portable hard drives online image
ms P
I bought a verbatim usb Portable Hard Drive to store information on from my old pc with windows XP to my new pc with windows 7. I can not get the usb hard drive to show up on either pc. It shows a blue light on but otherwise it won't do anything.
Answer
a few possibilities:
A) it only has a usb cord, and it needs more power. Try a usb port on the back of the computer.
B) it has been corrupted. It will need formating. Here is a howto http://www.online-tech-tips.com/computer-tips/format-usb-ntfs/
C) it's dead.

How do I connect my Netbook to the internet?

I just received a Samsung Netbook as a gift and need to know how to get online. I'm new at this and I'm not looking to spend a mint on gadgets, so something cost effective and easy would appreciated!!
If you have tips on what portable hard drives are good and inexpensive, add that also. I want to transfer some games from my desktop to my Netbook.
Answer
Your netbook comes equipped with a wireless network card. This allows it to connect to wireless internet signals that are sent out by wireless routers. These routers exist in many public places (such as coffee shops and librarys, and are advertised as "wifi" or "wifi hotspots"). You want to click on the wireless network option (in the bottom right of your screen, near the clock) and find a network name listed, then click on it to connect to the internet.
You can also buy a wireless router and plug it into your home internet connection, which allows you to connect to the internet wirelessly anywhere inside your house.
If any of this is confusing, take your netbook to a Best Buy or somewhere similar. They should be very able to help you figure out how to use the internet, as well as sell you a wireless router.
Oh, and if you want to transfer games from your desktop to netbook, I recommend that you get a USB flash drive rather than a portable hard drive. Flash drives are a lot cheaper and a lot smaller. You can get that holds 8 gig (which is probably all you'll need to transfer any game out there) from Amazon.com for about 15 dollars (http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Cruzer-Micro-Flash-SDCZ6-8192-A11/dp/B000UZN2ZK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1262186412&sr=8-1)
