Thieves Unlocking car without key?
Further to previous thread about satnav being knicked, my mum seems pretty sure she didn't leave car unlocked.

Hard Disk Failure
Hi guys - I think the hard disk in my PC may have died. It won't boot to Windows but there is no message coming up on the screen or anything.

Wiring would be impractical/unsightly so wireless…
