You can't check the hardware on one mac through another. I'd say take it in to a store somewhere and see what they say.

First off, don't listen to anyting Tauron says. WD makes a good drive, you really can't go wrong with any of the consumer line-- Green, Blue, or Black. Personally I'd go for Green as it's quieter and a bit less power hungry than the other two, b…

Windows 7 runs just fine on a Mac, either in Boot Camp or under VMWare. There isn't an issue with the registry, Tauron's just a douchebag. Check his post history.

I don't really know what exactly you'd need to do to fix it (short of a clean install and trying again)... I can say that I have Windows 7 installed on Boot Camp and running through VMWare though.... They do play nice. Just make sure you install…

If you're really concerned about security, you can overwrite the entire drive with 0s and 1s. To do this, pop in your install disc and click the Utilities menu on the top menu bar. Open up Disk Utility. Click your hard drive, go to the Erase m…

Is the drive formatted FAT of NTFS? Either way, you'll be able to read the files form the drive. If it's FAT, a few harmless hidden files may be created (I wouldn't worry about them). If it's NTFS, the drive won't be altered at all. OSX ca…

Not really, Time Machine is designed to keep a track of your files over time... which means it takes up more space than a typical backup. Go grab Carbon Copy Cloner and just image your entire drive to your backup.

Not XP x64. If it were me, I'd grab Vista Ultimate x64.

I don't think it'll be possible unless the speakers can take a digital or optical signal.

Same deal here. :-/

SP3 works and works well... They didn't really add much in it. Just be sure to run software update before you install it. The latest Apple update involves SP3 and you should install it beforehand.

That's a bit illegal. It won't work anyway... Newer install discs check your hardware so you can only install it on the computer it came with. Just go hit up ebay or go to an apple store.

Are you talking about Office 2004 or 2007? 2004 wasn't Universal, it only contains PowerPC code. The Apple apps are all fat binaries, which would make them quite a bit larger.

Any 9.5 mm high 2.5" SATA hard disk should work as far as I know. Take a look at Newegg.

It's the system log daemon. Essentially it's a program that writes system info to a log file. It doesn't do it all the time so I'd say just be patient and wait for it to finish writing.

Set up a Finder window the way you like it, hit Command-J, set everyhting the way you like it, click Use as Defaults.

Did you backup the original installation before you did this?
