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.Answer to: Defragging Mac OS X hard drive Nov 7 @ 7:27 AM
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 wellAnswer to: How do you upgrade a OpenDirectory replica to an OD Master Nov 6 @ 5:08 PM

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.

try some new ram, or just try 1 stick in alternating slots.

I've accidentally done this a few times, unfortunately the best method is to remove the logic board and take the screws out. - minimizes risk of damaging the case and/or logic board.

I suggest taking it to Apple or a Apple Specialist to have it tested for the Nvidia graphics issue. Apple is providing coverage for these units, warranty or not.

it slides out - away from its "receptacle" - I suggest a nylon probe tool aka "black stick - to push it out by the metal points on the sides of the cable.

yes, a 17" macbook pro will accommodate these, a 15" or macbook will not, they can only take 9.5mm drives.

The backup battery keeps the time set on the computer when the computer is not on. does not affect power at all. could be lots of things, as simple as a bad power button.
