    New data from SquareTrade (one of the bigger warranty providers) says Asus and Toshiba have the least hardware malfunctions over 3 years, while one-in-four HP laptops are projected to experience problems. Oh, and crappy netbooks are worst of all.

    They say that sub-$400 netbooks are 20 percent more likely to fail in the first year. But no real surprises there.

    SquareTrade says it randomly selected over 30,000 laptops and netbooks covered by its warranty plans for the study. Brands with a minimum of 1000 laptops included Acer, Apple, Asus, Dell, Gateway, HP, Lenovo, Sony, and Toshiba. Accidental damage and software issues handled by the retailer were not included in the numbers.

    Summary below, while the full report can be found at: [SquareTrade]

    • Over 31 percent of laptops will fail in the first three years of ownership.
    •Of these failures, two-thirds came from hardware malfunctions (20.4 percent) and one-third (10.6 percent) was reported as accidental damage.
    • Asus and Toshiba were the most reliable manufacturers, with fewer than 16 percent having a hardware malfunction over three years.
    • Netbooks are projected to have a 20 percent higher failure rate from hardware malfunctions than more expensive laptop computers.
    • Manufacturers proved to be a more reliable determinant of reliability than the type of laptop and should be a greater factor in making a purchase decision.

    BIOS වලින් SATA Enable කරලා මැෂින් එක ඕන් කරාට වින්ඩෝස් ලෝඩ් වෙන්නෙ නැහැ. BIOS run වෙලා වින්ඩෝස් ලෝඩ්වෙන screen එකට ආපු ගමන් blue screen එකක් flash වෙලා මැෂින් එක ආයෙත් බූට් වෙනවා. BIOS වලින් SATA Disable කරපු ගමන් වින්ඩෝස් ලෝඩ්වෙනවා. Install කරලා තියෙන්නෙ 32බ්it වින්ඩෝස් version එක; මේකට විසදුමක් තියෙනවද?

    SATA support කරන්නෙ 64bit version විතරද?

    I had the same problem when installing XP in to a compaq
    but it when i disabled the SATA from the BIOS it worked fine
