Dell Inspiron 5558 SSD / HDD

Hello

Can I insert a HARD drive and SSD for my laptop together?

Yes you can, please ignore the previous post, although only the readers can have the operating system on it.

I'm typing this on my Dell Inspiron 15R N5110, with a HARD drive installed where SSD original was 120 GB, Win 10 installed and the old HDD drive in a caddy bought on E - Bay and installed in my DVD drive Bay. I use the old disk to store all my music, pictures, Documents etc. keep it separate from the operating system drive.

The old DVD drive is in a USB cart I can plug in and use if necessary.

    My Dell Inspiron 5558 is equipped with 2 graphics cards.

  • Dell Inspiron 5558 boot to Windows 10

    I have several problems with the start menu and windows 10 in general and I decided to reset my computer. I followed the instructions of the control explicitly Panel and then pulled the trigger and clicked on the my Reset Computer.button. The instructions said that the process would take several hours and I started in the evening at the time wherever I left the computer he showed that the process was completed at 15%. More than 10 hours later, progress is still 15%. At that point, I decided to shut down the computer by holding down the button ON / OFF until it stops and start the process again. Since then, all I get is the Dell logo on the screen for about 17 seconds, interrupted by a black screen for 3 seconds. I can get the BIOS with a combination of F8/F12 keys and run diagnostics which, in all cases, show that everything works correctly. Unfortunately I didn't create recovery media before this situation, so this isn't an option. Is there anything else I can do to get this thing working again.

    If all troubleshooting fails then I would suggest you to go to another computer and then create a windows 10 boot USB flash drive. Please follow the steps in the video listed in the link below.

    Dell Inspiron 15 HDD 2000-01 42 error code

    A few weeks ago, my laptop was working fine but the next day, my laptop wouldn't pass the Dell logo when turned on. I ran diagnostics on it and gave me the following results:

    Test results: Fail

    Error code: 2000-01 42

    Validation: 123661

    I'd appreciate it if someone could tell me exactly the problem with the HARD drive, I need to replace, or there may be a wiring problem?

    Thank you.

    Zaharaq

    Error code 2000-0142 indicates a failing hard drive / has failed, you can try to remove and reinstall the hard drive, and then re-run the diagnostic tests and see if you receive the same error.

    If the same error is received, the hard drive has failed and you need to replace it, followed by reinstalling windows, then loading the drivers and applications.

  • Wireless Dell Inspiron 15 (5558) after the sleep or hibernate (Win7 pro)

    Hello

    Just bought my new Dell Inspiron 15 (5558). There is an annoying problem with wireless connection - after sleep or sleep, it is not wireless reconnect automatically extended:

    1. I have the latest drivers (downloaded from dell with the service number support);

    2. already unchecked the box "Allow Windows to turn off this device to save power" (to the adapter, power management);

    3 other computers, tablets and smart phones work perfect with the same router.

    So, I tried almost everything (search the dell community forum) - nothing helped.  It is so boring.

    Please, any ideas or possible solutions?

    Kind regards

    Tom

    Hello, Mr. Todd,

    Thanks for your time and your support. I tried your solution/suggestion, read almost all of the subjects with the options 'wifi connect' and etc... Nothing helps.

    ... But, after an hour of work and different "algorithms", I think I found the solution for my problem:

    1. the Device Manager; Network cards

    2. in 'Microsoft Virtual Wifi Miniport (both) cards' Power manager unchecked box with "allow the computer to turn off this device."

    3. in 'Intel (r) dual band Wireless' faces - case manager checked with "allow the computer to turn off this device."

    4. it seems that this movement has helped to solve this problem. Now, after hibernation or sleep my wifi mode will automatically connect.

    Thank you

    Well, tell me how it works,

    I have dell inspiron 15z with 500 GB hard drive with laptop want to exchange it to 120 GB ssd, but I can't because no media to reinstall and the whole system is on hard Bank...

    I tried to do with software usb recovery dell preinstaled originally, but when I start to install the ssd system it gives me the error message that the new hard disk must be at least 465 GB

    I tried to copy the partition that I tried to do the recovery with another software image, it simply does not. When I tried to install win from another cd that he refuses the number series, even when I used the same version. instead of this test of dell to kill my mood why don't they have just not preparing the software backup and restore Dell to facilitate the use and for SSDS too?

    I would gladly appreciate any help

    Hi Thomiq,

    The backup and restore software would seek similar configuration during the restoration. If the hardware is changed the original image may not work.

    At this point, I see that you will need the operating system disc to reinstall it on the SSD drive.

  • How can I put an SSD inside a Dell Inspiron 660?

    First of all, I want to express how much I love your computers, Dell. You guys ROCK! Best brand of computer I've ever bought. On the subject; I have a desktop PC Dell Inspiron 660 with a 1 TB hard drive. I want to spend the hard drive for an SSD, but I looked inside your case and the hard drive has 2 rails metal (one on each side). That being said; How to fit an SSD in there? I know I need an adapter of sorts that it will allow to get into that, but how I'd cela in view of the way in which the hard disk is set up? I'm so confused! Thanks for your time.

    You install the drive in a silverstone adapter then put the rails on it.

  • Dell Inspiron One 2320 Nvidia GeForce GT 525 m overheating?

    Hello. I have a Dell Inspiron One 2320 I think has problems with the graphics card GeForce GT525m of overheating. 5 minutes of a game, even on the detail settings low, the temperature reached quickly 90 + degrees Celsius. The max I've seen is 96 degrees. This occurred on the first day with the computer and I rarely used it to this problem. I know there is no problems with fans and vents being dirty because I checked all and as I mentioned before the machine ran hot on the first day. Airflow behind the appliance is wide open, so I know that there is no obstruction to the air flow.

    My wife has a laptop (Inspiron 17R) with an Nvidia GeForce GT525m I've tested the same edition of the games and benchmarks on the, with even more detail settings and it reaches a temperature of about 70 ° c max.

    It seems strange to me that a GPU reaches a high temperature in such a short period of time. I have other machines (portable and desktop computers) ever approaching 90 degrees.

    Here is some relevant information on the PC in question.

    Model: Inspiron One 2320

    CPU: Intel Core i5 2400 s

    GPU: Nvidia GeForce GT525m DDR3

    RAM: 6 GB

    BIOS version: A10

    NVIDIA drivers: Tested several Versions Dell 8.17.12.7073 & Nvidia Version 306.97 not changes of temperature between the pilots, all are about 90 degrees Celsius.

    If anyone has experiences similar to this or has a solution I would be very happy. Thank you!

    Overheating was a problem with mine, I made a drastic decision. To fit 120mm fans for the back cover. Check the youtube videos on these mods.

    The cooling is normally a problem on these with many users complaining of the black screens and restart one of the videos shows how to mount the fans/vents aft to increase cooling.

    I therefore a 2320 Dell with i5 2500K (Non-Dell) quad core CPU, 8 GB RAM, 256 GB SSD, 2 TB HDD, DVD burner standard still in use via USB and mounted back cover driving fans cooling the GPU and CPU.

    Games played at max settings use to heat the motherboard to 97 degrees with the fan in place, he fell to-22 degrees to 75 c, which means that the machine not only better performance but last much longer due to the additional cooling.

    I'm using Core Temp to monitor the temperature and OCCT to the stress test.

  • Dell Inspiron N4030 and RAM HARD Maximum disk capacity

    Hello. I want to improve my Dell Inspiron N4030 (with processor Pentium, running Windows 7 Ultimate) with the maximum requirements permitted by the system, but I have heard different maximum specifications from different sources, and I can't find any official information from Dell to know with certainty what is compatible.

  • Dell Inspiron 3520 internal drive not found

    The morning that the pc was working fine, I turned it off and then back on the change to another operating system. Instead of take me to the boot options it took me to a black screen saying;

    intenal drive not found

    to resolve this problem, try reinstalling the drive.

    No bootable device - don't strike F1 to retry to start, F2 enter the Menu Setup, F5 enter PSA

    I did not do anything for the pc, it was just sitting at the table and so I doubt that it can be linked to the material as say several forums.

    When I enter the BIOS it says the disk of HARD fixed; ST500LM012 HN-M500MBB (500 GB)

    Here the details of the computer

    Dell Inspiron 15N 3520

    Windows 8 (with preview 8.1 and Ubuntu)

    use UEFI

    CORE I5 2.5 GHz

    4 GB Ram DDR3

    500 GB of HDD (I think he has a 32 GB SSD cache)

    Please help, I tried to read everywhere on the internet and try everything that does not require opening the unit (the unit is new and is not easy as I wish it were).

    Can someone tell me what to do, or if it can be saved without any hardware change? It has only about 2 months and I have important information inside (no yes no return upwards...)

    Hi joseph97svl,

    Thank you for the update.

    Because the HARD drive is detected in the BIOS, and also the successful test, the equipment works as expected. I suspect it is a software problem and you can consider restoring the system using the recovery discs.  To restore the system using the recovery media, follow the instructions given in the following link:

    http://Dell.to/12Z2Lkq

    In case the recovery discs are not created, send me a private message with the service system number to help you further.  Please click on my name and click on start the Conversation to send me a private message.

  • (Redirected) Cannot boot from the HARD drive on dell n5010 with SSD and HARD drive installed

    I have my old dell n5010 (15R Inspiron) with SSD (Samsung EVO 840 120 G) installed on the main drive Bay and the HDD (Samsung HJJ 500 G) on the optical drive Bay.

    It is a typical way to add an SSD on such an old laptop (bought from dell.com.cn in 2011).

    My Windows 10 operating system has been installed on the SSD using Samsung Data Migration software, so the previous C drive was pointless. So I formatted and installed an operating system Ubuntu 14.04 on it, hoping the grub OSs double beginning located on the HARD disk.

    However, I find no the Dell bios boot option to boot from the HARD drive installed in my optical drive Bay. All the choices are 'Hard Drive', 'Network' and 'Diagnostic '.

    But I was definitely sure that my bios program has detected the SSD and HDD with information on the main menu of the bios.

    And the LED on the optical drive Bay was immediately once I pressed the Start button on my laptop.

    As a general rule, all things were right except for options of the bios boot.

    Is there a way I can boot from HDD (with installed Ubuntu) while remaining has my SSD on the main drive Bay? I don't want to swap their positions, because the SSD is super fast on the main drive Bay.

    I have alse won't migrate 10 Windows to the HARD drive and reinstall Ubuntu on the SSD, because I'd like my windows be loaded quickly.

    Someone at - it the same problem with me?

    Any suggestion is appreciated!

  • DELL Inspiron 11 3147 2-in-1 upgrades

    Nice day. I wanted to share my experience with the DELL Inspiron 11 3147 2 in 1 with Intel N3540. I bought the DELL decision-making. Receipt in very good condition. Slight marks pry where the bottom cover had been removed. I liked the form factor, the convertible function, the choice of the processor and suggested the battery life.

    I added,

    SAMSUNG SSD 850 EVO 250GB,

    Kingston HyperX 1600 MHz CL9 SODIMM 1.35v DDR3L Impact computer laptop memory HX316LS9IB/8 GB Black and

    Intel 7265NGW Dual Band Wireless-AC 7265 802.11ac, Dual Band, 2 x 2 Wi - Fi + Bluetooth 4.0.

    The tools,

    small Phillips screwdriver,

    nylon spudger levers, to promote the elimination of the lower pane l to facilitate the removal and installation of the 3 elements mentioned.

    Adapter USB 3.0 to 2.5 "SATA III hard drive cable w / UASP - SATA to USB 3.0 Converter for SSD/HDD - hard drive adapter cable

    or

    Case disk 2.5 "SATA 6 GB/brightness with USB cable

    Cloning software (Samsung included migration and optimization of the software). You can download from the Samsung website, or drive transfer included, you will need an external optical drive.

    Samsung software at this point 20/08/2015 can support Windows 10 who I had updated. The migration software would not recognize the Samsung SSD as I tried to clone the SSD drive. I called Samsung Customer Service and the other suggestion is that among the updates of Microsoft or DELL, can hide the USB connection. I used the recovery software to get back the Inspiron 11 3147 to original state of Windows 8.1, (no update) and the software of Samsung acknowledged the SSD. I installed the SSD and the recognized system. I am now in the process of updating Windows.

    I had installed memory, 8GB, and the system has recognized and acknowledged the 8GB.

    I had installed the WiFi card and the system has recognized and acknowledged the new card. The Intel 7265 is slightly wider than the original 1707 of DELL, which is a single channel card and he returned without modification.

    There are other options of brand for replaced parts.

    The main idea is to take your time, the background suppression is not complicated, the pry bar helps not to damage the case which is plastic. Parts of Austin, Texas people have a video on You Tube to remove the back to facilitate the removal and insertion of the HDD/SSD. The battery and the HARD drive screws must be removed to perform the Exchange.

    I will update with new information regarding the replaced elements.

    Hello

    I've updated the 3147 11 for Windows 8.1, all updates, you are prompted for on 21/08/2015. Windows 10 was not an option at the moment. I re-recorded through the icon of the window that appears on the notification at the bottom bar to the right. I added no additional software other than Bitdefender Free Anti Virus and CCleaner. I removed McAfee Livesafe, using the remove McAfee software before I cloned the Samsung SSD.

    Notes on hardware upgrades:

    SAMSUNG 850 EVO 250GB SSD; The Samsung magician software news. Used space shows 40GB (Windows 8.1) 191GB of free space. Total capacity in the new storage 232.89 GB drive. The SSD is set for maximum Performance. Performance tests show sequential read 283 MB/sec, sequential write 271 MB/s, 27292IOPS and 18419IOPS to write random shuffle.

    The Samsung SSD 850 EVO has the ability to preform better. The Dell system does not support a port SATA 6 GB/s (SATA3). The Samsung said that the SSD is connected to a SATA 3 GB/s (SATA2) port. I ran across this info on the net. Samsung software seems to be in accordance with that.

    At this point, I accepted the results. I don't game or running demanding software that read/write of the highest scores would be beneficial for me. The advantage of using an SSD vs HDD. The SSD has no moving parts that I have to worry that I hold or move the 3147 11. The beginning, opening closing of the application software/is faster than the 5400 RPM HARD disk provided with the 3147 11.

    The memory of 8 GB of Kingston: The Microsoft System info shows GB 8.00 (7.89 GB usable).

    The Intel Dual Band wireless AC 7265: I have not used any test method to determine the actual changes compared to the Reference Dell 1707. It connects and maintains the connection. I use TWC combo phone/TV/internet by modem. The 7260 Intel and wifi 7265 cards were and are used in other DELL products.

    3147 11 Device Manager shows all connections, no problems. I mentioned that when I had updated for Windows 10 with the HDD, I see a problem a device not connected and no driver available. I will look when 10 Windows is installed.
