It might be cool to mention that you want to turn it off and/or unplug it before starting (a lot of people will watch this and not know what they're doing...then wonder what the hell when it doesn't turn back on). It would be good to include a bit about how to boot it afterward and/or install an OS on it. Just sayin'. If someone already knows all that already - they wouldn't need to watch this video in the first place.

@busybuzzbuzz These advertisements PAY for Youtube! Without them, we'd be paying $10 a month to use it!

Don't be so spoiled. Ignore them or get Ad Block Plus, which is available for Firefox and Chrome.

I want to tranfer all my data onto another computer how would I do that? The computer that i want to transfer stuff out of has computer power jack broken so I cant charge it until i get it fixed but i want to back up everything so I dont lose anything. is there a way I can do this?

@AkumiShindo Hi Akumi yes it is fine for you to put the hard drive from your Toshiba LT in to your Acer LT depending that it is the same type of hard drive, most laptops thesedays take a SATA hard drive rather than an IDE driveso the answer is YES you will be able to transfer the hard drive from computer to another depending that both laptops run with a SATA drive. Hope this helps you. Peace.

@AkumiShindo You need to check if the hard drives are of the same brand e.g. SATA/IDE/PATA.

So quick question, if I use the hard drive in my toshiba & put it in my acer laptop will it be ok? I just want to be shure before I go messing around with stuff I don't know much about.

@bigcasey1995 Vevo is annoying the hell out of me.. someone needs to take them down a peg..

[bigcasey1995]

@PhenomenalHeadShot Well YouTube is so low on money so they try to get ads on lots of videos. They get lucky when they put it on music videos cause that's where all the money is.
