Q. Hello,
Windows Vista came with my laptop. I have the tag with the key on the back of the laptop. I have created the recovery discs. If my HDD will fail i will definetly loose my personal data (which i'm transferring on an external HDD), but will i lalso oose the operating system?
If i buy a new HDD, will i be able to install the operating system from the discs that i have created or those discs are just for failure of software and will not work on new HDD?

A. your recovery disks, is your operating system.
if you want to see something that put your laptop on steroids get an ssd its a hard drive made out of ram, they are expensive and small.
youtube ssd sometime. (battery will last much longer too) and it wont break due to shaking the laptop or anything like that no moving parts.
but since your getting a new drive anyhow, you can use your original hard drive and plug it into an external usb case.
and use the original drive as an external hard drive.
even if by some freak incident the recovery disks wont install windows, you can always plug it back in.

I want to get files of my old broken hard drive, anyone know a reliable cheap data recovery firm in the UK?
Q. Basically it stopped being recognised by my mac. I took it to my local computer shop which had a good look at it and said that the problem was between the caddy and the hard drive but that the hard drive itself was fine. I have kept the hard drive in dry place for about 2 year and now have money to try and recover the contents.

Why do my videos stall whenever I move the on the screen?
Q. I love using Firefox, but lately whenever I'm watching a video on Youtube or Netflix and I scroll down, or switch tabs or whatever then switch right back to the video, even if its just the slightest thing, the visual just stalls. The audios fine, but the video itself will just stop playing. Any ideas?
