it is a laptop, and pbz mag would i be able to say, erase every single file on another computer identical to it and then convert the files? i mean like erasing windows, will the converter cable be able to convert that? lmk

i dumped an entire cup of coffee into my old laptop..sent it back to dell and got my money back

oooh. If it was water it might have been ok (so long as the power was off when it happend lol!)

Gatorade has electrolites in it that are natural conductors. My Chemistry teacher once wired a pickle (full of electrolytes) to an electrical socket... after smoking and smelling like an electricution it started glowing bright orange!

In conclusion,
electrolites + computer components = disaster

But i bet your warranty will cover it.

if it's dell, warranty won't cover this type of thing (not my own experience, i hate dell)...so if you call to get it fixed, say it just stopped working..if you play dumb, it works well.

Since a laptop HD is a compact design of an IDE device, the pins on them are in a tighter configuration than a regular desktop HD. TO use a laptop HD on a PC, you need a special cable that will allow the LT HD work on a PC. This is how it looks like.



Once you get this, your PC will recognize it. Just make sure that windows can read that file system. If your not sure what I'm talking about, Windows has two types of file systems called FAT32 and NTFS. FAT32 can be seen by win9X, win2k, WinMe, WinNT, and WinXP. NTFS can only be seen by win2k, WinNT, and WinXP. I'm not really sure about WinMe, but I would guess that it can. So if your PC is win9X and your laptop is ME/2k/NT/XP, you won't be able to read the laptop HD, provided that it is using NTFS. If the laptop HD is using FAT32, then your PC can read it.
