these two questions are totally unrelated.
1) should i do anything special before putting in a new laptop battery i just got? do i just power down the computer and pop it in? i presume my settings will stay the same? (it's actually a used battery i bought off ebay that i mentioned in another thread).
2) lately my computer asks to run check disk when i turn it on. it usually wants to check both the C & D drives. it doesn't happen every time, but most of the time. i've gotten to where i just cancel it. (i know that's probably bad to do but when i run it it still asks to run it the next time i turn the thing on). someone suggested to me that it could be a problem with my virus definitions? i'm only running the free 'avast' virus software. i'm also wondering if it's just a problem with the memory? i've got quite a few pictures that i havn't gotten to back up to cd yet. usually i'm pretty good about not keeping anything important on the computer, but with the wedding and moving going on i haven't had a chance to back everything up recently.
