  Support perhaps is not available, because the Inspiron 3650 specifications say that only 1 x 3.5 "hard drive is supported, but hard 2 x 2.5" drives are supported, see page 12 here:

  Hi, need help, bought a new o drive HARD 500 GB, to replace my old one o. 320 Gb but impossible to reinstall win7 64-bit sp1, it gives me the following message "no boot sector on hard drive internal"

  Hi Carosopo,

  The reason why you get this error is because there is no boot sector on your hard drive. You must install Windows 7. Let me suggest you to follow the installation guide for Windows (link below). The first step is to start on the Windows installation disc.

  If there is no driver XP not listed then you model does not support XP, you can watch mode "XP".

• Dell Inspiron 14R WLAN Card disabled

  Hello

  I have a Dell Inspiron 14R running under Windows 7 64-bit. I had my PC from last November; about 7 months.

  I was with my PC, and all of a sudden, I started having problems with wireless. I was unable to get on the internet. Other devices on my wireless network are able to connect to our network, but it is not relevant because my radio was not picking up anything at all, when he was still in the same place. The connection worked very well using an ethernet cable. After that is the problem, my Targus Bluetooth mouse also stopped working.  That's what I tried:

  1. Enter the Network Center and sharing, disabling my network card and then allowing him once again. This is usually the case. After having it more than 5 times, it never worked.
  2. Do a simple system restore. I tried to restore 3 different times for an update in the last week, each of them failed (probably another issue altogether).
  3. Re-install my NIC driver wireless and then restarting. This does not solve the problem.
  4. Check the Device Manager. He said that the wireless card worked properly.
  5. With the help of the DW WLAN CARD Utility. It says on the Link Status tab, after the State of the connection, Radio disabled. I tried right-clicking on the icon in my Notification area and then clicking turn on the transceiver. He then shows an alert saying that "the wireless network card is always disabled. Use the wireless switch or the hotkey to activate it. "By pressing Fn + F2, which is also supposed to allow the radio is nothing, without any action or whatever it is sign of Windows. I also tried to run tests under the Diagnostics tab. All the tests of transmitted material, with the connection test again for giving me this alert: "the wireless network card is always disabled. Use the wireless switch or the keyboard shortcut to activate"and then failing. When you run the diagnostics of CCX Client is the same thing.

  What should I do? The problem is obvious that my card is disabled, as all signs point to that. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could fix this? I have tried everything I know, not to mention countless Google searches.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Welcome to the community. On the Inspiron N4010, use the F2 key to activate wireless on or off. Use Windows Mobility Center in Control Panel to check the status of the wireless connection.

  Thank you

  So if anyone can help it would be much appreciated

  Once the HARD drive has been replaced, boot from the Toshiba Recovery disk and follow the instructions on the screen. The HARD drive must be formatted during the installation procedure

• touchpad no longer works on my Dell Inspiron 14R

  I have a gently used, Dell Inspiron 14R, my mother gave me a year ago.  It is 2 years old and was working fine until my child of 8 years began to play with her. I don't know what happened, but now the touchpad has stopped working. I have attached an external mouse which works fine, but I want to download photos from my iPhone and have that on the USB port.

  Buy a USB hub. They are inexpensive; Amazon has them from $5.99
  US.

  They transform into a USB port into several, as an extension or a cube
  tap turns an outlet in several.

• Installation of SP3 on a newly formatted HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a few questions about the installation of Windows XP Service Packs on newly formatted hard drives.

  Recently I have formatted a new HARD drive and installed Windows XP Home Edition. In order to be upgraded to Service Pack 1 to 3, it is recommended to connect to Windows Update and download and install it from there. I did this and was prompted to install Service Pack 2. During the last steps of the installation (I think that durng the procedure of 'start process'), I lost Internet connectivity and was impossible to reconnect (I use a USB dongle. I think that a virus infection is interfering with the connection). That's why I had to restart my computer for the installation could be completed, but it seemed to be successful that I was able to reboot without any problem. I assume that the installation had actually finished and it was just reset stage that was interrupted.

  Question: even if the installation of Service Pack 2 has not finished and my machine seems to be fine, reinstall Service Pack 2 in order to ensure that it is completely installed?

  Question: Why should I install SP2? If Service Pack 3 contains all fixes and features of all previous Service Packs and it is acceptable to upgrade to Service Pack 1 to 3 directly, why didn't Windows Update invite me to install Service Pack 3 instead?

  Question: I have found a manual download of Service Pack 3 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=5b33b5a8-5e76-401f-be08-1e1555d4f3d4&displaylang=en), but Microsoft strongly recommends that use you it only on machines in a network, and not on a single computer. Y at - it hurt to do?

  A question here, is that if Microsoft recommends that download the latest Service Packs of Windows Update online, so it seems not possible to fully guarantee your Windows installation before connecting the interest for the first time. All the while I'm software download and installation of Service Pack 2, malware, worms and viruses have been infecting my computer (Avast! blocked a malware exploit). So even if I managed to upgrade to Service Pack 3, my machine is already infected.

  Is there a recommended way to upgrade to Service Pack 3 before you connect to the Internet for the first time?

  Thank you

  Tristan
