Hi everyone, urgently need some experts advices here.

Fyi, yesterday when i was using the pc as usual, suddenly a "tuck tuck" weird sound came out from my external hdd. after this, all the three partition in that external hdd cannot be read. i trying to restart pc, change cable, change usb port, but yet the mentioned external hdd still cannot be read.

therefore, am trying to connect this hdd to my fren's laptop. this round, i managed to see the partition appear on the screen, but again, it totally slow down the laptop performance, and i can't open any of the file. and the pop out will require me to format the disk which i reli dun wanna be so as my files be deleted this way.

it's not a matter to change a new hdd or whatsoever, i just want to retrieve my data from missing. but under current condition, i can't even open the file itself. so how?

constructive advices are much appreciated. thanks.

p/s: i bought this imation external hdd 1 year ago, i dun think the life span be as short tho.

Is Streamyx Combo RM60 still available?

I have recently move to a new house. The house has no telephone line.

I would like to apply for Streamyx Combo, the agent told me, however, I got to have a fixed telephone homeline before I can proceed with any internet subscription. My query is since Streamyx Combo RM60 is a package which includes everything which means I no need to pay any extra charges for fixed telephone line, but since I got to own a fixed telephone line before application and thus TM will charge me monthly telephone bill thereafter? What does this indicate?

HP Netbook

jactval — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 11:06:15 +0800

Any recommended HP retail outlet within Klang Valley?

These are the two outlets that I get from internet.

1. Mobility S/B, Low Yat Plaza.

2. HP Store, BB Park.

But for the Mobility S/B, Low Yat Plaza, surprisingly I get to know some extremely bad feedback about it.

---> http://www.paulooi.com/2006/10/08/%E6%88%9...9C%A8%E5%93%AA/

But this case was happened during Year 2006. I wonder right now (Year 2009), will they still have that kind of bad attitude? As consumer, we wish to get a good service for sure. But have really no idea on how this shop operating currently in terms of services and warranty guarantee policy?

For the HP Store, BB Park, not sure about its services.

Any opinions or first hand experiences regarding the two shops above?

Purchase HP laptop from authorized dealer better or at any other shop?

How to download a video from internet eventhough there's no download button appear on the webpage itself? I saw some people managed to download the video (abit seems like download from the back-door method )... If not mistaken, we gotta get the source file of the web first, isn't it? Anyone may experience before? Step-by step teaching needed here. Much appreciate

Chartered Accountant&Certified Accountant

jactval — Sat, 01 Mar 2008 00:06:53 +0800

There are so many types of accountant in the world, eg. Chartered Accountant, Certified Accountant, Public Accountant and so on. After google-ing, I get the explainations as below:

1. Chartered Accountant:
-are usually sponsored by companies that employ them. They cover all types of finance work-about half work in accountancy practice, the other half in business and commerce, financial services and banking, and the public sector.

2. Certified Accountant:
-also cover all types of finance work and work in all types of organization. Unlike Chartered Accountant, they are likely to be studying independently.

Anyone may narrow down the definitions and differentiate between Chartered Accountant and Certified Accountant? Make it more easier to be understand.
