Dell XPS 9343 HDD - lack of 175 GB

Hello

I recently purchased the above product and have loaded Windows 10. The Samsung PM 851 m2 2280 256 GB SSD is now 100% complete (Go real 237 is 237 GB used).

The setting of the use of the storage for the apps and games say that they take up to 193 GB but when I add the individual components, they absorb only 18 GB! I've already moved my OneDrive folder on an external drive. It holds all my my documents on a daily basis. I moved also Adobe v 13 products that are approximately 7 GB on the external drive. I then downloaded all the latest drivers. Ultimately, the space has been used with updated drivers.

Where then my 175 GB go? Your urgent response would be appreciated.
In addition, recently received notice of an update for the backup of Dell and recovery. I ran it, but to 6% finished a message popped up that a file could not be repaired. The backup, then stopped. I'll try and run again.

Hi Osprey,

Solved. I had created a mirror of my user account. Deleted, returned the 175gbs. Thanks for your interest. Win 10 has been installed.

  • Format and reinstall Windows 10 - Dell XPS 13 9343

    Hello

    I have a Dell XPS 13 9343 provided with windows 8.1 and I have upgraded to windows 10.
    I would like to format and do a clean install of windows 10 and after that to create a dual boot with ubuntu.
    I don't want to retrieve anything, just in any format.
    My question is:
    1. What is the best way to do it? Is there a preparation necessary before formatting (except backup)? If anyone can point me to a relevant detailed guide, it will be great.
    2. do I need to care that I want to install ubuntu in dual boot, when I format and install windows? Or just to install after windows is already installed?
    Thank you.

    10 Windows will recreate all the partitions it needs. If you want to save your old settings factory Dell backup and restore use to make a bootable USB:

  • Looking to update the graphics card in my Dell XPS 8900 EVGA GeForce GTX 960.

    I have a Dell XPS 8900 Special Edition that I bought a few months ago. I want to upgrade the OEM GeForce 745 of GTX that it came with an EVGA GTX 960.

    I have the Dell XPS 8900 (processor i7 - 6700 k), 32 GB of memory, 2 TB HDD + SSD of 32 GB m2, monitor cache Dell UP2516D and Windows 10 Pro. I'll add a second monitor Dell UP2516D soon and later add an SSD and move the OS and applications on.

    My needs are not at stake. I mainly business applications (MS-Office, including access and project), finance and investment, and a lot of photo and video editing.  Photo editing software uses the GPU if I update.

    EVGA has suggested either of the following, based on what would be good:

    http://www.EVGA.com/products/product.aspx?PN=04G-P4-1961-KR

    http://www.EVGA.com/products/product.aspx?PN=04G-P4-3963-KR

    These cards are almost identical except;

    #1 is long of 6.8 ", has 1 BIOS, 1 fan and use 128 watts for $160

    #2 is 10.1 "long, has 2 BIOS, 2 fans and consume 160 watts for $170

    I thought I would replace the graphics card myself, but once I opened the folder, I was wondering if the two cards will even fit.  I saw that other people have swapped their graphics card, so it must be possible.

    When I look in my case, the existing graphics card is a single location.  These two cards are double slot.  In addition, it seems that there are a few transistors just next to the existing card.  When you install a card double slot, the new map is just overlap the transistors under?

    Finally, in view of these two cards and the XPS 8900 case, is it possible to put the card in?  Is it worth the extra $ 10 earn an extra BIOS and fan, to the detriment of one more card of time and 12 watts?

    Any help or thoughts are greatly appreciated, thank you.

    Dual cards fit without any problem. Many have improved their 8900 XPS and 8700 with cards that need two slots of width.

    I prefer the models dual fan as they run cooler. They have a bigger heat sink and with relatively low heat from GTX 960, some are silent at idle because the fans do not work.

    For example, MSI GTX 970 son fan only above a certain temp that only happens every game. Maybe the EVGA card did the same thing. It is nice to have a quiet system at idle.

    Regarding the adjustment, the MSI GTX 970 games 4 G card Dimensions are (mm) 140 x 277 x 35. Length and height are tight but it fits without cutting.

    In addition, as noted speedstep you run SATA cables under the card. I replaced the SATA cables with longer cables, so they route toward the front of the box, then under the graphics card and upward.

    This thread has many cards different people have added. (the link is on page 26) and about the halfway point is my son with the MSI GTX 970 system, which (I think) is slightly larger that the EVGA 960 you listed.  It also shows the case mod to add a front fan.

  • Upgrade the hardware of Dell XPS (L521x) how to perform a clean reinstall of Windows 10 Pro

    Hello

    I searched on the internet with the question that I have before doing the upgrade and the re-installation of windows. But the messages and solutions are all scattered. I really want to clear this for me once and for all if possible.

    First of all, the material that I bought for this upgrade:

    1 Samsung 850 EVO mSATA SSD 120 GB (to replace the one 32 GB (factory default)

    2 western Digital Black 750Go Performance Mobile HDD (7200 RPM, 2.5 inches)

    3 Intel (r) Dual Band Wireless - AC 7260 (802.11ac, 2 x 2 Wi - Fi, Bluetooth)

    4. crucial Ballistix Sport SODIMM 16 GB (2x8GB) PC3-14900 CL10 at 1.35v 204 pin memory

    BTW, my Dell XPS 15 L521x has an intel core i7-3632QM and an nVIDIA GeForce GT 640 M. It also comes with 32 mSATA SSD as cache for the WDC 1 TB HARD drive.

    My goal:

    1 install/reinstall Windows 10 mSATA SSD 120 GB and free 500 MB give or take for system reserved partition.

    2. use the remaining space in the C: drive.

    3. use WD Black 2.5 inch 750 GB HHD for cold storage

    4. Remove and reinstall the wireless card Intel Dual Band for a better Wi - Fi compatiability for most routers dual band out there. (Factory default, well, is not great to say the least)

    5. Remove and then install the crucial RAM (compatiable with L521x) is to upgrade memory of my laptop (maybe a little future-proof;) (D).

    Before you start the upgrade, I know I have to do the following steps:

    1. update my BIOS/UEFI. (I did it)

    2 clear accelerated Intel Rapid Start Technology (IRST) GUI (my laptop keeps inviting that "your system does not have any intel repaid with start technology").

    3. change Intel Smart response Technology (ISRT) to AHCI in BIOS

    4 back up my files

    5. my 10 Pro Activation of emergency Windows (how exactly? The Win10 Pro is upgraded to Windows Pro 8.1 with OEM Dell)

    Now my question is what I do or what I've been missing so that what I will meet errors or problems if possible.

    Also, I have heard or seen something on the OEM of Windows version. If I change the hardware, disk files or recovering backup activation does not recognize my device. Is this true? If necessary, I can buy a new version of Win10 Pro retail. But, what I really need to do, and does it perform a not-so-complicated work around?

    Thank you very much

    Dean

    If you keep your motherboard you have no problem taking the other components such as SSDS.

    Your system is already a Pro 10 Windows device.

    Installing clean with 10 Windows installation media Pro TH2 your OEM Pro 8.1 Windows key will be automatically entered to the UEFI BIOS and Windows 10 Pro TH2 automatically reactivates when your systems online.

  • Dell XPS 8300 GPU issues

    I had a Dell XPS 8300 since 2011.

    The specifications are:

    Image Intel i7-2600 3.4ghz processor

    460W POWER supply

    8 GB RAM

    Sapphire AMD Radeon HD 5670 1 GB GDDR5

    My problem is that my video card is dead after 4 years and I need a replacement as good, or better, for less than $100. At first, I thought it was easy. Ordered a GT 730, a card nice entrance a little better than the 5670 range and more efficient power and he went through the installation process. The AMD drivers, uninstalled, change video card and it fits perfectly. The problem is that I just get a black screen on startup or, sometimes, the Dell splash screen.

    After hours of research I discovered that this won't work because the motherboard, 0y2mrg and it's bios, A06, are incompatible with the new GPU. Seriously? Rarely have I never heard of this problem. The last update is in 2011, the same year that I got this PC when it was new. What the hell with the lack of support?

    Whether it is, I'll find something which is compatible, but unnecessarily difficult. Those who have asked the same question to be taken from a few years ago and expired or no response. I've seen the Dell has approved the cards and they are ridiculously overpriced for what they are. The 5670 is a super card low-end and was again released as a back then, but Dell wants to sell for more than $200? If I try to look for it on other sites, like Amazon or Newegg, it is almost impossible to find or too expensive.

    My question is this, what is a good video card that costs more than $100 - $110 that works with the card mother Dell XPS 8300 and requires no other parts to change?

    Yes, I actually. The variant 750 GTX & it worked perfectly. I guess that something more old than they would be too much like GTX 780 if you wanted something strong, but you would probably need a bigger power supply. The GT 720 and 730 WON'T WORK if you wanted a less expensive solution. The GTX 750 TI is perfect as a modest solution however.

  • Clarity on a Dell XPS 8700 with 2 TB SATA + Intel® SRT 32 GB SSD Cache harddrive

    Hello

    I am buying a Dell XPS 8700 with a SATA hard drive with a 32 GB SSD cache. I want to know if the SSD is a separate physical disk SATA hard disk, it will be the M.SATA chip on the motherboard.

    Please it is confirmed; I can by adding a larger 256 GB internal SSD, with the o/s re installed on the SSD with HDD as storage of 2 TB.

    Yes, it's an mSATA SSD and scalable. You have the option to install the OS on a bigger mSATA SSD if you choose to do.

  • Dell XPS 8500 - start not at all - motherboard problems?

    I have a Dell XPS 8500 I bought in January of 2013 and of course, is now out of warranty. I have not had too many problems with the pc, but last week, I was copying some video files on the SD card in the card on the hard disk drive. My wife told me that supper was ready, so I left the system to finish copying the video files on the HARD drive and ate with my family.

    After we finished eating, I went back in the Office to discover that my computer was turned off. I tried to turn it back on and got no answer to it at all. I held the power button down and still nothing. After unplugging all devices still do not get response. I unplugged the power cord that goes into the food and green on the back of that flickered as I unplugged and plugged in so I thought I had my problem properly diagnosed as a failure of the power supply. I ordered a replacement PSU and installed today but I'm still no response from the computer when you try to start it. I have all the cords of the PSU properly plugged into the HDD and the dvd player and the connector 24 pin to the motherboard as well as the connection of 4 pins so.

    The ONLY answer I get when trying to turn on the computer is that the fan in the power supply and fan to the rear of the case against surges momentarily and return to the stop. They are not even a half of a revolution, and that's all I get.

    Any suggestions would be wonderful! I wonder if it's a motherboard problem and if so, where to find a replacement motherboard. And if not the mobo, what else it could be.

    Thanks in advance for any help you can give me!

  • Factory setting Dell XPS 8500 32 GB MSATA

    I just bought a DELL XPS 8500 desktop computer refurbished with a 2 TB HDD and a 32 GB MSATA SSD, but I am not sure that hard drives have been configured correctly at the factory.  In the BIOS, the computer is configured as AHCI.  The machine came with Windows 8, which is installed on the 2 TB drive (drive C, entitled OS) and nothing is on the 32 GB disk (K drive, named DATAPART1). the SSD is empty showing 29.7 GB of available space.  The machine is in its State from the factory with nothing else installed.

    Caching is 32 GB SSD configured correctly?

    I tried to looked into technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology, but the interface is not installed on the computer.  If I try to install the latest version of the technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver either Dell XPS8500 and site the site of Intel, in both cases, I get a warning that the AHCI driver that will be installed is older than what I currently have installed with the option to install the driver or not install the driver.  If I do not install the driver, the installation stops without having to install anything.  If I do not install the driver, Intel Smart Response Technology is installed, but upon restarting, Windows will not start and I have to restore the computer to its original state.  I tried to change BIOS to use RAID functions and then tried to install it again, but I get a similar warning this time, indicating that the RAID driver that will be installed is older than what I have installed. I didn't want to continue the installation after that I got this RAID warning from my experience when I had put AHCI in place.  I'm for revenue by to AHCI as was the factory default.

    Also, I have two supplementary questions:

    I longingly the SSD to the cache, or booting the operating system, so I looked in install Windows 8 on the SSD, I disconnected the 2 TB drive and started the machine, but I couldn't get the Windows 8 recovery disk provided by Dell to run when the 2 TB drive was not present.  Is it because I'm using a recovery disc and not a true disk of Windows 8, or is this a limitation of the system?

    I noticed that I was not provided with a sticker with my key of Windows 8. I know how to determine the key and have already done.  I was curious if this is correct, or if Dell just a mistake and does not give me the key?

    Hi ekeown,

    I appreciate your efforts to set up the mSATA SSD. You will need to format the SSD drive by following the steps I provided in the following post:
    http://Dell.to/YHvNS8

    You will need to download and install the application of TSRI from our site to download drivers, change the SATA operation setting in the BIOS RAID and activate the acceleration.

    2 TB hard drive contains the recovery partition that accesses the recovery disk to restore the system to factory settings and therefore the option could be used without the drive.

    Product key of Windows 8 is stored in the BIOS of the motherboard and it should be read automatically by Windows Setup.

    Please let me know if you need more assistance.

  • My Dell XPS 8300 hard drive fails? Intel Rapid Storage detects the error when starting upwards.

    My computer (dell xps 8300) has recently frozen and when it restarts it scored one of my RAID 0 hard drives as being a mistake. Surprisingly, my computer still works as always and after an investigation, I traced the gel to vuze trying to check a file after he was already down. I deleted the files causing the freeze and have not yet encountered any more freezing problems. But I'm still very worried, so I ran a disk check, who quickly said the disc is clean, and I also ran tests HD (Long & short) dell support center several times and they always say that readers are working properly. Today, I ran a checkdisk windows another who had a lot more time but seem to come clean. But to restart the computer disk was marked later once again as being a mistake. So I ran the tests of short and long and difficult road dell support center, once again, and the sound still saying everything is working properly. I then decided to try to start some other diagnostics of hard disk: seagate seatools and rescuer of Western Digital. The player has passed the tests of the Seatool, but almost immediately failed the tests of rescuer WD giving the error that there are too many bad sectors. Any advice on how to proceed would be much appreciated!

    Lack of an operating system is the message you get when in fact there is a properly peripheral storage seen by your BIOS, but it is not a valid partition with a valid boot sector table.

    I fear that you may have installed the operating system on a RAID-0 configuration and only now try to start from one half of the band?  Yes, you can WD 500 GB RAID-0 an and a 1 TB Seagate together.  It would be foolish (same capacity as a single player, but all the falls of RAID-0) but the computer doesn't know any better.

    The RAID configuration (breaking apart the RAID) must arrive before the installation of the o/s.  The RAID/mobo card is one of the early stages of the process, he takes these 2 physical disks and mounted as a storage to the motherboard, allowing it to boot from it etc.

    No matter what is happening currently, my advice would be to remove the RAID from the system discs.  You don't want a broken drive / failure connected, even if you do not use it because the computer will continue to warn / complain the RAID broke, the startup BIOS will be keep showing you a disc is seen mistakes SMART, and finally the failed drive can degrade to the point it actually damage something.
