    hard drive cloning

    I kind of suspected that it was out of another PC (in your case, a laptop... so it's a 2.5" drive... you can get 2.5"-to-3.5" drive adapters and install it internally... your PC should boot up nicely... then set up the larger drive as a data disk... but that's another cat skinner...). Okay...

    computer woes

    Curious... are you running the line conditioner off utility or generator power? For most appliances (with electric motors) and devices with power supplies (TVs, PCs, printers, etc.) rated at 120v, it should not be a problem running them on 110v. It's when the utility company repeatedly drops...
