Accessories" or "Dell Restore" or something to that degree, and you'll find the tool to burn your own OS...
