Computer Installation
Computer installation is the fundamental step, which flutes life to your dead hardware component. Computer installation may be studied under two categories, the former is the hardware installation and the later as software installation.
Let's get acquainted with the hardware installation under this article. This will be helpful for making self installation. After going through this article you will be able to perform installation of hard drive along with making partition.
You must consider some basic rule. If you are going to install two hard drives or IDE devices over the same IDE Channel (controller), you need to configure the jumper. They should be set as Master and Slave so that they are able to perform with the same IDE cable. On an average there are two IDE Channels (Primary and Secondary) on one motherboard for a total of four IDE devices allowed per system. Let's assume, if there is one HD and a CD-ROM integrated then you can assemble two more hard drives. You can also do installation of extra hard drive and IDE backup devices.
Steps for initiating computer installation
STEP 1. Turn off the power and remove all cables from the back of the computer.
STEP 2. Gently remove the case screws and remove the case cover.
STEP 3. Secure the Hard Drive into the mounting bay using appropriated screw.
STEP 4. Analyze the configuration of the computer for the presence of any extra IDE port on your current IDE cable(s). If there is one IDE cable, which is already engaged with two IDE devices then you need to incorporate extra IDE cable in order to facilitate the entry of additional hard drive.
STEP 5. Plug in the new or spare IDE port to the new hard drive.
Note: Always insert Red pin closest to the 4-pin Power.
STEP 6. Insert the P4 Power cable into the new hard drive.
STEP 7. Without making mistake put the case cover back onto the case and secure it with the case screws that were previously removed.
STEP 8. Plug all required cables into the computer and then power up the system.
STEP 9. Explore Computer CMOS and use the Auto IDE Detection feature and then save the changes and exit. This will reboot your computer.
STEP 10. Hence, the hard drive is mounted and connected.
Creating partition is another important step towards computer installation.
STEP 1. After getting the hard disk recognized under BIOS, you will need a Bootable Diskette which must contain Files: Fdisk.exe and Format.com. The diskette you use should be a bootable diskette.
STEP 2. Place the bootable diskette into the 1.44MB floppy drive and turn on the computer.
STEP 3.. Wait for the "A:>" prompt, type DIR and it should show three files, Fdisk.exe, Format.com and Command.com.
STEP 4. Now, a Partition is needed so that DOS and Windows will see the new hard drive. At A:> type Fdisk then press enter.
STEP 5. At the Fdisk Menu, create a new partition and select #1 and press Enter.
STEP 6. Then Select #1 for Primary DOS partition and press Enter. Similarly user can increase number of partition.
STEP 7. Fdisk will ask for the size of the partition various sizes of partitions to a hard drive.
STEP 8. Fdisk will ask the End-user to give desired name, if a name is not desired the press Enter when prompted. Reboot the system.
Above computer installation steps would save your valuable time and money.

AC Installation in Horizontal Window?
I have a sliding horizontal window and I want to install an AC. I was thinking of putting in a normal window AC without the accordion panels, so that I can close the window tight against the ac. I will need to put plywood above the ac to fill the space. Does anyone have any suggestions? Can you put an ac in without the accordion panels? Before you suggest I get a casement ac, it would still require plywood above the ac due to the window size. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
***Also I'm trying to decide on the following 5,000 BTU AC models: LG, Frigidaire, and Sunbeam. Has anyone had good (or bad) luck with these?

Is is hard for an American family, and their pets, to move to Australia? We are in America.?
We've been thinking about moving, first we thought about the southern states, but recently we decide we wanted to move to Australia. There are my parents and five children. Two, soon to be three, of my sister are over eighteen, will my sisters be adults in Australia? I don't know if eighteen is the legal "Adult" age over there as well. And then we have our six cats, three dogs, one guinea pig and a rabbit. Is it possible to move all of them to Australia with us? And if it is, will they be held in quarantine? And for how long?
Also I've heard that you have to have a profession that is in need, dose that apply to all adults? Because my sisters are students and don't have training in really anything. My moms a stay at home mom and hasn?t worked in the last twenty years. My Dads profession is knife making, but right now he drives a truck. He can also do a lot of other things including Electrical wiring, furnace/AC installation, the operation and maintenance of farm and domestic equipment.
We've decided to move to somewhere either by Sydney or Perth. It really just depends on where we'll be able to find work.

Drywall Screws popping out?
Hi.
I've owned my house for 1 year and in the last 4-5 month I noticed sheetrock screws showing under the wall paint all over the house. Most of them on top, right below the ceiling, but some in the center of the walls. The only major project that had in the house after moving in was new central AC installation. Is it possible that thats what caused it, Could it be the weight of the unit installed above the ceiling putting pressure on the walls? If not, could it be the foundation settling? I only noticed this on the upper level, lower level has is not fully dry-walled, but I saw no screws popping yet.
I have no problem fixing this, just want to find an underlying reason.
Thank you in advance for suggestions
