I have turned on my Desktop computer two days back. I was deeply frustrated on what it did to me. I was hoping to finish up an important assignment but it said that no bootable device is found.

I consulted a local technician over the phone. He said that it could be a hardware problem, that the hard disk would have been dead. So I need to replace it. And one of my friends said something about, the boot priority, but I was not able to understand that.
 
So that’s the reason I am here, looking forward for your greatest help....

Hi,

I am using windows XP with Fedora 14 on my computer. When i upgraded from fedora14 to Fedora15 (Lovelock – Released Yesterday) everything installed perfectly.

I am working as an assistant Engineer, system support department in a company.

Sometimes, I guess that someone’s accessing my desktop remotely via third-party software.  It seems to me that the person is my boss. But I want to monitor or see the date and time, when he accesses my desktop? I also want an alert when he enters my desktop?

Is there any software that can give me a log file, of anyone gaining access my desktop remotely? And give me an alert, when someone is attempting to access my desktop? Or some tips that help...

I installed R/C last night, when it finished installing from 32 bit Vista to Windows 7, the final rest loads and from that point I cannot use either my mouse or my keyboard.

I have tried resolving this problem by plugging them into every USB slot and at times I have tried restarting the computer but this has not solved the problem. I also tried the option of reinstalling Windows 7 afresh, but the problem has persisted. At first I thought I did not install Windows properly but after installation of the OS again the problem persisted.

Hi all,

I was out of city on my business trip, for over more than a month.  I just came back yesterday and I tried to insert a DVD onto my computer's Optical Disk Drive. They looked so weird.  Since I was not able to find the Drive letter on My Computer Window, I searched for it in the explorer bar.

It was not there, then I consulted one of my friend where he was too not aware of the problem. So really  looking out for someone to guide me, to solve the problem.   Would like to add a note...
