You have to have boot from Firewire/ usb on your board, or have it boot from Usb as the first bootable device. Now, your board also has to support this feature... and hoanstly, why do you want do to this? this is just so pointless... if you want the speed, just get and IDE to Sata cross over bridge they are like 30 bucks.   Secondly, take it from a computer tek, its really pointless.

unfortunatly usb 1.1 is not fast enough to reliably support even the slowest dvd burners, you may be able to use your dvd burner with a usb 1.1 connection, but only to burn cd's and even then probably only at 4x (pretty d*mn slow) most.\n\nWikipedias info on transfer speed\nTransfer speed\n\nUSB supports three data rates.\n\n    * A Low Speed rate of 1.5 Mbit/s (183 KiB/s) that is mostly used for Human Interface Devices (HID) such as keyboards, mice and joysticks.\n    * A Full Speed rate of 12 Mbit/s (1.4 MiB/s). Full Speed was the fastest rate before the USB 2.0 specification and many devices fall back to Full Speed. Full Speed devices divide the USB bandwidth between them in a first-come first-served basis and it is not uncommon to run out of bandwidth with several isochronous devices. All USB Hubs support Full Speed.\n    * A Hi-Speed rate of 480 Mbit/s (57 MiB/s).\n\nThough Hi-Speed devices are commonly referred to as "USB 2.0", not all USB 2.0 devices are Hi-Speed. A USB device should specify the speed it will use by correct labeling on the box it came in or sometimes on the device itself. The USB-IF certifies devices and provides licenses to use special marketing logos for either "Basic-Speed" (low and full) or High-Speed after passing a compliancy test and paying a licensing fee. All devices are tested according to the latest spec, so recently-compliant Low Speed devices are also 2.0.\n\nHi-Speed devices should fall back to the slower data rate of Full Speed when plugged into a Full Speed hub. Hi-Speed hubs have a special function called the Transaction Translator that segregates Full Speed and Low Speed bus traffic from Hi-Speed traffic. The Transaction Translator in a Hi-Speed hub (or possibly each port depending on the electrical design) will function as a completely separate Full Speed bus to Full Speed and Low Speed devices attached to it. This segregation is for bandwidth only; bus rules about power and hub depth still apply.

OK.....does the school block www.logmein.com ??\n\nIf not then set up your home computer for a free logmein account and providing it is switched on and connected on line while you are in school you can access it via the logmein site and then have your own desktop from home displayed full screen in your school!! The service has a small lag and is very usable and becoming very popular. There is only a very small piece of software you need to download to your home computer to enable it and the school computer needs to be running IE6 for best performance. Mac's are not supported fully unfortunately.\nGood Luck

DJ Rick is right.  Remove the hard drive and either set the drive as a primary slave in another computer, or get a external hard drive kit for notebook hard drives (about $30) and install the drive into it.  It converts the harddrive into an external hard drive.  You connect it to a computer via USB and plug in the a/c power cord to supply power to the drive and that's all here is to it.  Should take you under 5 minutes to assemble the hard drive into an external hard drive kit.  CompUSA carries the kits.  Good luck.

More info would help.\n\nIf the computer you're working on is Windows 98 or older, you would need to install the driver before using the Jump Drive.  Any OS version after Windows XP should be plug-n-play.\n\nAnother idea might that the USB port on the computer stopped working.  You may need to uninstall the USB hub and install it again (computer should automatically install after reboot).  Follow the instructions under Remove and reinstall all USB controllers http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=310575\n\nWhat else could be wrong? Faulty jump drive now? Is the computer unable to read the Jump Drive? Make sure it's seated properly.  If there are four USB port on the computer, always use THAT particular USB port always.  For example, there's four USB port on the computer.  You used insert the Jump Drive into port three.  From now on, always use port three.  Not first, second, nor fourth port.\n\nLast but not least, visit the Lexar web site http://lexar.com/

If you can see the contents of the drive on another pc, then it might be necessary to reinitialize the usbhub attibute on your pc.  Go to my computer, right click and choose manage.  bring up the the device manager, and delete the usb hub. then have the computer re-review the pc components.  this should bring the hub back up with the right drivers.  then put the stick in and see what happens

A memory stick is a device used to store stuff, much like a disk.  They generally do not come with your computer and most are compatible with all computers.  If your computer came with a removable USB device that stores stuff - then the type does not rally matter.   If you need more memory for your computer that is a different question.  If so - re-post the question as "What type of memory does my HP have?".  If this is your question, I assume you need more memory, if that is the case then many times CompUSA or a similar store can help if you give them your model number, they can tell you what type of memory to get, they want to sell it :).    You do not have to buy from then, just becuase they tell you the type you need.  Hope that helps.

External drives are more for occaisional use - the USB interface is much slower than what you'd get with an internal drive.  \n\nIf you want better performance, get an internal drive.  They're really quite easy to install, and are cheaper than the external ones since they don't have an enclosure.

You can run this of CD, USB, and even in RAM\nhttp://www.damnsmalllinux.org/\n\nTo intall to USB drive:\nFirst, boot up your computer from the DSL livecd, frugal, or USB-frugal. Note that it is not possible to do a USB install, or any other kind of install from a DSL Embedded system. \n\nIn the Fluxbox menu, go Apps >> Tools >> Install to USB Pendrive and choose either USB-ZIP emulation or USB-HDD emulation, depending on what is supported by your computer's bios.

better u download it from a 'cd' (compact disc) because , if u install it from net may it contain any virus or else a file missing........or else you may download it from a well known website which will help you the best because they need their name so they dont keep their files missing or any virus in it....as many people download it........;-)

Detech All the USB devices and Run the Installation CD of WindowsXP, but don;t do a fresh Installation instead opt for Upgrading the operating system.. This way you need not to install al the other software again..\n  And believe me with windows this is the best option,will take only 50 Mins,and you need not to have tension in your mind..\n  (Iassume your hardware is working fine)

It really depends upon your budget.  You might look in the local newspaper or if your parents are willing to help in the search go to google and search for "used laptops" or "refurbished laptops".  The online sites often offer less expensive options than local sites.  My son is in 8th grade and all you need to browse the web is 128MB of RAM and an older P3 or even a P2 laptop.  I'm not sure what the issue is with your existing desktop.  If you are on a modem, then the issue is more the speed of your link to Internet than the computer itself.

Let me get this right, it says you need to format it, in order to be able to use it?  The only thing I can think of is if you were trying to boot from it, it might say that, but Windows is telling you this?  If you were using Windows XP you shouldn't even have needed to install drivers, it should have just worked.  Format means it would completely wipe the drive, typically done when you either want to sell the drive or reinstall Windows.\n\nIs the drive working now?  I just can't fathom this... unless you aren't using Windows XP.  What operating system are you using right now?\n\nI'm asking because if the drive had Windows XP on it, it was most likely formatted as a NTFS drive.  If you plugged the drive into a Windows 98/ME machine, it would not recognize the NTFS format (probably, it's been a LONG time since I've used any Windows 9x OS) and would want to format it.\n\nWell, that's your problem then.  Windows ME will not recognize a drive that had Windows XP on it that was formatted as NTFS.  If the XP drive had been formatted as FAT32 then Windows ME would not have had a problem with it.  But, since it isn't recognizing it, it's a safe assumption that the drive was formatted as NTFS.  I think the "computer guy" assumed that it was FAT32 (though how he could have missed that is beyond me) or that you were going to plug it into another Windows XP machine.  If it were a blank drive (non-formatted) it would indeed be compatible with all the operating systems you listed.  But, as I said, the NTFS format is compatible only with Windows 2000/XP and Mac OS can read NTFS formatted volumes but not write to them.\n\nGet access to a PC that has Windows XP on it, plug the drive it, pull all the files you want off of it, burn them to a CD or stick them on a flash drive and transfer them to your laptop.  Or get yourself a new laptop that has Windows XP on it.  (I don't know how much you are willing to spend in this pursuit).\n\nTo everyone who's answered this question, it's not a drive problem or a USB problem, it's the simple fact that Windows ME cannot read a NTFS formatted drive.\n\nThat gives me another thought.  While you can safely convert a FAT32 volume to NTFS the same is not true for NTFS to FAT32, in fact, it's dangerous, it may result in data loss.  Partition Magic among other programs has the ability to convert a NTFS volume back to FAT32 but it may result in damaging files and you may end up having to reformat the drive after all.\n\nThe only answer and the only correct answer is to plug the drive into a Windows XP or 2000 based system and see if the drive is recognized, I'm 99% sure it will be.  If it is not then I could only take a wild guess as to what is wrong with it.

You log onto it on YOUR OWN computer - not the school's (taxpayer's) computer.  School computers are for school work. Personal computing should be done on your own computer.

Um not in the sense you're suggesting, but you CAN write and rewrite stuff on there. But I would just suggest a simple flash drive. For $5 after rebate you get firewall+1 GB flash drive.\n\nhttp://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=2563541&CatId=0
