Whoever you??™re calling
needs the same.
Intermediate Projects
Project 5, ???Turn Your PC into a Media Center,??? explains how to add a TV tuner to your
PC so that you can use the Windows Media Center program included with Windows
Vista Home Premium Edition and Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.
Project 6, ???Learn to Work with Your PC??™s BIOS,??? gets you started making changes
to the Basic Input/Output System that makes your PC tick. The project walks you
through booting your PC from the optical drive (as you??™ll need to do for some of the
other projects) and applying a BIOS password to protect your PC. The essentials you
learn in this project will enable you to make other BIOS changes when you need to.
Project 7, ???Replace Your Hard Disk??”or Add Another Hard Disk,??? covers the
ways in which you can increase the amount of hard disk space on your PC. If your
PC can contain only a single disk drive (as is the case with most laptops), you will
need to replace the drive and install the operating system. But if your PC can contain
multiple hard drives, you can simply add one or more extra drives to supplement
your existing drive.
Project 8, ???Set Up a Multimonitor Monster,??? shows you how to increase the
amount of screen real estate you have available for work or play. Almost any PC??”
laptop or desktop??”can run two monitors out of the box. But if you need even more
space to spread out your documents, read this project??™s advice for ways to connect the
maximum possible number of monitors.
