Dell Inspiron disk HARD failure

My Inspiron 1520 HDD son dropped out and if a replacement is relatively expensive, the machine was not supplied with all CD media if do not have a Windows XP disc to reinstall the operating system.  In addition, the windows sticker product key seems to have been placed in a hot spot on the base of the laptop and is unreadable, any suggestions on how I can re - install XP from a generic disk?

Unfortunately, this o ly applies to the United States and I live in England.  Talk with the Support technique Dell this morning and bought a replacement HARD drive, while it was more slightly more expensive that buying direct of ironmongers, Dell included delivery the next day and offered to throw in replacement XP media and specific hardware for free driver.

  • 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).

    I suggest to check the system into safe mode with networking, follow the listed below as follows:

    • Restart the computer.
    • Press on during startup until the Windows Advanced Options menu appears.
    • Press with networking Safe Mode is highlighted, and press .

    In the issue persist in safe mode so would run you dell diagnostics running on the system, press to the initial Dell logo screen, then select Diagnostics from the boot menu.

    I had HARD drive replaced 6 weeks ago and now it's happening again.

    I'm just sick of this laptop that I at all do not have confidence in it and keep all the data on it.
    Is it possible that another faulty component is originally HDD failure.

  • do not do a test drive as my computer disk hard failure test reports

    Compaq presario cq56, windows 7. hard drive not found

    Hello

    The most likely cause is that the hard is defective and must be replaced.

    As another test, try the following.

    1. create a bootable Ubuntu CD - a guide on the creation of a CD of Ubuntu and download can be found here.

    2. when it is created, follow the guide on the link below to Try Ubuntu.

    http://www.Ubuntu.com/download/help/try-Ubuntu-before-you-install

    The option "try Ubuntu" runs the operating system from the CD without having to install on your HARD drive.  If it works Ok (it will be slow running on a CD), this would tend to confirm that the problem is only with the HARD drive.

    If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP and arrange for the disk replaced - you can check the status of your warranty here.

    If you live in the United States, contact HP here.

    If you are in another part of the world, begin here.

    If you are out of warranty and would like a guide to replacing the hard drive yourself, please let me know - include the full model number and your series cq56 notebook Nr - see here for an explanation.
