I finally decided to get an external hard drive for my Windows 7 laptop, but I’m not sure what size I should get. I’m in ‘my computer’ looking at the C: hard disk drive space, and it’s telling me I have 325 free of 451 GB… does this include my main folder where I keep all my pictures, videos, and documents? or is that only the hard drive itself?

When I get an external hard drive, I want to back up not only my main folder where I keep everything, but my entire operating system as well. Would a 500 GB be enough? Or should I get it bigger to make space for my main folder?

Additional question.. I currently have Mozy, but I feel like it is a waste of money, and I can’t be positive that it is ACTUALLY storing my files safely, that’s why I’m switching to a hard drive. Mozy is telling me that I haven’t paid to keep the subscription (I stopped like a year ago!) yet it still is daily backing up my files… Is it actually saving my files? It’s a bit confusing since I stopped paying for it..
Thanks!

Hi all,

I understand that Virtual PC 2007, like 2004, is supposed to use your hardware configuration and "mimic" the ideal settings for the operating system you have installed.
Now, I have Windows 3.1-Vista installed in VPC 2007. In Windows XP, it says under "System Information" that I am running a AMD Athlon 64 X2 @ 2.5GHz. However, while it says the same thing in Vista Ultimate, on my "CPU Meter" it only shows up as a single core. It isn’t a huge deal, but it "maxes out" often, and when I originally had Vista on this computer, it was never a problem.

That being said, I Installed the "Virtual PC Additions," which fixed a lot of small things, however, "hardware virtualization" is not enabled for this PC. That may explain why I can’t get any of my USB ports to work on the Virtual PC.

Is there a way for my processor to show up as a dual core on Vista, and for my USB ports to work? Or is VPS 2007 limited a single core?
Unfortunately, it just shows 1. I would download the new Windows PC one, but it is not compatible with Windows 3.1-98. Might not even work with 2000. If they could co-exist, I would, but it overwrites the old one.
Hi " * " ,

The only option is one, so I guess it’s only emulating as a single core. Not much I can do then. Thank you!

Obviously, a Droid probably uses the Android OS, but I know that some phones aren’t actually Droids, but use the Android OS. So, what is the difference in what I am going to get with each product. Is either better than the other. I am specifically looking at an LG Optimus S, but didn’t know how this would differ from a Droid.

They use the same Android operating system, does that mean it has the same stuff? But it costs 0 less.
