Hi, I am about to purchase a new Dell Vista 64-bit system. I originally intended to have a pair of 500gb to 640gb hard drives in a Raid 1 configuration, so I would have automatic duplication of both OS and data files. If one drive failed, I could just swap in the other, and be good to go. The particular system I'm looking at doesn't offer a Raid 1 configuration, only Raid 0. The system...

I run chkdsk a few times a week, usually overnight or when I'm going to be out of the house for quite a while. I figure it really does no harm and is a good form of system maintenance that can be done while the computer is out of use. The other day I woke up and the system had a blank screen (monitor snoozed). When I moved the mouse, the monitor didn't wake up. I had to reset the PC and skip...

It takes absolute ages to access the content on a DVD. For example I can wait for over two minutes for a DVD movie to be accessible (from the time I close the drive). Any ideas why?
