Can dimension 3000, I start the CD RW?

I have 2 optical, cd/dvd drives and cd-rw but dvd player is broken, will not open. Can I use the cd RW? BIOS lists only the floppy, DVD and HDD. I tried tapping f12 when restarting with dell os disk into the cd rw drive, but she starts just xp hard drive.

It's the old pc I want to format, reinstall xp and puppy linux.

I've never done something like this before.  I hope that someohe can help!

You seem to have done the settings are correct, but the player does not seem to read your boot drive.  To try again, set the second master back to enabled, set the secondary slave off and physically move the connector at the end of the Ribbon to the broken car to the player who works.  Sometimes they have a failed drive on the IDE data cable prevents a good drive to work, so the only thing to do is to remove the bad drive.

Your problem may also have something to do with the disc you are trying to use.  Some CD/DVD players have trouble switching between the two formats when used to start the computer.  Also, remember that if the CD player is only he will not see anything on a DVD.  Windows XP Setup floppies are almost always a CD, but I seem to remember that the Media Center disc was a DVD.

I've never owned a Dimension 3000, but the Dimension 2400, which is roughly the same age could certainly start from a provided USB memory stick had the correct startup information.

EDIT: Went back and just reread your post and I see that I have mistakenly believed you had turned off the second master.  The primary master is your hard drive, that won't turn off!

  • The location of the project can be configured before starting the installation of Capture?

    We seek to automate the part of our SW capture environment.

    By default, project folder is created in the subfolder of catches in the directory where starts the Setup program Capture

    And we know that the project to the project file can be (re) defined in the configuration Capture program.

    But we want to set the front location with for example an environment variable or a parameter in the configuration Capture application.

    Is this possible?

    We tried to solve the PROJECT_PATH environment variable, but that doesn't seem to work.

    Hi, I also tried to save the project to another location - the only way I found to do this was to abandon the GUI and use the command line:

    Snapshot.exe c:\Start.snapshot

    Snapshot.exe c:\End.snapshot

    Snapshot.exe c:\Start.snapshot - SuggestProject c:\End.snapshot c:\Template.ini

    Snapshot.exe c:\Template.ini GenerateProject - c:\MyProjectDirectory

    These are detailed in the last pages of the manual (4.0.3) ThinApp 97-98.

  • 3000 N200 starts the first time, but he will start for the third time!

    Hello

    My old N200 of 2 years has recently decided not to initialize the first time. Usually it starts the third time lucky this changes in the cold outdoors when it may take 7 or 8 will but or does not start later.  I think it started after that I left the machine running on battery power a day forgotten and the next day it took a few goes to start after plugging it load up.

    When it wont start the fan lights just like the Windows screen comes on and after a few seconds, it dies as if I had pressed and held down the power button as you would to turn off if the system was no answer, and he makes the same noise. When it finally starts the fan is silent!

    This one worked!

    Thank you very much

    I don't know that I have never done this? Certainly not intentionally. Well, I seem to have solved the problem by resetting the CMOS as described elsewhere in the forum. Machine boots first time every time now, so he must have had something to do with it. Or I also during the same operation was released and returned to the my 2 GB memory add on and I think that may be related to poor startup performance if it is not inserted correctly.

    What a relief and after being where I bought they had no idea and wanted to send it away etc etc and I pay £11 a month for such a service, I had a lot more less than an hour on this forum

    Thanks for the reply

  • Dimension 3000 starts then dies

    Hi, I have a Dell Dimension 3000 that starts and runs for about three seconds, then dies.  At this point, you will need to cut the power, plug before you will get no response from the PC. I swapped the power supply and disconnected all drives, network card and memory.

    The four diagnostic lights turns on, a couple changes color, then turns off when the power dies.

    I think that it's probably the motherboard or something on the motherboard. is it possible to narrow the problem, so I can buy the right replacement the first half?

    Here is a short film of the lights during the power upward.

    cs_setInnerHtml ('video_2df752e2-1249-459-b42a-9fdd6ada68a3', ");

    DonC98

    Concerning:

    "is it possible to narrow the problem, so I can buy the right replacement the first half?

    Which is not always possible, unfortunately, while a person may make an informed diagnosis, sometimes, due to the complexity of the components, computer troubleshooting is diagnosis by substitution.

    The power button LED, green, solid orange, green, orange, flashing flashing or off?

    If you're comfortable working around computers, you can try the following:

    Note: The only 100% POWER supply test method, is to install a known working power.

    Unplug the power cord, hold the power button in for about 15-20 seconds, open the case, disconnect the power connector 20 pins on the motherboard and jumping the Green wire to one of the black wires, plug in the power cord and the power of the system, if the PSU, case fans and disk hard drive performance then the power supply can be good.

    Note: Do not remove the wires from the plug, use a small piece of wire or a paper clip as a rider.

    Extract supply and the system still does not work, yet once remove the power cord, hold button power in a few seconds to discharge residual power, reconnect the connector 20 pins on the motherboard.

    Remove any PCI video card [as appropriate], memory cards, all the devices, unplug data cables and power to all readers, check that the cable from the front panel is connected to the motherboard, without anything else connected to the system, reconnect the power cable and power the system on.

    If there is no difference in the diagnostic lights, a "Beep" codes and/or the indication of the LED on the power button, it would seem that the motherboard is dead or maybe the processor.

    Note: The good news is, processors lack rarely, being the only method I know to check a processor, install a compatible work PC, or use a known job processing.

  • DVD burner (Pioneer) upgrade Dimension 3000 causing problem ~ can anyone help?

    Ok

    I have a Dimension 3000.

    The two discs were going on me, so I bought two new.

    I installed the two made sure the riders were that they were supposed to be

    the dvd drive installed fine. The problem is that I installed the burner.

    It's a Pioneer DVR - 115D installed as secondary

    The pc shows, but the green light on the front of the burner continues to blink as if it were held (two times then pause) continuously.

    The tray has a mind of its own, whenever I restart my pc it opens.

    I called pioneer & the guy said that my motherboard BIOS needs to be updated, if that's what I did, updated AO1 to AO3 I think it was then I get this blue screen that says «machine check exception»

    Green led blinks always & it won't play anything. It shows that it is installed.

    I update my firmware too for this burner of 1.13 to 1.18.

    So I do not know where to go from here. If someone could help that would be great.

    Thank you ~.


  • Can rebuild a VD (RAID 5), I start the course?

    A simple question:

    I am rebuilding a raid 5 on a PERC6/i. everything seems fine, my question is can I reboot and start the server without interrupting the reconstruction? I started the process of rebuilding by the card bios menu (so at startup) and I wonder if the card will continue to do its job if I exit out of it and starts the operating system on the server?

    Thanks for any response.

    -Colter

    * edit * the operating system is loaded on a USB key or by the way, I thought that relevant. The raid array is used as a data store on an ESXI installation, so it will be started once, but not for the start itself.

    Yes, the reconstruction will come just where she had stopped after the reconstruction, and the table will remain online (but with degraded performance) until full.

  • Replacement of a card mother Dell Dimension 3000 with a Dimension 4600 motherboard

    Recently I replaced my processor in my Dell Dimension 3000, however, at the start he always tells me that the processer is not supported by the Bios, so I still have to press F1 to start upward. I heard you can counter this is replacing the Board with a Board of a Dimension 4600 however, I know not what condition the Board of Directors must be in. Can I replace it with a Board of direct administration of a Dimension 4600 or what I need to get a referbished or the new Board of Directors?

    scprokop

    A work of a Dimension 4600 motherboard can be used, provided it is in a usable state.

    As the Dimension 4600 is obsolete for many years, I doubt there is very no new motherboards available, only the so-called "renovated" boards, which are 'pull system '.

  • Question for Dell Dimension 3000 IDE connector

    Hello

    I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, but please be patient with me. I have a loyal Dell Dimension 3000, 2 GB RAM, P4 processor, 1x250GB HDD burners 2xDVD-R, 1x3.5in floppy drive hard.

    My Question is how to be able to add a second HDD. I have no way to connect to one. The cable I have all what it connects to the current. There is no way with my current cable to connect a second HDD. I don't know what type of connector IDE cable I need or where to buy it, or if there is even an option to one.

    I have the tray and extra HDD ready and waiting but no way to connect. Any help is greatly appreciated.

    John Briggs

    The dimension 3000 will support two hard drives, but you will need support for additional hard drive and one connector three IDE 18 "L, 80-wire cable in water data, which is connected to the primary IDE hard drive and motherboard J6J2 PRI IDE connector, see page 38

    Dimension 3000 second hard drive installation.

    There are no instructions for the installation of a second IDE/EIDE hard drive in dimension 3000, but as the Dimension 4600 has the same case and chassis, you can use the 4600 instructions for the physical installation, see page 18:

    http://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_dimension_desktops/dimension-4600_service%20manual_en-us.PDF

    Set the jumpers the second hard drive for "Cable Select" and connect it to the middle connector of the IDE data cable, which is attached to the main hard drive.
     
    After you have installed the reader, enter the setup and make sure the hard drive is set to Auto [on].

    To access the configuration, press the F2 key after a restart of the computer.

    So you're saying that you don't see any connection pool with the name ' ist/DB/SOADemoGnanam"under configuration--> outbound connections pools--> expand javax.resource.cci.ConnectionFactory DBAdapter deployment?

    You can check if you have a deployment plan for DBAdapter under the directory $MW_Home\Oracle_SOA1\soa\connectors\? If you see a plan here, so take a backup of it and remove the entry from pool of connection ' DB/ist/SOADemoGnanam' from there. Save it and try to transfer the DBAdapter.
