Pavilion 7951 Information

Open Question: What is the fundamental difference between a laptop and a netbook?

From what I understand the only difference is the amount of memory you get with a standard netbook is much less than that of a laptop. If that's the case couldn't you just add more memory to the netbook by replacing your hard-drive or adding more RAM? I also understand that a netbook is inferior to a laptop when it comes to watching videos or gaming. I mainly use my computer to browse the web, check email and write. Do netbooks come with office software? I apologize ahead of time I'm not that computer savy. Thanks.

Open Question: Can you help me pick a laptop?

I want to start thinking about my next laptop. I have a Dell XPS M1535 and I really don't love it. I'm not a gamer, but I have many memory-intensive apps open at the same time. If the system would allow it I would have Adobe PS, Illustrator, Flash and Dreamweaver all open along with Firefox, which has terrible memory leaks if you use any plugins. Between all this I need a decent processor and a lot of memory. Macs would be great in theory but are out of the question because of the lack of software. The i5, i7 processors look appealing but they are so new, I don't know if they run hot and/or have other drawbacks, and I'm tempted to wait for the next generation of i7s. Given this usage pattern would you say I should look for a gaming computer? I don't seem to fall in the normal classes (business user, gamer), so often not sure what to look for. There's a new Sony VAIO with an i7 processor that looks kind of appealing. Well, any lines or model suggestions appreciated. Last few times I just bought a laptop without much thought, and this time I want to do better.

Open Question: When trying to recover my toshiba equium with disc I get an error? HELP!?

I've had my laptop roughly about two years now, it's a Toshiba Equium L40-17M series. I got it with a recovery disc and have used the disk successfully in the past to recover my laptop to it's factory settings perfectly. I noticed that my Vista drive was getting full and after many attempts to solve this I eventually decided to just recover it and start again. So I took all the files I wanted and stored them on several memory devices. I then deleted what I didn't want and emptied the files from the recycle bin and followed the instructions given on the disc cover telling me to ; Insert the first disc into the drive and shut down the computer. Turn on your computer while keeping the F12 key pressed. Use the cursor keys to select the optical disc drive in the menu. Follow instructions which are appearing on the screen. I did all these things and clicked the OK button warning me that "My hard disk will be completely erased. Do you really want to continue". It then whizzes through some technical stuff that I would never understand and shows me two errors reading "Error: Could not open WIM file F:\05903XSP.swm! ERROR: RecoWMAInfo.exe did not run properly!" I just wanna know whats going on Help please :D !?
