If Windows is installed on the Maxtor, yes, you do have to change your boot sequence. Then, if Windows still won't boot, you have other problems. Like if Windows is corrupted, use any Linux Live CD / DVD (I use Linux Mint 10) to recover all your Personal files.
Then, use your Brand-name (DELL, HP, etc.) Windows Recovery DVDs (unless you never burned them) to return your PC to "Factory-New" condition, as explained in your PC's User Manual. TIP: No DVDs, and, your hard drive is toast? Order replacement Windows Recovery DVDs from your PC manufacturer, by Model Number, and, Windows version.
I recommend to clean up the register in order to improve your pc performances and get rid of malwares. A good program you can use is CCleaner http://j.mp/UrAC7G Give it a try. Hope it helps.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
