How to get or install a 2nd HD for Inspiron 530 desktop PC

I'm helping a colleague to set up a new Dell Inspiron 530 desktop computer. It is not possible to order this online with a 2nd hard drive system. He's thinking about controlling the system with a single HD, then buy another HD locally and adding.

However, what I saw inside my elderly parents Dimension 521, Dell goes HD using a plastic slider/support type and not with the 4 screws usual. I guess that the Inspiron desktop computer uses a similar system and that the plastic support is necessary to mount the HD in the case.

I would like more details on this subject. Is there room to the desktop Inspiron for a 2nd HD? Is it possible to order the HD mounting bracket separately and how? Alternatively, if you place your order by phone, would it be possible to have the 2nd HD included in the original order of the system.

    need to know how to get and install the txtsetup.oem file to install xp

    Hello

    The easiest way would be to visit the website of the manufacturer of the motherboard. This would normally have downloads for any RAID drivers required for the loading of Windows XP. The download can be an "executable" who writes a disk for you. It can be also something like a zip file with all files inside that must be extracted and copied to a floppy disk.

    If your PC is not a floppy drive, life becomes quite complicated.

    I have installed the latest updates for my Compaq desktop computer and the DVD/CD drive bay door will not work. I can get the led light will stop flashing when I open the door all the way, the machine detects the drive but do not read or close on its own, how can I get this disc surgery? Downloading updates, I installed a software disc, when I ejected the disc, the drive comes of is stopped. The computer still sees the drive, but will not read or even close on its own. I also had been using my computer in mode mute until I tried to increase the volume and now the computer tells me no playback device installed. Device Manager acknowledges the Harmon/Kardon soundsticks connected to it, but nothing does, how it works? The Control Panel also sees the soundsticks, but still when I try to move the volume the computer says there is no playback device installed.

    Follow the steps to uninstall and re-install the drivers.

    a. click on start toreduce this includes this im and then click Control Panel.

    b. click system and Maintenance, click Systemand then click on Device Manager.
    Note If Control Panel is in Classic view, double-click System, and then click Device Manager.

    Reduce this includes this imageIf you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or click allow.

    c. in the Manager device, expand CD-ROM/DVD-ROM drives, right click on CD and DVD devices and then click Uninstall.

    d. When you are prompted to confirm that you want to remove the device, click OK.

    e. restart the computer.

    If the methods mentioned above did not help, then it would be best to contact the manufacturer of the computer/CD/DVD player.

  • Adding 2nd hard drive for Inspiron 530

    I have a Dell Inspiron 530 which has a Samsung 320 hard drive.  I would like to add a second hard drive to put photos, etc.  Green a Western Digital 2 TB 3.5 "SATA looks like a possibility.  However, images, like most of the internal drives I saw pictures, he has one open side showing the drive mechanism.  The Samsung already in the PC is covered.  The additional disc will not become covered with dust (my PC had a lot of cobwebs in it when I opened it to the top!)?  Any advice on which drive to choose and how to install it would also be appreciated.

    dellby

    All computers must be inside the frame, cleaned all the dust on a regular basis.

    I have two HD SATA and SSD installed in my Inspiron 530 mini tour and have never had a problem of "dust."

    Keep the air intakes located on the façade behind the clean HD of any accumulation of dust, helps to cool the hard drives.

    Instructions for the installation of a second hard drive physically in a 530 are here:

    FTP://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_inspiron_desktop/Inspiron-530_owner%27s%20manual_en-us.PDF

    Will need you a SATA data cable, there should be a spare power connector SATA inside the case and four 6-32 X 1/4, Phillips head screws to mount the drive.

    Connect the SATA data cable to the SATA connector on the motherboard.

    After you have installed the drive, enter the system setup and make sure the hard drive is "on" [We] and recognized.

    For windows to recognize the second hard drive, it must be partitioned and formatted.

    Go to control panel, administrative tools, computer management, storage, disk management, right click on the new drive, select format, then you can assign a drive letter.

    Hard drives Western Digital and Seagate are good, my preference is for Western Digital.

    Also check the length of the manufacturer's warranty, plus the best guarantee.

    Firefox 4 versions and more late does not run on a PowerPC Mac and require at least OS X 10.5 and an Intel Mac.
