I have a class that is teaching me the fundamentals of computer use and internet basics.  I usually find what I need but that is because I don't require much (from the internet).  I am required to find "the largest PC hard drive available on the Internet" and print the first page to show that I have found it.  Another example of the assignment is "find a dictionary of cliches."  Once found, I print the first page and voila! I'm done.  I have tried seven different search engines and cannot find anything that specifically addresses the largest pc hard drive available ON the internet.  Help!!!

Above answer is wrong. This "1TB disk" consists of two 500GB disks. Either you can use them as RAID 0 (2x500GB = 1TB) or as RAID 1 (mirrored = 500GB, on both disks is exact the same data).\nUntil now i've never seen a PC hard disk larger than 500GB.\nThese are the largest ones\nhttp://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.asp?N=2010150014+1035307886&Submit=ENE&SubCategory=14

Too much effort for too little return. Hard drive retrieval services are costly.\n\nIf you do not have your original install disk for Windows ME and you really truly want it, go to a computer show and check out the vendors who have the used/discarded stuff.\n\nWindows ME was not considered a success on the part of Microsoft.

hi there,\n    oh yea, most of us have this problem, ok here we go, first of all in win XP there is a system restore feature, which eats a lot of disk space, last week I retrieved 1.2 gb from my friends harddrive by disabling system restore.  So, if you are sure that you pc in future will not require SYSTEM RESTORE feature then disable it by RIGHT CLICK on MY COMPUTER - > PROPERTIES - > then select SYSTEM RESTORE tab, then, using settings turn off system restore for all drives. this will save more space.\n\nAnd regarding the files you want to delete, open the search box below the LOOK IN box click WHAT SIZE IS IT?, then specify the estimated size like starting from 512000kb(500MB) (for every MB add 1024 kb), then click on MORE ADVANCED OPTIONS check the boxes of SEARCH SYSTEM FOLDERS(IF U WANT),SEARCH HIDDEN FILES AND FOLDERS, SEARCH SUBFOLDERS. thats it, by specifying these results you can search for a specified sized files even if its hidden.\n\n   I think the files in the temporary folders (TEMP N TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES) are not shown, for that go to ur system drive then DOCUMENTS AND SETTINGS->(select ur login id)->LOCAL SETTINGS, in this folder you can see the two temporary folders, try to search those folders individually using search options.\n\nthats it\n see ya,\nK.A.G.S.

Grab the updates for xp home ( ie xp service packs ) SP 1 and defintly 2 includes some support for large hard drive support. The main factor in getting large hard drive support working ( will be support for it in the bios ) namely 48-bit LBA ( Large Block Addressing ). Restart the machine and make sure that this is enabled in the bios, if you dont have it in your bios you will most likely have to do a bios update and then enable it.\n\nLook here :\n\nhttp://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb%3Ben-us%3B303013\n\nhttp://www.largeharddrivesupport.windowsreinstall.com/winxp.htm\n\nHopefully this helps :)

Only the WalMart data center has enough storage space to house the entire World Wide Web. And besides, with internet content changing every second, why would you want a copy of it?\n\nSeriously, there is far too much data on the Web to be housed in your computer....

Right click on my computer --> manage\n\nGo to disk management and post back and let me know if it sees the hard drive.\n\nDo you have any thing on the hard drive ( I know you said it as new ) but if you have any data on there and you wipe it, you will obviously lose it.\n\nAnyway if not then just format it in disk management and it should then appear in windows.\n\nIf thats not the case then please post back with more specific info , ie motherboard make and model.\n\nIf you need help with getting that info post back as well.

well...let's have a look on how this works:\n(very simplified)\nvirtual memory is a means of page switching, it switches a memory page with a page of the same size on the harddrive,thus the aparent memory is 2 times the size of the memory page.if the system needs data from the page on the harddrive ,the page will be switched back.\n\nActually there are many pages used, of small sizes.on the harddrive there are stored in one single file,being delimitated by their size only.\nso...now imagine you have 1Gb of ram, and your computer is only used for basic things.....wouldn't be a waste of space to have a 10Gb virtual memory?\nand another thing...seeking in a small file is faster than in an extremely large file,so.....use a fair amount of space for virtual memory....not the max available as it it's pointless.\nhope this helps

Sorry I missed the point for so long -- edited 2/23/06:\n\ngo to http://www.google.com\n\nfor your search use: Presario SR1638 Desktop\njust as you typed it for this question\n\ngoogle recommends you press "enter" instead of clicking search, but, both work well.\n\nThis will provide access to many reviews specific to Presario SR1638 Desktops as well as comparisons with other computers, places to buy, manufacturers website, etc.\n\nPerhaps more information than you had intended. For most google searches it is a waste of time to go to the second or more pages of a given search result. Read the blurbs on the first page and choose your 'information poison'. One can spend hours exploring all the links on the first page. The second and following pages provide more obscure references the further you go.\n\nIf you are amused by the foibles of machine relevance, dig down a few pages.\n\nIt is likely that google will find personal web pages with the information you want, but, since most personal web page writers are search-engine clueless you will have to dig through a lot of garbage to find them.\n\n\n!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, this doe not work in this case but it does well 80% of the time.\n\n'Presario Desktop' gives lots of garbage to work on. If you were to write about your computer on your web page, would you think of using the model number many many times to improve the search engine placement of your comments? Would you add the model number to your meta-tags so the search engine can find your page more easily? Imaging how much more work the search engine could accomplish if we humans would only be more cooperative.\n\n!!!!!!!!! This addition helps about 10%, but not in this case.\n\nhttp://www.pricegrabber.com collects user reviews but does not have them for every product. Most are from only a few days experience and of limited value.\n\n\n!!!!!!!! True, but no help in this case.\n\nThere is some support for the idea that Presario and SR1638 do not refer to the same item. For example: in the fine print of an add for "Compaq Presario SR1638nx-b Desktop PC Bundle" is the information "CPQ SR1638 NX-B Desktop" which does not really fall under 'Presario' according to HP. It shows up under 'Hewlett Packard OfficeMax'. Apparently this is a limited edition Presario designed to specifications provided by OfficeMax. Since OfficeMax is no longer intending to stock this item, it has become available to the "bargain market" until the current stock runs out.\n\n!!!!!!!!!! Fascinating , but what does this mean?\n\nSomeone at OfficeMax had a bright idea for a computer system. Hewlett Packard agreed this bright idea might sell and the CPQ SR1638 NX-B Desktop was produced exclusively for OfficeMax distribution. The reason these computers are now entering the internet market may be nothing more than the end-of-contract inventory at either company.\n\nThe user information you are looking for went to OfficeMax Stores in customer rants – pro or con. People who buy their computer at OfficeMax are not likely to spend time on the internet (in the somewhat doubtful event they actually do spend time on the internet) commenting about their computer. They have more important / better things to do. My impression of the OfficeMax target population is 1) middle class or better 2) business-busy / spare-time-challenged. 3) possibly internet-authoring challenged -- they read but do not bother writing.

Based on the hundreds of systems I have seen.\n\nMost people never install anything that takes up any significant amount of space.\n\nQuite a few of the computers I have seen are running with 80+% of their hard disk free. \n\nALmost all computers I have seen have had greater than 50% of their space free.\n\nThe thing is people who actually fill their computers with stuff, are normaly very computer skilled, and usualy dont have to call me. =)  But, as a general rule those are 1 in 10 maybe 1 in 7 of the computer users in the world\n\nThe most common hard disk size I have seen lately is between 40 and 120 GB's.

I couldn't find any English assistance when I did a search on the file in Google, and the file is not on my PC. What is your F:&#92; drive though.  maybe that will give us some insight.

First off, your CPU doesnt store files! Its the brain of your computer! Its a chip on your motherboard! Your hard drive stores files! My advice? Spend a couple bucks at the local college for a basic computer course before you spend a fortune gettin your PC fixed because you dont know what you are doing!

first run disc cleanup< rightclick localdisk>,then prss disc clean,next go to run>%temp% and press ok this will take you to your temporary folder,which can hold up to 3to 4 gb of temp data,just go to edit>select all then delete selected items,otherwise look on ebay for 20gb drives which pop up for round about £10 now and again\n         you should be better getting a second drive than worrying about space all the time,i wish i lived near by as i have 3 or 4 spare 20gb hard drives,you could have had one\n    good luck

When you look at the properties of the disk, what size does it report (NOT what size you think you should have) and how much is used and how much is free.\nTo do a defragment you need around 15% free IIRC.\nHave you run 'Disk Cleanup' from the properties page?\nHave you been into Internet Explorer - TOOLS - Internet Options - (Temporary Internet Files) - Delete Files ?? - this may take a LONG time.\nHave you been into your &#92;Windows&#92;Temp directory and removed all old/unwanted files from there?\n\nThe Cleanup Facility should remove most of these, however if you have certain websites that you log onto semi or fully automatically it is often not wise to block delete all of your cookies, as you will have to enter your info again when you next log on first time.\n\nYou can go into the cookies area and manually remove all those you don't recognise, but not for the faint hearted.\n\nThe error you mention is the XP cabinet directory and the file is a a True Type Font that has not yet been expanded.

You need to choose, which type of application do you want to use the Hard Disk (HD)?\n\nVideo, picture, and audio: the HD need to have a large capacity in GB and a lot of cache memory or buffer. This is necessary because this type of files are large and the HD has to delivery without delays. Second is the velocity in RPM could be around 7200.\n\nDatabase, commercial applications and Internet: HD need to have the ability to delivery a lots of files or little pieces of information, you need to looking for average seek time, RPM could be almost 7200. This type of application some times don't need a large HD, but they need a fast access to the information.\n\nThe warranty and service in your area for the HD that you want to buy is an important fact, because this type of device is usually fragile.\n\nThe Operative System (O.S.) in your computer, Some HD works well with a specific O.S. or application. The most popular OS are; Linux, Mac or Windows.\n\nDon't forget that the amount of memory RAM is very important in the HD performance. The actual applications eat a lot of MB RAM. I recommend almost 512 MB RAM for general applications, and 1GB or more for Video and graphics applications.\n\nYou said a decent system, I suppose that you have a motherboard that support latest HD technology, Processor is almost 1 Ghz and 256 Mb DDR Memory whit 400 MHz on bus, Video Card with 64 MB.

get yourself a folder that zips shut, I have one that is made for records keeping, many different dividers (made for alphabetical sorting) keeps things divided.  also wouldn't be a bad idea to always keep a backup copy on your computer.  If you type the work on your computer its easy to save it all, if not you could always pick up a cheep scanner and scan the homework!  You could even e-mail the files to yourself at an email you can get to from school.  Hope that helps, now if I could just find my car keys!

I don't know where you are but here in Houston I go to independent computer stores, ones that are owned by computer geeks.  I bought a 2 year old Dell refurbished by them for only 200.00.  They completely erase the hard drives before they sell them and then put the OS on them if you want it when you buy it.  So my suggestion would be an independent dealer.  You will never find one at a retailer, becuase they get paid by the software companies to promote their software.
