    Is there some sort of software I need for this harddrive locking mechanism for when you are moving or if you drop your laptop? I formatted and so I dont think I have this software if there is one.

    Also, how do I get that battery icon in the task bar again?

    Thanks
    None of these should bog down my system right?

    I think you'll be ok. You may have to adjust the sensativity for APS so your videos or music don't skip when you're moving your notebook around.

    I think my computer came with Diskeeper before I formatted. Is there anyway I can get that back?

    Not sure about Diskeeper, but if you enable Hibernate and use that to shut your system down, you'll be fine moving your system around, that's how I do it and I haven't had any difficulties at all.

    Sleep stops the spinning of your hard drive as well so you are fine. When I move class to class I use sleep mode. For extended periods of time I use hibernate.
