Does anyone know where I can get instructions for removing a hard drive from an Acer Travelmate 4150? There's not an obvious panel on the base, and I've not been able to find anything on Google. My guess is that it's accessed somewhere under the keyboard, but I'd rather not poke around and do...

turn on Vista USB power by Phlip
Newsgroupies: I want to recharge a cell phone on a USB cable, but the battery is flat. With the Linux drivers, the USB power would be hot, and the phone would just start juicing. How do I convince Vista to turn on the power - to _see_ if something is on its USB wire??
