Good, you know a bit about normalisation.  But, not enough.  Look it up :)

Nope.

Computer table:
computer id
computer model
computer location

Drive table
computer id
drive id
drive model
drive size

Then use SQL to join the tables on computer id to get the appropriate info.

Probably something like select computer.model, computer.location, drive.size 
from computer, drive where drive.computerid = computer.computerid and 
computer.computerid = blah

Or something so.
