Dell Studio XPS 435MT disk hard clean install of Windows Vista
My hard drive died on my Dell Studio XPS 435MT. I'm doing a clean install of Windows Vista 64 bit on my new HARD drive using DVD relocation provided by Dell with the PC.
(1) I am not able to boot from the CD/DVD player, where is the DVD of resettlement. I have set the priorities of boot and disabled the boot from the HDD. Whenever I try to boot from the CD/DVD drive, I gives me a message saying "no Diagnostic Utility Partition identified; Press a key to reboot... »
If I unplug the new HD, then, I am able to boot from the CD/DVD player and I can not for the Windows Setup screens. However, I can't then point nine hard disk installation.
(2) as I said, I am able to start Windows Setup screens when the HD is initially disconnected during startup. After I get to the Windows Setup screen I plug HD on the motherboard. The new HD must be recognized if I do this? Currently it is not.
(3) following the instructions here, I said I need to 'prepare a USB SATA key in advance.

What drivers to I need? I tried the drivers at this link, but when I try to load them on the Windows installation screen I get a message saying that they can not be found.
Thank you.
I found this thread on the same subject. Unfortunately your BIOS update can be run from Windows, so that won't help. But down a suggestion to unplug and reconnect the hard drive. Looks like that might work for you.

Need advice on the size for my new partition (s).
Currently defined as the partitions:
Total: free:

Basically I want a suitable partition for the new Windows OS 8.1 (more room for restore points).
And the rest of the data area, I guess, as if I had originally.
Does anyone have any other ideas, because I start from scratch.

Wireless card not working after a clean install of Windows Vista
I did a clean install of Windows Vista Home Premium on my HP Pavilion of 32 bits. I've completely updated Windows via Service Pack 2. Given that the clean install, my wireless card, Intel (r) Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN, was not able to detect all the networks. The Wifi card is listed under NICs as being installed and activated. the hardware on my laptop Wifi switch is set on "on" and the light is blue, indicating that the card is working.
I can connect to the internet if I connect physically my computer to the modem with an ethernet cable wireless, so the modem isn't the problem. Other computers can connect to the wireless modem, so my Wifi modem functionality is not the problem. The problem with my computer.
I tried to uninstall the Intel driver and reboot my computer with the generic driver. Install the driver generic, but my wireless card has not always worked. I then ran an update of windows, nothing helps.
I tried to install the "Intel® PRO /? Wireless and WiFi Link"drivers for Windows Vista (32-bit 13.1.1.1 the latest version and the previous version 12.4.4.5 32-bit) for the Intel® Wireless WiFi Link 4965AGN directly from the Intel Web site at http://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProductFamily=Wireless+Networking&ProductLine=Intel%C2%AE+WiFi+Products&ProductProduct=Intel%C2%AE+Wireless+WiFi+Link+4965AGN. The map didn't always work with a driver.
In addition to the pilots, I also downloaded a tool of diagnosis of Intel (Intel® PROSet /?) Utility of WiFi wireless connection for Windows Vista 32 -? Bit). Said diagnostic tool the WiFi card is not installed or enabled, however, Device Manager maintains that he is also installed and active.
Is there a problem that causes Device Manager to say that all is well with the card, but does not map to realize that they diminish the radio signals? Everything's fine, diagnostic, it just does not detect networks around him. Help, please.

Dell Studio XPS 435mt does not - light light orange card mother
I had my Studio XPS 435mt for recent years and love it! Normally I leave my machine on almost every day all day so I can access it remotely. Well, today my power went out (the product is connected to a good surge protector) and now it won't turn back on.
When I plug it in there is a green light to the rear of the machine and internally, there is a orange light, which lights up. When I press the power button nothing happens, not even try to power on. I read a few forums that suggest all of a new power supply, a new motherboard and even a job to 'put your motherboard in the oven' random.
So my question is can I do anything to check what the problem is? Also, if it of a motherboard problem and needs to be replaced, where is the best place to get a motherboard? Reference Dell sells to them directly or I have to go to a 3rd party to track down?
Thank you in advance for your help!
A type of power surge Strip does nothing to protect the PC during a power failure. You need a 'UPS' unit to protect the PC during short power outages (most).
As he ran, anything could have happened to the power supply to the motherboard to a component on the motherboard.
As you have the power to 'keep' alive on the card mother, indicated by orange LED, power supply works somewhat. Unplug the power connector 24 pins on the motherboard. Then the rider GREEN wire to a BLACK wire and see if the power turns on (fan running). If it does, it does not say the PSU is good (only replace it with a known good power is the only true test for a power supply), but it does not say the rotation of the problem is not in the power. If it does not start, food is the likely problem.
If the power supply lights the other most likely problem is the motherboard. Reinstall (unplug and plug back in) the prior panel connector on the motherboard and then give it a try. If it still does not respond, the motherboard is suspect. The power switch, itself, would be a very remote problem.
Dell is a source for a replacement motherboard. There are sites that sell Dell used/given to nine motherboards and ends up with a google search. Only another mother of exact replacement fit and work.
Finally, regardless of the tests do or anything that seems as it isolates a certain part, unfortunately only to replace the part really tell you if it's bad. To avoid buying something you don't need you can make to a PC repair center renamed to what is really wrong.

Graphics upgrade Dell Studio XPS 435MT
Model: Studio XPS 435MT
Processor: Intel Core i7
Memory: 8 GB
OS: Windows 64-bit
Case: In Stock (never did a switch box but would be ready)Graphics card: ATI Radeon HD 4350 512 MB 2
Power: 550w (honestly the first upgrade I did)I pulled a lot of games for this thing, and it has served me very well. I am looking to do an update of basic graphics card but want to stay under $ 300.00, I don't want to go too big or too hot for the system (or unnecessarily powerful but I'm okay with that, like if this happens).
I am also ready to increase the ram, but once again to 8 GB I don't know if I'd get a vein off going up to 16 GB, but at the end of the day it's a learning experience and the installation is always fun.
Also, I'm ready to tell is don't bother, if it would be better to buy a new system, so I can actually consider doing that but shaped why can't not ask like you people seem quite knowledgeable GD.
EPS 12V 2.91 compliance means you should be able to use most of the maps, if the power supply is really high spec.

Clean install of Windows Vista Edition family
Due to a Virus, I had to perform a cold install of Windows Vista Edition family. After completion and activation of the software, I received a message that my product is already in use. It was a clean install on the same computer that has more than 3 years.
Hello Steveowe,
It's normal. To activate it, you use telephone activation. It's free in most countries. See this link from my Web site: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/product_key_already_in_use.htm

Try to format and do a clean install of Vitsa on an old my computer HARD drive at home to be placed in a new Tower. DVD starts up fine and then goes into an endless loop of the repair system that continues to check the c: / drive to find errors. Why is the installation does not start? I know that the folder c: / drive has Vista OS on it from my old compuetr. I want to wipe off immediately and start cleaning up.
original title: try to install clean vistaYou must set your BIOS to start on the DVD from the beginning to the top.
You have a good DVD of Vista (OEM/upgrade or full version) and NOT only a recovery disk provided by the manufacturer of the PC (or you burn you).
For a DVD upgrade, follow the method here and make sure you format your HARD drive thanks to the tools of "advanced install" on the DVD.

If you have a full version of Vista rather than a version upgrade then just do the first part of the above procedure.

Can I use external recovery disk to do clean install of Windows Vista?
Hello
The hard drive in my old PC has not totally. I have a CD of the manufacturer of the PC which is labeled
Windows Vista Edition Home Premium
External recovery (32-bit)
(For distribution with a new PC only) .
I was hoping to buy a new hard drive and use this disc to do a clean install of Vista. Is this possible with this drive?
Unfortunately, I can't support this constructor because they went bankrupt a few weeks ago, and their website has been taken down.
Thank you.
I have now managed to fix the problem and install Vista successfully by, in the BIOS, changing to AHCI to IDE.
A moderator please mark this post as answer. Thank you.

updates after clean install of Vista Home premium
I plan on upgrading the hard drive on my laptop two year old, which will require a clean install of Vista Home Edition full. I live in a remote with the satellite internet service. I would like to know in advance what will happen after the installation with the updates of the program. I will ask you to install them? It would take a lot of bandwidth?
Hi EllenCB,
Welcome to Windows Vista community responses.
Once you make a clean installation on your hard drive is erased. Now, when you install the operating system return updates that have been deleted will be delivered by Windows update to install on your computer. To save time and bandwidth, you can directly install Service pack 1 and Service pack 2 for Vista which would contain more updates. Of course when you run Windows update and when you try to download from the internet, your download speed will decrease. It is best to keep your system up to date which will allow your version of Windows to run better.
Before installing the update, run the checksur tool, this tool is running an ad hoc analysis of inconsistencies that might prevent future maintenance operations. Download the tool from the link below.

First, you must set your BIOS to boot from the DVD:
To learn how to change your BIOS options to boot from the DVD drive, the following tutorial:
http://notebooks.com/2011/05/05/How-to-load-BIOS-and-change-boot-configuration/
Boot from the DVD Windows 8
Click Install now
Accept the license agreement
When the option is displayed to select a type of installation, click (Custom advanced)Select the disk partition where you want to install Windows 8 click Next.
You will receive the following warning:
The partition you have selected may contain files from a previous Installation of Windows. If so, these files and folders will be moved to a folder named Windows.old. You will be able to access the information in Windows.old, but you will be able to use your previous version of Windows.
(At all costs, do NOT click on anything in Format, deletion or Partition name.) So even do a custom installation, your personal files are still kept. Click OK
The installation program will now begin installation. During installation, your computer will be restarted several times.
Once the installation is complete, you can complete the Out of Box experience as the choice of your laptop, create a username, password, your time zone. You can then proceed to download the latest updates for Windows and reinstall your applications and drivers.
You can then retrieve your personal files from the Windows.old folder and reinstall all of your applications and drivers.

Studio XPS 435MT used to power on
My 2 year old Dell Studio XPS 435MT does not illuminate. This happened after a short break. The PC is connected to a surge protector at the time of the failure. When I try it on, the power button blinks orange and fans to contract. The fans tremble twice when the power button is pressed - as it tries to start - but he'll nothinhg beyond that. I have a green light solid on food and a solid amber light on the motherboard. There is no change of material to this PC.
Further investigation revealed that the food was good. I have re-installed THE connections/cards and tried to turn on the unit by disconnecting the components (fans, disks, vid card, etc) one at a time to try to isolate the problem. I also tried a known working video card. No matter what I did, it will not turn on. Same fan tics. I bought a new computer, removed the hard drive and successfully files retrieved from it using a docking station. I didn't belive the hard drive was the culprit here. All the indications stated on the motherboard, so I bought a new (exact same manufacturer / plug).
The new motherboard was going in and connections were verified tripple. The PC then propelled straight up. The computer normally acted through a series of restarts. I thought that I had this figured out and I was very happy because I liked this computer - but not so fast! When I stop the PC completely and tried to power on, I got exactly the same problem. And exactly the same problem no matter what outlet, I used.
Well, I thought that the food was maybe defective and I tried a new. Nope - still no luck with that. I heard that remove and then reinstall the CMOS/BIOS battery has worked for others, so I tried. Of course - it worked. The PC starts, but I have to restore the default BIOS settings. After shutting down, it will still not be able to save, however, without resetting the battery. As a last effort, I replaced the battery and, of course, who did nothing.
Please help me because I really don't want to play with that battery every time there is a power failure or stop and I need to get the new card mother $150.00 returned as soon as POSSIBLE if the computer is off help. Thank you!!!
Thanks for the suggestion - just replaced the power supply with a 600W Corsair after that first try everything and now the system works very well once more.
Before replacing, I tested the original power supply and found to work (short circuit green wire with the black) and also tried to isolate the component problem outside the MoBo, but couldn't find any cause.
I have however noticed that power (at the back of the old PSU) light flickered weakly even if system was off - on the test PSU power LED blinking not.

The Studio XPS 435MT graphics card upgrade
Hi all
I have a Dell Studio XPS 435mt with these specs:
Intel Core I7 2.67 ghz
6 GB of RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4570 512 MB graphics card (it's the original one)
I got nothing so far, but now I want to change the graphics card because I want to play games that require higher performance, I play with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 (1080 p).
So what do you suggest me? What is the best graphics card can I take, compatible with the studio 435mt?
I don't want to change the other components (and I mean the PSU in particular) I don't want to change the graphics card.
So what is the graphics card that pushes the limit of this computer?
I have another question.
I bought this computer in Italy and it's because I'm Italian xD.
Now I'm in Boston for the summer holidays and I would buy the card here. There is a compatibility problem between Italian and American computers?
I mean the GPU are all the same despite the country or there are a few differences to take into account?
I'm sorry if I am repetitive, but I don't know if my questions are clear and understandable.
Thanks for your help!
I have no budget.
True, but even once, why would you spend $129 when the same one that costs only $89 HERE at Newegg. Personally, I wouldn't put a high end as the HD 6970 card in your system, but it is up to you. For me, just is not there, but I know that others have fact. Cards more recent performance today they run cooler and are smaller than the last generation. I know there are people who have put in the hot and power hungry GTX 295 in this system. If you want a high end card without going overboard, take a look at the HD 6850 and HD 6870. However, if you have money, you can do whatever you want if you use an i7 processor to go with it. I'm just a little at low cost.
