    I want to put a new hard drive in my laptop. It is a HP about 4 years old (not sure the make and model since I'm at work right now)

    1. Where can I buy one?
    2. Can I do it myself if I'm not a complete idiot?
    3. How do I put an operating system on it without dropping big $$$ ?

    Invest in oil, energy, religion and enjoy the ride.

    Also, get spare tires for a bike and ride it at least 5 km a day.

    Be prepared to travel 3 days away from human contact.

    Learn how to purify water.

    You can also try ebay.

    you're alive emcee, good job.

    as a side topic on computers, mine has just decided to stop making any sound.

    it;'s off mute. i've tried with head phones. i've checked the drivers and they're all apparently working fine.

    isn;'t it brilliant when things stop working with no logical explanation.

    i've just added bobby pickett's 'monster mash' to my myspace profile. so it's sort of an emergency.

    you don't have to do a system restore, usually my sound dies cuz im running too much shit (i need more ram but to lazy to go get some) so i just shut down some shit and viola, it comes back because im also too lazy to reboot, obv have to keep the computer running. f turning it off

    Ye, if the sound card driver crashes, the best way to restart it is to reboot the OS.

    sounds like the driver is messed up.

    1) Right click on the "My Computer Icon on your desktop
    2) Choose Hardware Tab
    3) Choose Device Manager
    4) If your sound card driver is messed up, usually the tree will expand the tree and show it as an issue.
    5) Right click on the sound driver, Choose Properties
    6) Choose Update Driver.
