• Question for Dell Dimension 3000 IDE connector

  Hello

  I'm not sure if this is the right place to post, but please be patient with me. I have a loyal Dell Dimension 3000, 2 GB RAM, P4 processor, 1x250GB HDD burners 2xDVD-R, 1x3.5in floppy drive hard.

  My Question is how to be able to add a second HDD. I have no way to connect to one. The cable I have all what it connects to the current. There is no way with my current cable to connect a second HDD. I don't know what type of connector IDE cable I need or where to buy it, or if there is even an option to one.

  I have the tray and extra HDD ready and waiting but no way to connect. Any help is greatly appreciated.

  The dimension 3000 will support two hard drives, but you will need support for additional hard drive and one connector three IDE 18 "L, 80-wire cable in water data, which is connected to the primary IDE hard drive and motherboard J6J2 PRI IDE connector, see page 38

  Dimension 3000 second hard drive installation.

  There are no instructions for the installation of a second IDE/EIDE hard drive in dimension 3000, but as the Dimension 4600 has the same case and chassis, you can use the 4600 instructions for the physical installation, see page 18:

  http://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_dimension_desktops/dimension-4600_service%20manual_en-us.PDF

  Set the jumpers the second hard drive for "Cable Select" and connect it to the middle connector of the IDE data cable, which is attached to the main hard drive.
   
  After you have installed the reader, enter the setup and make sure the hard drive is set to Auto [on].

  To access the configuration, press the F2 key after a restart of the computer.

  For the details of the system configuration, go to page 34, here:

  http://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_dimension_desktops/dimension-3000_service%20manual_en-us.PDF

  Use disk management to partition, format, and assign a drive letter on additional hard drive after installation for Windows to recognize the hard drive.

• Can dimension 3000, I start the CD RW?

  I have 2 optical, cd/dvd drives and cd-rw but dvd player is broken, will not open. Can I use the cd RW? BIOS lists only the floppy, DVD and HDD. I tried tapping f12 when restarting with dell os disk into the cd rw drive, but she starts just xp hard drive.

  It's the old pc I want to format, reinstall xp and puppy linux.

  I've never done something like this before.  I hope that someohe can help!

  You seem to have done the settings are correct, but the player does not seem to read your boot drive.  To try again, set the second master back to enabled, set the secondary slave off and physically move the connector at the end of the Ribbon to the broken car to the player who works.  Sometimes they have a failed drive on the IDE data cable prevents a good drive to work, so the only thing to do is to remove the bad drive.

  Your problem may also have something to do with the disc you are trying to use.  Some CD/DVD players have trouble switching between the two formats when used to start the computer.  Also, remember that if the CD player is only he will not see anything on a DVD.  Windows XP Setup floppies are almost always a CD, but I seem to remember that the Media Center disc was a DVD.

  I've never owned a Dimension 3000, but the Dimension 2400, which is roughly the same age could certainly start from a provided USB memory stick had the correct startup information.

  EDIT: Went back and just reread your post and I see that I have mistakenly believed you had turned off the second master.  The primary master is your hard drive, that won't turn off!

• How to disable integrated on the Dimension 3000 video?

  I'll install a videocard ATI Radeon HD 2400 PCI in Dimension 3000 my son.  I will also be upgrading the RAM of the system with

  2 GB (2 x 1 GB) DDR 400 (PC 3200).   How can I disable the video integrated on this system?  In addition, any "lessons learned" to do any update on this system would be greatly appreciated.                 Thank you, Jack

  There is no way to disable the built-in manually video material.  The BIOS has two parameters of the video card; Auto and on board.  The last forces the use of the integrated video, the first is supposed to allow the BIOS to switch automatically to a PCI graphics card.

  The first thing to do is to restart the computer, use F2 to the Dell screen to go to the configuration and verify that the BIOS is set to automatic in the video menu.  Allow the computer start and go into the Device Manager.  Find the Intel graphic card in the display section of maps, right-click to bring up its properties.  Go to the menu "Use" at the bottom and select "don't not use this device - disable.  Restart the computer to verify that you are now a standard low resolution (640 X 480) VGA screen.  This action forces the loading of the VGA driver so that when you install the actual card, you will be able to get a display.  Turn the machine off and disconnect all install them the card.  Remove all external devices except the keyboard and mouse.  The cable of the port monitor built into the port on the new video card.  Power supply and start the computer.

  Let the computer finish starting.  You should be able to see the VGA display, as you did when the monitor is always connected to the onboard video port.  If you do not, something is not right.  Do not try to load the driver for the card, unless you can get a VGA display on it.  First thing to try if you see nothing is to pass the card in another PCI slot.  If that does not do it, remove the power of the computer and reset the NVRAM by removing the cell of the backup of the main card for about a minute.  Replace the cell, connect the power supply and start the computer.  If you still don't see the VGA screen, you should try another card.  Some of the older Dells did not get along with ATI cards.

  If you see the VGA screen, put the diskette of drivers for the video card in your CD ROM drive and install the driver.  I guess the drive of ATI's NET software framework on it; This software is necessary before you can install the driver.  I hope that your installation manual includes the details.

• Dimension 3000 starts then dies

  Hi, I have a Dell Dimension 3000 that starts and runs for about three seconds, then dies.  At this point, you will need to cut the power, plug before you will get no response from the PC. I swapped the power supply and disconnected all drives, network card and memory.

  The four diagnostic lights turns on, a couple changes color, then turns off when the power dies.

  I think that it's probably the motherboard or something on the motherboard. is it possible to narrow the problem, so I can buy the right replacement the first half?

  Here is a short film of the lights during the power upward.

  Concerning:

  "is it possible to narrow the problem, so I can buy the right replacement the first half?

  Which is not always possible, unfortunately, while a person may make an informed diagnosis, sometimes, due to the complexity of the components, computer troubleshooting is diagnosis by substitution.

  The power button LED, green, solid orange, green, orange, flashing flashing or off?

  If you're comfortable working around computers, you can try the following:

  Note: The only 100% POWER supply test method, is to install a known working power.

  Unplug the power cord, hold the power button in for about 15-20 seconds, open the case, disconnect the power connector 20 pins on the motherboard and jumping the Green wire to one of the black wires, plug in the power cord and the power of the system, if the PSU, case fans and disk hard drive performance then the power supply can be good.

  Note: Do not remove the wires from the plug, use a small piece of wire or a paper clip as a rider.

  Extract supply and the system still does not work, yet once remove the power cord, hold button power in a few seconds to discharge residual power, reconnect the connector 20 pins on the motherboard.

  Remove any PCI video card [as appropriate], memory cards, all the devices, unplug data cables and power to all readers, check that the cable from the front panel is connected to the motherboard, without anything else connected to the system, reconnect the power cable and power the system on.

  If there is no difference in the diagnostic lights, a "Beep" codes and/or the indication of the LED on the power button, it would seem that the motherboard is dead or maybe the processor.

  Note: The good news is, processors lack rarely, being the only method I know to check a processor, install a compatible work PC, or use a known job processing.

• Installation of old as accessory old computer hard drive - IDE cable doesn't fit!

  I want to add my new hard drive from my old computer as an accessory.  I was able to get the old hard drive mounted in the cage in the new computer.  It was easy to connect the molex power.  But the parallel ATX of IDE cable from the old computer does not enter the unused on my new HP a6660t parallel IDE cable.  Cable parallel IDE of the ATX is too wide for the parallel IDE port on the HP motherboard.  Is there a cable or adapter I can find what works?

  I thought than that - this isn't an unused IDE port, it is a spare for the power supply connector.  I need to get a SATA PATA adapter.

  Check maual of the user of the ignition key (e.g. F11) you need to press on when you first ask the computer to access the XP restore partition. If you have a "restore CD" the game that the BIOS so that the CD-ROM drive is the 1st device to start, followed by the hard drive. then power on the computer and "press any key" when prompted to start the installation.

  It is absolutely essential that any new module of RAM is fully compatible with both the motherboard and/or any other module of RAM already in the system.  In addition, there are sometimes jumper switches on old motherboards that need to be reset for new configurations of the RAM.  Consult the manual of your motherboard or the web site of the manufacturer for specific instructions and compatibility requirements.

  If you can't get your hands on the manual of the computer and the manufacturer does not provide a support web site, you can use these utilities to help determine the right kind of RAM required:

• Dimension 3000 to Windows 7. Need driver onboard video

  I've just updated my Dell Dimension 3000 desktop computer to Windows 7. After installation, window Device Manager indicates that the video controller device needs the driver upgrade. I tried to download the driver from the Dell support Web site, but Windows does not recognize it. Someone there has the same problem? Dell just introduced any driver that works with Windows 7?
  Thank you

  You don't need a new video card, I just did after a Win7 update and it worked fine with the native video.  I can now go up to 1920 x 1200.

  The process of

  1. Download the driver located here. It's the Intel 82865 G Graphics Controller driver.
  2. When prompted, save the file to C:\dell\drivers\R106458.
  3. If you try to run the setup.exe file, you will receive an error message. It's okay (for now).
  4. Find the setup.exe file in the C:\dell\drivers\R106458 folder.
  5. Right-click on this file and select "Properties".
  6. Click on the "compatibility" tab and change the settings for "XP" (service pack 3)
  7. Now, go back to the file setup.exe in the C:\dell\drivers\R106458 folder and configuration file should work normally.
  8. When you are prompted, restart your computer.
  9. Go at the start > Control Panel > appearance and personalization > adjust the resolution of the screen.

  You should now be able to adjust the resolution of your screen freely. This technique, although that not tested, could also run on older versions of Dell Dimension who encounter the same problem. I hope this helps someone else out there.

  Accessories for this guy, Dave Panfili, is info on his page, I just found on the net.  FYI, I also changed the properties to "run as administrator" just to be safe.

  Best regards, John

  With an older system like the 3000, you will only be able to use the old PCI interface for a video card.  These cards are more expensive and there is no reason to spend too much on an upgrade when dealing with older systems like that. Popular cards have been the 6200 Nvidia 8400 GS or the best 9400 GT.  Do not forget only the PCI interface.  No AGP or PCI Express.

  I'm not sure what your goal is the upgrade, but don't expect too much.  I know that people have upgraded to these cards to play games like the Sims.  Your system is just old with old parties slow and he can't move much faster with a video card.  You have 3 PCI slots on the motherboard.  Put the card into the top slot of most and move all other cards down lower if installed.  You should probably disable your chart integrated through your device manager before installing a video card for it to work and make sure that the first video is correct in the bios.
