• Inspiron 5160 hard drive upgrade

  Think to upgrade my Inspiron 5160 to a hard drive bigger.  I did some research on this forum and the Dell support site and found no size max displayed.  In this forum, I have seen that most laptops of this vintage have 137gig Bios limit so I'm assuming that this one will also be.  I have the installed Bios A08 if that makes a difference.  I don't want to use any disk manager program too to run larger.  With this in mind, can anyone confirm my suspicions about the 137gig (effectively a 120 gig drive max) limit on this laptop?

  TIA

  
  

• Dell Inspiron 3520 - hard drive failure - how to install Windows 8 on the new hard drive

  I bought Dell Inspiron 3520. My hard drive has stopped working completely. It was stated as dead hard drive by diagonstic center.

  I have now bought a new hard drive but have lost data and windows 8 preload on the original hard drive. Dell did not provide any recovery disk for Windows 8 pre-loaded on portable hard drive. How can I then install windows 8 / 10 on my new hard drive?

  The .iso image file official 10565 has only:

  • Overview of the House of insiders
  • Overview of the Insider Pro

  Unfortunately, there are 5 editions of Windows 10 and so 3 are missing. If your key is not automatically entered and accepted, it's probably a simple language edition or edition N.

  When Microsoft release 10586 - TH2 - 1511 Version they will probably have an .iso that contains all 5 editions in 1 .iso or alternatively 5 .isos distinct (I hope as the first case that it will make Windows installation much easier).

• Dell inspiron 1525 2008 model replacement hard drive

  Hello

  My dell inspiron 1525 hard drive was faulty and I am looking for a replacement drive. While looking for the hard drive, I have found there are 2 types of hard disk of 2.5 inch SATA

  1, height 9mm

  2 height 7.5 mm

  Can anyone confirm that it adapts to my laptop?

  Thank you

  Older models have the readers of 9 mm. Get a Crucial BX200 240 GB SSD will be 7.5 mm but they will understand a spacer so that the SSD fits. The SSD will make your system much more vivid:

• Internal hard drive product compatible for Dell Inspiron 1525

  I need to replace the hard drive in my Dell Inspiron 1525 laptop. The current I is Seagate 2.5 ", 160 GB 5400 RPM and. The space must be 500 GB or less. I prefer Seagate Momentus Thin ST500LT012 500 GB at 5400 RPM. This would be compatible with my laptop. Otherwise, what are you kindly suggest another replacement for this drive.

  Any 2.5 "SATA drive will work - if you go with a 7 mm disc ("thin") you might have a spacer for mounting the drive, because the system is designed to take the road of 9.5 mm and the thinner one is unable to make contact with the motherboard without spacer.

  I'd go with WD or HGST drives - Seagate had problems of reliability of the end.

• Connection user other Dell Inspiron 1525 problems

  I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 and am unable to reach the Windows desktop. Embedded is Windows Vista, I tried almost all the options through the start screen Safe (F8). I resorted to Easy Recovery Essentials for Windows SystemDiscs.com download - allowed me to access the drive, but not to fix it.  I also tried Windows Defender Offline tool nothing helps.

  In things now, the laptop boots up to the point where 'another user' login screen is displayed, and no password on Earth will allow you.  In addition, no matter how many times F8 is hit, the splash screen does not appear.

  I have managed to copy all personal information off the drive, but I am not prepared to accept that the only solution is to buy a new hard drive.  What about windows
  platform?  What I have to buy a new copy of the said so?  Why not just take the loophole to buy a new laptop? Is there anyone here willing to put their knowledge and experience to the table?  Sorry to her grumpy - any help would be greatly appreciated. Just an honest effort to try is all I ask.  Thank you very much in advance.

  Hi Kestrel316,

  OK, let's take it step by step. First, you must determine if the disc material is good or faulty. To do this, start on your drivers and utilities Dell disk and run the Dell diagnostics.

  To test your hard drive using your Dell Drivers and Utilities disc:1. Reboot your system. When you see the Dell logo, hit F12 to enter the boot menu.2. Insert the Dell Drivers and Utilities disc in your CD/DVD drive.3. Pick the option to boot from the CD/DVD drive.4. You will be prompted to hit any key to continue booting from the CD/DVD drive.5. You will be prompted to hit 1 to run the Dell diagnostics. You may see two such menus.6. Select Test System.7. Select Custom Test.7. Use the arrow keys or mouse to select your hard drive.9. Click Run Tests.10. Write down any error messages.
  

  Second, if you need a replacement. Your Inspiron 1525 requires a laptop SATA hard drive. They are fairly easy to find at any electronics store or online.

  Third, you the disks to reinstall Windows from Dell. You DO NOT need to buy a new copy. Your license provided with the laptop (it is on the bottom). Since you are outside the United States, you must call Dell customer service to order. They'll send you a Vista reinstall drive, as well as a drivers disk.
