hardware problem

Post by Anonymous »

i installed a digital usb camera drivers and after a while when i connected the camera to the computer it would show that the drivers are incorrectly installed. i've tried reinstalling to no avail. do you have any suggestion on any other methods i can try?

i also want to reinstall a laptop to have both linux and windows but i do not have the driver-cd for the laptop. is there any way i can partition my hard drive (it already has windows but with drive c only) without losing the information i already have?

waiting to hear from you....

Have you tried connecting the camera before installing the drivers? Depending on the camera, yoy may not need to install drivers at all. You may be able to use a defualt driver that comes with windows to get the job done.

And for partitioning, if you want to re-partition without losing you data, you need a non-destructive partitioning program. I haven't really seen any free ones unfortunately, though there probably are a few out there. However, if you are willing to put up the cash for it, I recommend Partition Magic. I know some people have issues with SymantecNorton, but please note the Powerquest [the makers of Partition Magic] just recently got bought out by Symantec.
