Can I make my original Xbox 360 hard drive a removable hard drive that I can use for my computer?

David Kell


I got the new slim Xbox 360 for christmas which means I never play the original one anymore. This may be a stupid question but I'm just wondering if anyone knows a way of turning the old hard drive into a Portable hard drive for my computer
Who ever is the first person to give me a REAL ANSWER i'll vote the best answer



Answer
I'm not sure if you can turn a old hard drive into a portable one for your computer, but there is another option. You can buy a Xbox 360 USB hard drive. This is pretty much your only option unless you are VERY tech savvy (s-a-v-v-y) and you can re- arrange the components so that you can use it as a computer hard drive. So yeah.
The Xbox 360 flash drive is available with 8GB memory for ~$30.
You can get the 16GB version for ~$55.
Check at amazon for price comparisons. Actually, let me just give you the link:

I hope this helped!

Can someone recommend a dell cpu model that is built in to handle 2 monitors?




sk8r_punk


I'd love a 24" to 20" monitors. And I want this cpu to be 500 gb hard drive and 4 or 6 gb memory. and if possible with a HD 7770 video card or HD6850. Thanks.


Answer
The misconception of the term CPU aside, a couple of pointers that hopefully will help you make the right decision:

1. Just about every laptop (portable computer) nowadays has a port to which you can attach an external monitor. So don't worry about any specific model numbers.

2. The specifications you mention sound pretty good and all round. So what you need to do is determine how much money you want to spend on a computer, and then buy one with these specifications, which price comes closest to your budget.

3. Stay away from Dell, Packard Bell and Fujitsu. These brands offer computers for very attractive prices, but the quality / price ratio is not good. Do yourself a favor, and go for a brand like Lenovo, HP, or Acer.
If you doubt this point, just take a look at yahoo answers, and see how many problems are related to Dell computers in comparison to the other three.

what determins how fast a computer can operate?

I am in the market for a new laptop. I was told the bigger the harddrive, the faster it will run. I found a Dell with a 500 gig hard drive at 54000 rpm and one with a 250 hard drive at 74000 rpm??? I only will use it to access the internet and store my music from iTunes. Any help is appreciated. Thanks


Answer
"the bigger the HD the faster it will run" is completely inaccurate.

The HD size (500Gb or 250Gb) is the amount of space on the HD to save files. 500Gb will mean you can store more songs.

The HD speed (54000rpm or 74000rpm) is the speed the HD spins - this equates to how fast files on the HD can be found and accessed.

The CPU info will tell you how fast individual tasks can be processed by the CPU (Central Processing Unit)

The RAM info will tell you how fast and how much RAM can be utilized during operation. A computer uses RAM to keep data that is currently in use in a location that can be read fast (faster than on the HD) and in any order.

As a general rule, if you want to "make your computer faster", increasing the RAM will see the most improvement.
------------
For a new laptop, look for:
- HD 500Gb, 74000rpm or higher
- CPU Intel Core2 Duo (2Ghz or more)
- RAM, atleast 2Gb (although it will probably come with less, make sure you can upgrade it to 2Gb or more)

Be wary of offers that seem too good to be true until you have looked at all the specs, regardless of what a salesperson says.

If you find one you like, write down the model number and look up reviews online - especially if you can find comparisons to other computers in the same price range.
------------
Other important things to consider when buying a laptop are:

- Dimensions and Weight (depends how portable you need it to be).
- Battery Life (you want 6hours at least! there is nothing portable about a 3hour battery).
- Screen Resolution (different to screen size), higher resolution will give you a better image.
- Built-in DVD-writer AND WIFI.
- Number of USB ports (how many do you need? probably 4).
- How loud are the built-in speakers? Very important if you are using it for music and yet hardly ever is this shown in the specs sheet. Go to a store and ask them to crank up the speakers for you on a few different models.

Can I put one of those digital copies that come with a DVD on a portable hard drive?

jaden smit


I have a netbook that I want to put some digital copies on but I dont have an external dvd drive to put the disc in. Is there anyway I can use my desktop to put the movie on a portable hard drive and then transfer it to my netbook? Or is the only way to do it with an external dvd drive?


Answer
Backup DVD or Copy DVD I always use this DVD Copy software. It copies personal home video in the original quality.
I download the software from:
http://dvd-video-converters.com/dvdconverter/1click-dvd-copy.html
Unbiased reviews and side-by-side comparisons of the DVD copy give you enough information to research the ins and outs of a particular product:

Is it safe to take a desktop computer on a plane as a carry-on item?




yahoo 360


I own an Alienware X51 and it is very small and portable (slightly taller than an Xbox 360 with similar width and length for comparison). Thus I can easily carry it in a medium sized backpack, however there are three things I am worried about:

A) Will I be prohibited from taking it on the plane by TSA? I know laptops are not an issue but would a desktop in the x-ray machine pose as threatening as it is somewhat uncommon?

B) Assuming the plane ride itself is relatively smooth, how easy is it to damage the components of the computer? I am planning on wrapping it in padding before placing it in the bag. I'm worried about small bumps and turbulence resulting in baggage colliding and my internal hard drive and other components being damaged.

C) If TSA says I must place the computer in the cargo hold, how prone is it to damage assuming I wrap it well and provide plenty of padding inside a suitcase?



Answer
Desktops are fine in carry on luggage assuming it's within your airline's carry on allowance. At the TSA checkpoint, you will be required to place it in a separate bin for x-ray (like a laptop) where it will be x-rayed and cleared to go.

Since you will be the only one handling your computer, how safe it travels is up to you. Don't even think about checking it in if you want it back in one piece.
