I have a set of 17-inch laptop 2008 which contains two hard drive bays internal, purchased in June. It came with a single hard drive (traditional spinning disc). It is running Service Pack 2, Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit.
My SATA controller is an Intel 82801GBM/GHM (ICH7-M family); I think it's a first-generation SATA controller (1.5 Gbps).
I received recently a 160 GB Intel X - 25 M SSD (second generation SATA, but it is fully compatible with the first generation controllers, without additional or jumpers configuration) as a gift from my wife. I removed my first hard drive completely, installed the SSD in the main Bay and installed Windows, drivers and the Intel SSD utility. I then reinstalled my HDD original in the second span, completely wiped and reformatted it as a partition; It currently contains my music and other multimedia files.
The utility Intel SSD tells me I should activate DIPM for my SSD as opposed to HIPM. This seems to take a bit of tinkering to make Vista, and my situation is further complicated by the presence of my HARD drive (original) secondary, which prefer to use HIPM.
I read the article on the Microsoft Web site on editing the registry to activate the misconduct, and it's something I would feel comfortable doing. However, I don't want my SSD to use DIPM, my HARD drive is expected to continue to use HIPM, and I was afraid that the proposed fix would allow the misconduct for all readers.
Could someone let me know how I can activate DIPM for my SSD while continuing to use HIPM to my HARD drive, I'd be very grateful.
EDIT: My Maintenance of SSD utility said simply that the State of the settings DIPM/HIPM "could not be determined." if Vista automatically selects the correct setting and the SSD utility does not just understand that, which makes my life a lot easier. but it would be nice to know for sure, so I can forget it all (if Vista already defined for me) or change the setting (if Vista did not automatically choose food appropriate for each disk management mode).
You will need two SATA controllers: both on board or an edge and the other on PCI - E.
Configure one who does not need TRIM/DIPM (do not use a SSD) as non-AHCI (compatible IDE/ATA-6) in the BIOS and the other (where TRIM/DIPM will be used) as AHCI.
Connect the drive to which you DIPM AHCI controller. See http://www.abxzone.com/forums/f155/tip-how-enable-dipm-ssds-windows-120968.html for more information.

Replaced the hard drive, need help with drivers and utilities!
Hello
Yesterday, I replaced my old hard drive with a new WD, and I reinstalled Windows Vista. Everything goes fine until I jumped in the utilities and drivers (Resource CD) supplied with the laptop. I guess I thought that the CD all the work, would do to reinstall all the necessary drivers and utilities... Now I'm stuck with a laptop computer that cannot connect to the internet, and the screen is too big. I don't know there is more wrong with my laptop than meets the eye. On the CD of drivers & utilities there the list of drivers and some of them have check marks, others do not. I tried following some online course on which those who/what order to upload, but I don't even have some recommended drivers on the Dell.com site (specific to my Inpiron 1545 model)! I know that I could download them immediately the site, but I don't even have wifi to do.
In addition, I read the performance of a Dell Factory Image Restore and I tried it. When I get the black screen with no option, I have to click on "Repair computer" but the option is not available either... I thought that maybe it would be an easy way to restore my laptop (readers and all) to the original settings. Maybe the option is not there because my computer is practically empty, with nothing to restore? All I have on my laptop at the moment is Windows Vista 64 bits and drivers a couple that I don't know much.
Bit of help and advice would be great.

Need Windows 7 Home Premium 32 - bit license key
Hello.
I have a desktop computer has Windows 7 Home Premium computer, ended the expiration date, and now I need to activate it using the true 32-bit Windows 7 Home Premium license key (detail).
I just want to know...
Where can I purchase the genuine license for this key? I am looking for the internet, but I have not found what I want...
If you have used product keys Windows 7 Home Premium 32 bit (retail, can be transferred), I will be very thankful to you if you can give me...
Because I have not found the right place to buy, I need your advice to me...
Please I need genuine product key Windows 7 Home Premium 32 - bit retail, where I can buy the product key? If you have one, I'll be very grateful if you give me...
I just avoid software illegal, I have fear of God, if I use the illegal, I just want it to be original...
Thank you...
Product keys are not sold separately, you will need to buy it as part of a package.
Because Windows 7 is in limited stock because Microsoft ended sales in October 2013, this created demand due to its rarity. This means the retail boxed copies request a bonus, while the OEM System Builder copies remain affordable.
You can buy Windows 7 Home Premium 64 or 32 bit OEM System Builder License and use the product key provided to activate your installation.
You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.
There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft
Press Windows key + R
Type: slui.exe 3
Press enter
Enter the new product key, and then click next to activate over the Internet.

Need help with installing Windows 7 32 bit / 64 bit editions

My question is, should I buy a new copy of windows 764 bit home premium.
No, as long as you have a disc of Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, you can use the same product key that was used to activate the copy of 32-bit, you had installed.
It is also possible to apply my series of Win7 Ultimate upgrade to an another Windows Installer or it will be related to my original OS install and only the 32-bit version?
If the Express upgrade is planned for the Windows 7 Home Premium to Ultimate upgrade, this computer must also run Home Premium.

I do not have 64-bit Windows 7 Home premium, just a 32-bit version OEM
For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.
It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.
Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:
