Use former external drive as internal.?
I have a 2 tb external drive that has all my music and photos on it. The USB part of it is now dead. No light comes on and no access to hard drive. I removed it from the enclosure thinking that I could just connect it to the internal SATA connection inside my PC. Now anytime the former external drive is connected the PC refuses to boot up and acts like there is no drive connected.

2 AnswersDrama8 years agoIs it possible to "overfast" for a blood test?
I came into two different places after having fasted for 12 hours. Both refused to do the test because I had "fasted too long." I always thought that the ten hours mentioned on the lab order was a minimum and was proud that I had gone a little longer just to make sure.
1 AnswerOther - Health8 years agoCan I recieve Social Security DISABILITY without enough quarters?
I am 58 and have been totally disabled for about 20 years. Most of my working years were under the Civil Service Retirement System, which does not count for SS. Because I would apply for disability only, does this change the quarters requirement?
6 AnswersInsurance8 years agoWasher/dryer Philippines?
I am from the US and have been here in Cavite Province, Philippines for a couple of years. A month ago, my sponsor suggested we buy a "fully automatic washer/dryer" which he thought would cost around 45k Php. I have spent alot of time in Abenson looking at these things. I see the big old American style where one big unit washes the clothes and another one dries them. I also see the over-under apartment size, but I can't find a "fully automatic washer/dryer". That description sounds like one machine where you put your dirty clothes and later take them out and wear them, with no line drying required.
Also I see alot of plastic washers with one or two vertical drums. I dont have a clue about those.
A language and cultural problem prevents getting any advice in the store. They dont know what I am talking about and vice versa.
So, is there a device that is truly a "fully automatic washer/dryer" or are we stuck taking the clothes out after the spin cycle and hanging them up? I am not complaining about having to do that, I just want to know what to expect.
8 AnswersPhilippines9 years agoHow to increase number of pixels?
I run three identical monitors at 1280 x 1024. Regular desktop background pixs are just repeated on each screen. I have read that the way to spread one pic accross all screens is to use the "tile" setting and have each pic exactly the right size to fill all three screens.
I need to know how to convert a regular image to be 3840 x 1024 to cover all the screens. I understand that the resolution and quality will be poor, but oh well.
2 AnswersMonitors9 years agoyahoo changes my email address?
Ok. I started my Yahoo account in 1998 and used it regular till now.
About a year ago I moved to Philippines. Now people tell me that their emails to me from the US are being returned as deliverable. I still get some email so I know it is working.
I finally got a chance to see one of the Mailer Daemon undeliverable notices.
My actual email is michaelsgreene@yahoo.com These return notices claim that the emails were sent to michael.greene@rocketmail.com. This is not an email that I have ever used and I don't understand.
Any ideas.?

2 AnswersLand Phones1 decade agoHow to fly standby on Korean Air?
I flew to Manila in September. I wasn't sure how long I would stay so I booked my return for next July. I have now decided that it is time to go back home (Seattle) but I am stuck. It was an Orbitz booking but there is no way to change my reservation online and my phone line is so bad, I cant the through the voice response phone system.
Can I just go to the airport here in Manila and wait for there to be an open seat? I think people do this but I don't know how. Do I check in my luggage and wait for a seat? A detailed answer would be great.
All I have is the orbitz itinerary print out of my trip. Its Korean Air,

1 AnswerVideo & Online Games1 decade agothree monitors two cards?
I am rephrasing a previous question.
I have a invidia 8600 gt running two monitors.
I now have a third monitor that I want to add.
The 8600 uses the only agp slot and all I have left are pci slots and two pci express connections.
ASUS P5B XP home Core 2 Duo,.
I put a Trident 3d image 975 pci card in and it has problems with the existing card and won't run.
I know one option is to get a three monitor video card but I don't want to spend the money.
How can I make the three monitors work?
4 AnswersMonitors1 decade agoTwo video cards with three monitors.?
I had an nvidia 8600gt graphics card running two monitors. I just purchased an additional monitor and I am trying to use it with Trident Accelerated 3d Image 975 video card. Either video card works well with the monitor(s) connected to it, but when I leave both video cards in the third (new) monitor stays black. In the device driver list the Trident card has a yellow triangle by it, however when the Trident card is running on its own, the triangle is not present. Do I need a different video card or is something else wrong.
I read that Windows XP can run 6 monitors at once.

4 AnswersMonitors1 decade agoWindows 7 aero and GeForce 8600GT?
I want to go from XP to Windows 7 and I'm especially interested in running the Aero interface. The w7 advisor says my video card will not support aero, but doesn't really say why.
The card supports the hardware requirements so I think the problem may be here:
"Aero also requires a DirectX 9 class graphics processor that supports a Windows Display Driver Model Driver, Pixel Shader 2.0 in hardware, and 32 bits per pixel."
My card supports DirectX 10 but I don't know about the other two things.
