  • Answer to: Replacement keyboard - Function Keys are in the wrong place 11 hours ago

    I would at least try running an installation of snow leopard, it should recognize the keyboard attached and set everything correctly - should be the least work of all.

  • Answer to: How do I transfer dual partitions to a new hard drive? Nov 8 @ 7:10 AM

    Unfortunately there is not a way to just copy the whole drive, with different partitions to a new drive. I recommend using carbon copy cloner to clone your Macintosh partition, once thats completed. on the new hard drive you will have to run the bootcamp assistant to repartition the hard drive for windows. from there, I usually use a program called winclone, it will allow you to copy your windows partition into a disk image, and then restore the disk image to your new partition.

  • Answer to: Problems cloning a hard drive with both disk utility and superduper Nov 7 @ 9:33 AM

    Its called a Prohibitory sign, http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1892 if the Partition scheme is not GUID or Apple Partition Map - its a good chance that not all the files actually copied over. I would recommend erasing the external drive, make sure its GUID, and the partition itself is OS Extended Journaled.

    I ran into the same situation before myself - Bootcamp needs enough contiguous free space in order to partition the drive - I used idefrag, it worked well

  • Answer to: Tips on replacing a 60W lightbulb? Nov 5 @ 10:13 AM

    Because compact fluorescent bulbs use less electricity, the wattage ratings are different. a 60w replacement usually are 11-15 Watts! The cool thing is that because of the difference, you can get say a 100 Watt CF Bulb and it will only use 24 Watts - but provide more light than a standard 60! You shouldn't use compact fluorescent bulbs with dimmer switches, unless the bulb is specifically marketed as compatible. Also, beware of the old lamps where the shade actually rested on the bulb.. Most will actually list actual wattage and what it replaces. Assuming you are in the US, a 13W bulb replaces a 60W standard bulb.
