Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!
Sure thing!
Anyone have an Office Depot near them? Apparently one/some have Seagate Passport 750GB portable drives on clearance today.
I need a new external. pretty sure mine is on its last legs. is this a good buy?
It's not bad. This is better: [link]
I've had one of these (1 TB) for over a year now, and it works great. It started life as a Time Machine drive + media server, then got transferred to being a video editing repository.
what i liked about the other one is that i could network it and access my files from anywhere.
So, what's the easiest way to wipe a hard drive on an XP machine? Boot into DOS 5 and reformat? That's what I used to do, anyway. But so far I haven't been able to find our DOS disk.
This is what I use for pretty much any disk wiping and partitioning.

Cool! But I finally managed to get the thing to boot from the install CD, so I reformatted that way.
Next step: Install Windows 7! And the new version of IE!
Maybe I should get out more.

Ah-ha. That is cool. I do that by plugging it into my router (which has a USB port for sharing drives and printers over the network) but if your router can't do that it is a useful feature.
