Can I use a hard-drive platter as a reflecting mirror for a portable projector?

Yeah, you can do anything, but will the disk reflect properly and is it ground/shined properly?\n\nTry it rather than wasting time asking about it.

The link suggests laminations with polarized films.  Good luck.

Should work, yeah. Make sure you play the video full-screen, obviously. The quality might (probably will) suck.

Probably not, I doubt that it uses a standard hard drive. However, you may be able to connect an external hard drive to the USB port. You could try pressing MENU 8-6, selecting “ERD Setup”, selecting “Enable recordings to an external device” and selecting “OK” and "Done", then connecting your hard drive. I don’t know that this will work (the owners manual doesn’t say anything about ERDs), so you should probably ask DISH before you buy anything.

Not yet...\nThe solution is to use Holographic projection.\nYour screen would be the same as a hologram, and, instead of showing a picture, would have to be "written" by "scattering vectors".  This, in theory, would allow you to see THROUGH the screen a scenery in 3D (behind!), providing the processor can trace scatering vectors fast enough.\nTo get it IN FRONT of the screen is more complex.\nLet's first get monitors "see through" in 3D!

I could be wrong, but I do not believe you can do this with a TV.  However, I've known people that can do what you ask with an Xbox and, in-turn, create a PC out of it.\n\nDepending on how you do it will vary on what device you're trying to connect your external HD to.  The internet is full of resources on how to do this or what others have done that have worked for them.\n\nUnfortunately this is the best answer I can give you.

Not worth the effort. Guessing u want to dump "trashed" computer rather than get rid of the "horse". I'd get rid of the horse and save the computer. The other optionis "scrap" the hd (as thats only place the horse lives) and stick a blank (cheep used) ("F" disc it first and don't put anything on it) drive in it, and sell it for what ever....

Yes you sure can. All you need is an enclosure for it. It will house the HD and allow you to connect it to a USB port.

Buy a sphere of pure aluminum and start polishing it with increasingly higher grit sand paper (until you get up to around 2000 grit or so).  Then use some Mother's Polish to get it to a fine mirror shine.  There you go, a mirror sphere.  \n\nHowever, I think you are going to be quite disappointed when you get this object in your possession.

Well for storage burn an image of it to your harddrive ...iso

Yes it can be done, acutally that is the basic working principal of a  LCD, but the clarity of the image is not so good

Hi! I don´t think you can do it, unless you have a video input  in your laptop. Anyway It would be dfficult.\n Maybe you could do it separating your laptop display from the mainboard and build an interface between your display and a VGA connector (to attach it to your desktop PC).\n\n If you success with your project, please share your experiences with me.

The only viable option besides copying to the hard drive is the Disc Stakka from Imation. See more info here: http://www.imation.com.au/products/disc_stakka/index.htm\nhttp://www.imation.com/products/disc_stakka/index.html\n\nAdded the U.S. link. My mistake.

You would need to buy a hard drive caddy, similar to this.\n\nhttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USB-2-0-HDD-HARD-DISK-DRIVE-CADDY-CASE-ENCLOSURE-PC-MAC_W0QQitemZ8805071844QQcategoryZ96894QQtcZphotoQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

you should be able to do a remote desktop, or use www.gotomypc.com, that is what I use when I travel for business to connect to our server.  Hope this helps

No.  You might possibly be able to find an external DVD drive on Ebay that might retrofit something that old.  Maybe.  And by the time you get done fiddlying farting around with it, you'd still be money better off ahead buying one for like 130 bucks at Radio Shack
