Open WMP>right click on Music>click on manage Music library. Remove any duplicate folders and click ok.

my guess was the hard drive but you tried another one. it will be great if you can write down the error code you get and the diagnostic code you get under it

You won't be able to run games, and a lot of programs will not work in Ubuntu. While it's very in style to switch over, Linux isn't practical.

If you're running XP/Vista (doesn't work in 7), go to about:config, and add a new boolean called "config.trim_on_minimize" and set it to true. Restart Firefox, and now you should have the ability to slice down the RAM usage every time you minimize firefox.

well, if that is the hard drive that has your operating system, my first step would be to get another hard drive, install the operating system on it, change the boot priority of the new drive to be higher than the old one, and boot up and start copying files. if you need to, use recuva or partition table doctor or some other recovery software to start pulling the data off. once everything is ...
