I go to the library every now and then and every single person with a laptop has it plugged in. People come in and hunt around for a plug all the time while I'm sitting on a couch running on a battery that will last for 5 hours. Not that I'm there for that long. If blocking power plugs keeps...

Can't you also use US dollars to buy drugs or I'm I missing something?

Also http://www.axantum.com/axCrypt if you want to encrypt just files and folders, not whole disk encryption.

Or when you are done installing XP pop in the Vista/W7 DVD and run startup repair. Done.

I use a different method that keeps both setups for 32 and 64 bit and the flash drive (UFD) boots into WinPE first. Using a computer with Vista or Windows 7 open a command prompt and run diskpart. Find out which index your drive is by typing list disk. Something like this will return ...

If you're up to the task you can try this: http://www.msfn.org/board/solution-seagate-7200-11-hdds-t128807.html I've done it multiple times to get data off Seagate drives before RMA'ing them.

They still do, it's just that Satan makes the Ballistix line for Crucial. Like I said, a lot of people have good luck with Ballistix so it's not like every single one sold is crap. Still, could be a driver but I wouldn't do anything until swapping out the RAM for testing.

What model Seagates and WD? Seagate has been having problems with their drives lately. During boot does the system not see all the drives or the same one is missing all the time?

What brand/model HDs and what mobo is it? I doubt it's the power supply too. I'd go back to stock speed and voltage for testing, check the SATA cables, check SMART info.

ntoskrnl.exe for the first one and ntkrnlmp.exe for the second but you answered your own question. Get rid of the Ballistix. Stuff is evil. Long story short a friend had a system that would pass memtest all day, every day, but still BSOD. After way too much messing around with it he just swapped...

I would also manually set the timings to see if it's a compatibility issue with the RAM. If you have a known good power supply you may want to try that as well.

Run diskpart on a Vista/W7 machine. This will erase your flash drive. select disk 4 (4 being the number of YOUR flash drive. Could be a different number) clean create partition primary select partition 1 active format fs=fat32 label="Name your UFD here" quick exit Copy W7 DVD to flash drive...

That would be cool if I won seeing as I'm having issues with an old Nvidia card and Windows 7. Thanks Galaxy!

Your best bet is to take apart the laptop so you can get the part number off the back of the LCD so you know you are ordering the right one. Not just any 15.4" LCD will work and you should get the one that is the same resolution as the one you currently have.
