General Question. I have multiple external hard drives, 3-4 to be exact, each from about 250GB-500GB and have to do some disk checking and defragmentation on them. I was wondering what would you suggest for good tools that can be used to find/repair damaged sectors (if there is any)?

Cause currently i'm just using the Windows 7 Error Checking Tools (chkdsk.exe and disk defragmenter) and its taking a good while, and was wondering that there has to be an easier means.

Btw, all hard drives are NTFS. ]]> Software Elder_Usr http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=203836 <![CDATA[Acer Aspire 5050 keyboard won't work properly]]> http://forums.majorgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=203835&goto=newpost Sun, 22 Nov 2009 05:31:09 GMT I am working on an Acer Aspire 5050. When I first saw it, you had to strike the keyboard keys with force and repeatedly to get it to type a letter. On average, for every 10 strikes, it would type 4 strokes. I have researched this and have found no answers, just a lot of speculation and "try a restore or reformat", which is not an option for this owner. I tried disabling the Launch Manager, which controls the keyboard, but it made no difference after it reinstalled. I did see a post about the ACPI possibly being an issue. Since I could not find a way to disable it, and I did not want to risk having no battery management and who knows what other side effects, I decided to try the unit without the battery installed. I shut down the computer, removed the battery and rebooted the computer. Guess what - no more keyboard issue!! However, as soon as I put the battery back in, the keyboard stopped working properly again! The battery still seems to hold a good charge, lasting 1.5 hours according to the owner.
Does anyone have any thoughts?

I have an IBM ThinkPad R51 laptop (type 1831) which I bought in 2004 so it's a little old. I basically just use it for browsing the web but the problem is with the wireless. Sometimes when I turn on the computer the internet will work just fine. Other times the wireless signal comes in and out, never staying on long enough for me to be able to do anything. If I go into the device manager the network adapter shows three things.

1. 1394 Net Adapter #2
2. Intel(R) PRO/1000 MT Mobile Connection
3. Intel(R) PRO/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection

If the internet is going in and out, I just disable the 2nd one (PRO/100 MT Mobile Connection) and everything seems to work just fine. Does anyone know what that one is for? Any way to completely disable it? I am trying to stabilize the laptop for 6 more months before I buy a new one.

I've been trying to import the files from "My Pictures"/"My Documents" from a CD I made with my previous XP computer into my new computer with Windows 7.

I tried clicking on the "import pictures and videos" prompt when I insert the CD, but it will show an approximate time it finishes, then freezes seconds into it, only a couple pictures make it.

I've tried to copy and paste between 2 windows (one window displaying CD contents, the other window with "My Pictures" file open on the new computer).
I'll try to copy one folder of pictures, it copies a couple pictures over then freezes. It said there were 20 seconds left, but the bar stopped moving.

I was hoping to find an easy "Import" option in the File Menu of "My Pictures" in Windows 7.
