  • 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.


  • How to replace the audio driver by default and applet on Windows Vista Home Premium Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop computer?

    I had sound problems and got a pop up saying audio applet did not work, I chkd the sound test in Control Panel and drivers in Device Manager it says all drivers have been updated and had a MS Mr. Fixit scan and everything said it was OK. Also I went to chat with and MS engineer who just told me to do the things that I had already done so who did not help either.  Then, I lost all sound and when I went and chkd Manager of devices, he said that the sound driver was not installed, I went to Dell to have a driver update installed thinking to recognize the missing driver and install it but that didn't work. I can't find something at Dell who tells me how to install the drivers by default/applets. I got chk Dell for updates of pilot and analysis says that it does not work on something more old then XP but my OS is a Vista Home Premium so I don't understand that, I ran an another Mr. Fixit scan but it showed no problems. I suspect it is the applet which has stopped working and it gives a wrong signal that it is the driver that does not work when it is the applet which poses problem. Is there a scan which analyzes all aspects of the audio system and will repair or replace or at least give me a list of things that need to be replaced or updated? Any help would be appreciated I tried to solve this problem for the past two months and I really want to fix this now if possible.

  • Try to reinstall vista OS on dell Vistro 330 desktop computer.

    The PC stopped seeing my connection to the local network. While he was trying to reconnect, somehow my user name and passdword has changed. I ONLY DID NOT go to the users and change the name of the administrator or the password.

    I decided to reinstall the operating system after that I realized I could connect is no longer at the start.

    Asked to enter the name and the psssword on the reinstall from the Dell reinstallation cd. I think that I made my mistake when I put a disc of the operating system Windows XP in the cd drive to boot from.

    The system is supposed to be Vista with XP option.

    All I get is "press any key" to start the cd player, then a white screen. With F8, and then select any desired startup (safe mode, etc.) Sometimes I get the screen with windows 32 messages system and then stops at the end and does nothing, or I get a blank screen.

    I ran diagnostics from the system start and everything is back as norma. (memory, hardware, etc.).

    What can I do now?

    Thank you.

    I continued to try. I just got a message for the second time during my attempts. The pc went to a screen "Windows Boot Manager" and a message to insert the disc of resettlement and finally arrive at the 'repair '. Status 0xc000000f. Locked screen. 'Enter' will continue not and ESC. do not leave the screen. Should turn off.

  • How eliminate the duty press F1 on startup or restart my Dell Inspiron 530 desktop PC?

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas:

    • You have problems with programs
    • Error messages
    • Recent changes to your computer
    • What you have already tried to solve the problem

    Check the time system to see if it is correct.

    If it isn't, it's a sign that it may be a CMOS battery failure, which also having to press F1 is a symptom of, too.

    It's a battery power supply NET, size piece that keeps your system settings when your computer is off.

    They cost about $5 to replace.

    http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000239.htm

    How to replace the CMOS battery in the above link info.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    You can also try setting your Bios back to default values, if the time is correct.

    In the Bios, it will indicate which key support for defects: F5, etc..

    At the startup/power on you should see at the bottom of the screen either F2 or DELETE, go into Setup/Bios.

    See you soon.

  • Recently my 2008 Dell Inspiron 530 desktop decided to download the drivers for a floppy drive, which he did not. Trying to remove the drivers it just comes back. =(

    Remember - this is a public forum so never post private information such as numbers of mail or telephone!

    Ideas: I honestly have no idea where these persistent drivers came and am not techi enough to know where to go to fix this.

    • You have problems with programs
    • The error message only comes when I turn on the computer and I have to press f1 to continue because disk 0 loadout or something else does not, and it is becoming a real chore.
    • Recently, I stopped using windows update automatically cause I learned from a friend that I may be causing this problem and download the drivers, but I'm not sure it really the problem.
    • everything I tried like a hotfix removes the drivers, but they came right at the start.

    Hello
     
    Disconnect the card reader and start the computer to cross check if this is the origin of the problem. You can also connect to a different port and check the result.
     
    You can restore the computer to an earlier time when it worked very well for this problem. To do this, follow these steps.
    1. open the system restore by clicking the Start button, all programs, accessories, clicking System Tools, and then click System Restore.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
     
    For more information about system restore, see this link:

    I hope this helps.

  • Dell Inspiron (small desktop computer)

    History: 1 t hard drive, 12 GB Ram, processor 3.6. I've had the computer for about 1.5 months. I have recently upgraded to Windows 10 (which I actually like). Recently he has started acting fragmentary and I though that maybe she needed to restart. Reboot, it is immediately went to Dell diagnostics and self help screen. You go through the different suggestions and then restart. When the computer reboots, it passes through the diagnostic program, bring back me into the blue of self-help page.

    I'm writing this, it's being factory reset.

    My questions: why would I need to factory reset on a new computer. so should I approve this computer even once?

    Thank you for your comment.  I did a factory reset and since I was using chrome as my major browser once that I logged in that I got all of my information and bookmarks back.  I think because I disabled it, Internet Explorer both Windows 10 has been downloaded, the disabled program caused the problem.  This time I don't bother.  Only, I don't use IE (Microsoft edge or as it is called now).  On another note, I ran diagnostics and everything came back without error.

    Thanks again.

  • Does support windows windows vista after a factory reset on a Dell Inspiron 530

    I'll perform a factory reset and reset on my Dell Inspiron 530 which has windows Vista Home Premium installed. My question is will download all the drivers and software factory or update the system if windows does not support Vista? It's my first time doing this, and any advice will be appreciated. Thank you.

    Microsoft dropped support for all versions of IE prior to 11 and only allowed up to version 9 under Vista. Also, Google dropped Chrome support for this operating system. Office 2013/2016/Windows Live Essentials all do not support Windows Vista.

    Review the operating system at the end of life.

    Theres no official free upgrade path to TH2 10 Windows, however, you can use the unofficial 10130 upgrade path. The Inspiron 530 works on Windows 10 wells 64bits TH2.

  • RAM Dell Inspiron 530 (initially 3 GB of RAM with Vista 32-bit), can be upgraded to more than 4 GB, Windows 7 64-bit?

    I have a Dell Inspiron 530 with 3 GB of RAM, bought 4 years ago, with Windows Vista 32-bit.

    Since then, I've updated for Windows 7 64 bit PC and want to upgrade the RAM to 4 or 6 GB.

    Site Web of Dell indicates that memory on the Inspiron 530 is limited to 4 GB.  Is this true with Windows 64-bit?

    I thought that with 64-bit Windows, you could spend as long as could be installed in the 4 memory locations, well more than 4 GB of RAM.

    Can someone clarify the situation?

    Panzano

    Yes, it's the same motherboard, just a revised reference number.

    Better to open the case and check the label on the motherboard.

    Here is a list of the different revisions of the same motherboard part numbers

    Dell reference: RY007 0RY007 CN-0RY007 G679R 0G679R CN-0G679R RN474 0RN474 CN-0RN474 K216C 0K216C CN-0K216C GN723 0GN723 CN-0GN723
