Dell Inspiron 1150 Laptop will not recognise Hardrive

My hardrive recently died on my old Dell Inspiron Laptop for 4 years.  To watch someone injured install a hardirve I thought that I could do.  The hard drive I bought was a Seagate Momentus 5400 and it is 120 GB.  This is the model ST 91208214.  I get this message I start my computer.

Primary hard drive 0 not found
No bootable device

I hit F2 in the configuration utility and it shows

Hard drive: None

I wrote to the company making the hardrive and they tell me that no CD is necessary or that it comes with it and it should work with my computer.  Does anyone know why my hardrive is not recognized.  I installed it exactly as it appears on the page Web Dells? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • New HDD in my Dell INSPIRON N5010 laptop, will I go to 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM HARD drive

    I bought the DELL N5010 laptop about 4 years back, and currently it is more under warranty.
    2 days back my hard drive crashed and could not start or install the OS as there are bad sectors on the hard drive has. I plan to buy a new hard drive.

    Which one should I go for a 5400 RPM or 7200 RPM. I would go to 7200 RPM, as it is faster, but I read on the internet that the 7200 RPM generates more heat then 5400 RPM and my laptop is already facing heating problem. I had replaced the fan about 2 months as my laptop used to close because of the heat. The problem of heating has not changed, but laptop does not stop :)

    Anyone using the DELL N5010 laptop with a 7200 RPM HARD drive and he's fine?

    Any kind of recommendation will be greatly appreciated.

    Kind regards

    Sach

    Thanks for the recommendation. The sales in the shop man also recommended the same thing. I bought Seagate 5200 SSHD(Solid State Hybrid Drives) which is still better than the conventional hard drive. :)

    I have upgraded to Windows 10 and now my HP printer will not print multiple pages. The printer is set to print documents from the spool. Thanks for any help!

  • My dell Inspiron 1150 windows xp password son has locked and the screen will not change, we do not know the password or have we not the reset disk, how can connect to reset password

    My dell Inspiron 1150 windows xp password son has locked and the screen displays the dell logo and says that I need the master password or administrator, my son can't remember and we do not have the reset disk, is it possible to get and reset the password or enter the system

    If you are using XP Home Edition, the built-in Administrator account probably doesn't have a defined password. You can start in safe mode, where this account will be selectable when connecting. It allows to connect and change the password of your normal connection.

    To start in safe mode, keep hitting F8 twice a second after turning on the PC until you get the start menu where safe mode is selectable by the up/down arrow keys, and then press ENTER.

    If you are using XP Professional, try to connect using the built-in Administrator account. You don't need to do it in safe mode (although you can if you wish). If your normal login screen is a display of the user symbol and hit ctrl-alt-del twice to get to login to text entry. Type administrator as the user name and try a blank password.

  • Laptop will not boot after Dell logo.

    Yesterday, I tried to start my Dell Inspiron 17 laptop. I bought about three years ago and have not had any problems start to date. When I press the power button, the Dell logo appears and then nothing happens. I removed the battery and held the power button down until delete static. I also tried F2, SATA has changed, but that has not worked. Then I tried to run the diagnostics, but I got a black screen. How can I fix this, or is something broken?

    There's your answer - the hard drive is bad (the boot sequence hangs on the black screen because it can not find the bootstrap on the drive to continue.

    Reinstall the drive (you will need a new, 2.5 "SATA laptop drive - hard drive, drive hybrid or disk solid state drive) that is 9.5 mm or thinner) and reload the OS (from the recovery media if all goes well, you did when you received the system) and you'll be all set.

    Hello

    1. did you of recent changes on the computer?

    Method 1:

    It is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you put the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

    See the link below to learn more about how to clean boot.

  • Dell Inspiron 17R 5720 does not work with the charger. Charger is not recognized. No problem with charger.

    My Dell Inspiron 17R 5720 does not recognize charger. And unfortunately my warranty expired 2 months ago.
    It was plugged and work in the morning, but then in the afternoon I noticed he was running on battery only. It does not start without battery (charger just plugged).

    1 this is what I did to debug. Me and my brother, we bought the same computers Dell laptops at the same time a year and a bit ago. That's why a debugging purposes, it was good.
    I took my charger and plugged into his computer. And it works. Certainly not the charger problem I guess. And when I plug the charger my computer, green light is still on the charger. And I have the original charger provided with the laptop.

    2. now, laptop is running on battery only, so that means that this motherboard works. I think so.

    3. the next thing I did was charger disconnected and removed the battery from the laptop. Then I pushed and hold the "Power" button for 45 seconds to pay a royalty to the flea market. Charger plugged in but laptop will not start.

    4. then I booted the laptop on battery, went to the BIOS and check if the charger is recognized in the BIOS. No, it does not recognize charger. So, if this isn't a charger so what else can we?

    5 laptop has no strange smells so I don't know if something happened with the motherboard, but I guess that motherboard is ok because it works battery.

    6. I was thinking of updating the BIOS, but I can't do it, because it will be not be updated then the laptop runs on the battery, it needs to be plugged.

    Now I'm stuck. I don't know what I can do. I'm willing to spend a little more money on it to try to fix.

    If someone had such a problem in the past please let me know what you have done and if it fixed it.
    Or if anyone has any other ideas, I will be happy and appreciated the help.

    Hello and sorry for this late post. Just had this problem... If there is nothing wrong with the AC adapter, it's a software problem.

    Close the laptop... Unplug the AC adapter / CC... Remove the battery... Plug the power adapter... Start the laptop... Go to the control panel... Find and select the Device Manager... Batteries, left click... Uninstall Microsoft AC Adapter, uninstall Microsoft ACPI compatible with battery control method... In fact, uninstall all you can under the batteries, but that should be all there is. It will be re - install when starting... Stop cell phone... Remove the AC adapter / CC... Replace the battery... Plug the power adapter... Start the laptop... Now, everything should be good.

  • my laptop will not import my photos and my itunes doesn't sync new music

    I'm not sure that the question is my Iphone 5 or the laptop. When I plug my phone both the laptop and the phone between them pick up and my phone syncs automatically, however, my phone always wonder if I want to import new photos and then once I clicked on Yes, it says that no pictures are available. Also when you try to import pictures on an app on the phone, he could not pick up one of my recent photos.

    As well as what I downloaded some new music on my itunes on my laptop, however, given that I brought music apple songs downloaded on my itunes on my laptop will not sync and I don't know why. The phone syncs and always put my new music on the phone when it syncs, but it's their import is no longer automatically.

    Thanks for any help in advance.

    You can copy photos manually from the film. It might sound like a somewhat random Folders collection.

    With Apple active any music that you add to your library becomes automatically available for you to download or listen to on your device. Music sync via USB, however.

    Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hello

    Try the following.

    First of all, regarding the manual of maintenance on the link below--remove and reposition your bars of memory.

    If the above makes no difference, and you have more than one Module of memory installed, try the following - if you have only 1 Module installed, try in the other available slot.

    Again, regards to the manual on the link below, delete one of your modules from memory and then see if the computer will start.  If it doesn't, try the same module, but in another location.  If it is still won't start, try the other memory module in both slots, to see if any combination will allow the laptop to boot up normally.

    The procedure for withdrawal of these modules is detailed on Page 50 of your maintenance & Service Guide.

    Kind regards

  • K010 ENVY: my laptop will not turn off

    Hello

    When I shutdown/hibernate/standby/resume my laptop, it will die completely.

    All programs will be closed (when stop or restart) and I think that OS will also close. But the laptop will not turn off. Power LIGHT and fan will stay on.

    And when I try to Hibernate, everything is ok, but I have the same problem.

    Whenever I have to turn it off by holding the power button, otherwise the battery will be discharged.

    After manual turn off, when I turn it on again, everything works correctly:

    -If hibernation: OS will continue to last situation.

    -If start/stop: OS works normally without error or warning.

    After sleep, OS works from the beginning. Because the data stored in RAM and will be deleted after power off.

    Perhaps a portable automatic perevent equipment turned off. All the drivers are up to date.

    Is there a parameter/software to check and fix my problem?

    Thank you

    Hello

    You are welcome

    On some machines, the pilot for 11 series IMEI has been known to cause that kind of question of the judgment, so it may be worth trying an earlier version.

    You can use the following method to install an earlier version of the driver IMEI.

    Download driver IMEI on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp66001-66500/sp66228.exe

    Disable your wireless card (should be f12 ).

    Open your download folder and run the installer - it warns you that it is an earlier version, but simply continue.

    When finished, restart the laptop.

    If the computer shuts down correctly, turn on your wireless adapter and use the utility on the following link to prevent Windows 10 to update automatically the driver IMEI again.
