Sounds like the Master Boot Record might be an issue. Do you have access to fdisk? From a command prompt, type "fdisk /mbr" to reset the master boot record.

Right now I'm looking at these: Sony Vaio VGN-NS235J/W Sager NP2095 Acer Extensa EX5630 TOSHIBA Satellite L305-S5933 I'm leaning toward the Toshiba for price, HD size & included RAM.

A friend has asked for my help in purchasing a new laptop. Her budget is $600 or less. She doesn't do any gaming, but would like something fast enough and with enough storage space for music/movies. I was looking at the Sager...

Primarily used for web browsing, email, music and video. No gaming whatsoever. Needs to have: wireless, decent sound and video, 200-300gb disk. Any recommendations?

I need to replace the AC Adapter on my 3790. Is it generally safe to go with an aftermarket adapter as long as the ratings are the same? The adapter that came with the 3790 is a Li SHin International Enterprises Model #LSE9901A2070...

Seems that it doesn't check email headers to determine if mail has been read or not. I always leave email on the server for 7 days (using Eudora, not Outlook/OE) and the email LED flashes even if there's only old mail on the server....

Ever since I've had my 3790, I've been plagued by sporadic network disconnects when using the ethernet port. The same cable stays connected just fine when using a PCMCIA NIC, or when connected to different computers on my network....

It's like Christmas getting a new 3790, ain't it?

I can back up what Roarak says - the fans hardly come on at all during casual use. Roarak - did you play EQ on Xegony? Big ugly Troll?

Check out Sager's site for the most recent drivers, but you should have CD's with all the drivers you need. There's a specific order of installation that they recommend, but I think that only applies if you didn't have an OS installed...
