to quote myself:

QUOTE

I guess people will always have simple questions about hardware so let's post your one liner questions here.

Free for all - that means anyone, seniors and noobs alike can ask super stoopid question and not get whacked / flamed / scolded harrased / killed / whatever by any forumer - just in this thread)

Other oneliner and "I-refuse-to-google" threads will be deleted without mercy

To those who flame others for asking stoopid question will get their share of flames, no question asked

bukan short circuit or use screw driver

get a piece of wire and connect the green wire to the black one (any black will do)

You have to delete it first. Then create the partitions you want. Make sure you do not have any important data in that HDD before deleting.

if compatible, then it will be no problem. sumtimes, if u have good graphic card, but u dun have good processor, the performance also will drop.
