Once a week we round up some of the questions that come pouring into the Ask HTG mailbox and share the solutions with the rest of you. This week we’re looking at installing a second optical disc drive, awesome iPad RSS applications, and how to thoroughly remove apps in Windows.

Dear How-To Geek,
亲爱的How-To Geek,
I’ve been looking at refurbished computers to replace our 5+ year old Dell. I need one, however, that offers dual cd/dvd drives as my husband burns a lot of compilation cds and is not comfortable using disk image (as I would do). All of the ones I’ve found, that are in my price range, only have one cd/dvd drive! How difficult is it to install a second cd/dvd drive? Bonus question: what should I look for in a computer that will be used pretty much solely for playing music and burning cds?
我一直在寻找翻新的计算机来替代我们拥有5年以上历史的Dell。 但是,我需要一个能提供双CD / DVD驱动器的设备,因为我丈夫刻录了大量的编译CD,并且不习惯使用磁盘映像(就像我会做的那样)。 我发现的所有价格都在我的价格范围内,只有一个CD / DVD驱动器! 安装第二个cd / dvd驱动器有多困难? 额外的问题:在几乎完全用于播放音乐和刻录CD的计算机上,我应该寻找什么?
Sincerely,
真诚的

Dear Burning,
亲爱的燃烧,
It isn’t that having dual drives is particularly expensive, it’s that manufacturers see little reason to include two drives when many people hardly use their primary drive. Installing a secondary optical drive, especially in a modern operating system like Windows 7, is criminally easy. If you’re comfortable using a screw driver and are reasonably steady of hand (i.e. you won’t drop tools inside your computer case or otherwise cause mayhem while you’re inside the computer) it’s only marginally harder than changing a light bulb. Check out our guide to installing a new hard drive for guidance—the two sections you want to pay attention to are the section about physically installing the drive (you install a new optical drive the same way you install a new hard drive, the only difference is you install it in a bay with an open front so you can access the optical drive) and the section focused on the BIOS (you’ll want to double check the BIOS to make sure your computer recognizes the drive). Once you’ve physically installed it and you can see it in the BIOS, Windows will automatically detect it.
并不是说双驱动器特别昂贵,而是当许多人几乎不使用他们的主驱动器时,制造商几乎没有理由包括两个驱动器。 尤其在现代操作系统(例如Windows 7)中安装辅助光盘驱动器非常容易。 如果您习惯使用螺丝刀并且手感相当稳定(例如,您不会将工具掉入计算机机箱中,否则会在进入计算机内部时造成混乱),这仅比更换灯泡难一些。 请查看我们的安装新硬盘的指南以获取指导 ,您需要注意的两个部分是有关物理安装驱动器的部分(安装新光盘驱动器的方式与安装新硬盘驱动器的方式相同,唯一的区别是您是否将其安装在具有开放式正面的托架中,以便可以访问光盘驱动器)以及将重点放在BIOS上的部分(您需要仔细检查BIOS以确保您的计算机可以识别驱动器)。 物理安装后,您可以在BIOS中看到它,Windows会自动检测到它。
As for what kind of computer you need to play music and burn CDs: these tasks are really light on processor/memory consumption. If the majority of use the computer will see is playing back MP3s, burning CDs, and occasional web browsing, you can get buy with a bargain model from any reputable manufacturer or even build your own (we’ve got a guide for that too!)
至于您需要哪种类型的计算机来播放音乐和刻录CD:这些任务实际上对处理器/内存的消耗没有影响。 如果计算机能看到的大多数用途是播放MP3,刻录CD以及偶尔进行网络浏览,那么您可以通过讨价还价的模型购买信誉良好的制造商的产品,甚至可以自己打造( 我们也有相应的指南 ! )
哪个iPad RSS应用程序可以帮我敲门? (Which iPad RSS App Will Knock My Socks Off? )
Dear How-To Geek,
亲爱的How-To Geek,
I’ve been a long time RSS user on the desktop and I recently, through a work contest, won an iPad. The iPad seems like a perfect fit for casual RSS reading… but I’m not sure where to start. I’d really like to use an app that shows off the touch screen interface of the iPad and makes it easy and fun to read my feeds. What would you suggest?
我一直是台式机上的RSS用户,并且最近我通过一次工作竞赛赢得了iPad。 iPad似乎非常适合休闲RSS阅读……但是我不确定从哪里开始。 我真的很想使用一个显示iPad触摸屏界面的应用程序,使阅读提要变得轻松而有趣。 你有什么建议?
Sincerely,
真诚的

Dear Paddin’,
亲爱的帕丁,
When it comes to RSS apps for the iPad, you have a wide range of choices. Since you’re looking for a wow-factor, the first app you should grab is Flipboard. If you want to read the news like you’re reading a futuristic digital magazine that flows smoothly, updates to fit your news needs, and otherwise makes you feel like you’re chilling on the deck of a starship, Flipboard is it. It’s absolutely gorgeous and absolutely free so there’s no reason to not grab a copy and take it for a spin. We have Flipboard on our iPad for laid back reading-for-pleasure.
对于iPad的RSS应用程序,您可以有多种选择。 由于您正在寻找哇的因素,因此您应该抓到的第一个应用是Flipboard 。 如果您想阅读新闻,就像阅读一本未来主义的数字杂志一样,它可以顺畅地流动,进行更新以满足您的新闻需求,或者使您感到自己像是在飞船的甲板上不寒而栗,那就是Flipboard。 它绝对华丽且绝对免费,因此没有理由不抢副本并随意旋转。 iPad上装有Flipboard,可让您轻松阅读。
When it comes to powering through a lot of RSS feeds (which is part and parcel for the tech work we do here at HTG) there are less stunningly beautiful but more workhorse-like alternatives. If you’re not just fanning through some design blogs at your leisure but using your RSS feeds to stay on top of work-related news, you may want to check out some of the other great readers for the iPad. Perfect Reader syncs with Google Reader and connects to Instapaper, ReadItLater, Delicious, Evernote, Twitter, Facebook and more. Runs $1.99 but you can download a lite version to take it for a spin free of charge. Reeder is another fantastic iPad RSS tool. It’ll set you back $4.99 but it’s a really polished reader that works as a great front end for Google Reader—honestly it’s everything the Google Reader mobile interface should be.
当涉及到通过大量RSS提要(这是我们在HTG进行的技术工作的组成部分)时,很少有令人惊叹的精美外观,但更像是像马匹一样的替代品。 如果您不只是闲暇时浏览一些设计博客,而是使用RSS源来关注与工作有关的新闻,那么您可能想看看iPad上的其他一些优秀读者。 Perfect Reader与Google Reader同步并连接到Instapaper,ReadItLater,Delicious,Evernote,Twitter,Facebook等。 售价$ 1.99美元,但您可以免费下载Lite版本以免费试用。 Reeder是另一个出色的iPad RSS工具。 它的价格为$ 4.99美元,但它是一款非常精美的阅读器,可作为Google Reader的出色前端-诚实地,这就是Google Reader移动界面应有的一切。
如何彻底卸载应用程序? (How Can I Thoroughly Uninstall Applications? )

Dear How-To Geek,
亲爱的How-To Geek,
How can I thoroughly uninstall computer apps when I no longer need them? It seems like after I use the built-in Windows uninstaller there are always little bits and pieces left behind. What gives? Is there a better alternative?
当我不再需要计算机应用程序时,该如何彻底卸载它们? 似乎在使用内置的Windows卸载程序后,总会留下一些零碎的东西。 是什么赋予了? 有更好的选择吗?
Sincerely,
真诚的

Dear Cleaning Shop,
亲爱的清洁店,
Windows is notorious for leaving digital debris behind when removing applications. Sometimes it’s useful—like if you uninstall a game or web browser, often times things like your save points and browser settings are left behind in case you reinstall the application and want to pick up where you left off—other times it just creates clutter and instability. We’ve been long time fans of Revo Uninstaller—you can check out our guide to using it here—but you may also want to check out a recent showdown between Revo Uninstaller and IObit Uninstaller—you can read about that here. Either one will do a vastly superior job and give you finer control over what is removed when you nuke an application.
Windows众所周知在删除应用程序时会留下数字碎片。 有时它很有用(例如,如果您卸载游戏或网络浏览器,则通常会遗留保存点和浏览器设置之类的信息,以防您重新安装该应用程序并希望从上次退出的地方继续使用);有时它会造成混乱并不稳定。 我们一直是Revo Uninstaller的忠实拥护者-您可以在此处查看使用它的指南 -但您可能还希望查看Revo Uninstaller和IObit Uninstaller之间的最近对决- 您可以在此处阅读有关内容 。 任一种都可以做得非常出色,并且可以让您更好地控制在核对应用程序时删除的内容。
