open the case...you will have to figure that out on your own. most likely removing screws on the back. look for the old hard drive. NOW before you touch ANYTHING, touch a bare metal spot on your case to remove any static electricity you may be carrying. there will be a wide flat grey ribbon cable on the back of the hard drive. carefully remove it from the hard drive only. there will also be a smaller white plug with 4 wires unplug that too. Most hard driver are held in by 4 screws. remove them and slide out the old drive. slide in the new drive, the 4 screws, and the 4 wire cable and flat ribbon cable. the connectors are keyed and only go in one way. that was the easy part. now you need to install the operating system. boot the computer up and pop in your o/s disc, then reboot. you will want to boot from the cd, with cd support. when you see the A:/ prompt. type in "fdisk" with out the quotation marks and hit enter. follow the prompts with yes to everything until you get to the menu screen. here you need to create a primary dos partition using all available hard drive space. when it done, reboot by pushing and holding down on the power button until it shuts down. start it up again and boot from the cd with cd support. this time you can start installing windows(98 or ME). when asked if you want to format, yes you do. when thats done, the o/s should start to install(we having fun yet?).....good luck

That my friend depends on the maximum capacity of your wallet and how much you are willing to part with.\n\nThe processor or the amount of ram have nothing to do with the size of the hard disk.

Disable the Firewall and try (right click the icon by the time)\n\nAlternatively, the size of the attachment WILL cause problems if it is generally7 over 1 mb

I would format the hard drive and start again.\n\nFlashing the bios updates the brain of the poota. I wouldn't recommend that at all. If you get it wrong you then have a big heavy paper weight.\n\n\nXP only runs on NTFS

You can connect upto 180 GB of HDD to Asus P4S533-MX. But you only connect parallel ATA Hard Disk this board does't support SATA HDD.

It doesn't have to be the EXACT same drive.  In reality it doesn't even have to be the same size.  BUT it is recommended they be the same type/size for best performance and to eliminate "waste".  What does need to be identical is the partition sizes on both drives. Another 7200rpm 160MB SATA HDD would be recommended in your case.

This is not a choice.\nDual core are (usually) capable of 64 bit.\nIt's like asking "What's better, a Rottweiler or a dog?"\n///

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.

For that i use alcohol 120\nhttp://www.alcohol-soft.com/\n\nit is worth buying as it supports a many other different image formats. you can try it free for 30 where after it stops working. In alcohol you can set up as many virtual drives as you like. then in alcohol you right click your virtual drive ans select mount image. browse to where the image is stored and it mounts it.\n\nIf you go to my computer you will see extra dvd-drives, how ever many virtual dirves you set up. In my coimputer you can also right click on any virtual drive and select mount image. \n\nDeamon tools can also do the job but the last time i downloaded deamon tools it was bundled with spyware.
