• Unable to boot Dell XPS computer l521x laptop

  Hello

  I recently updated my laptop DELL XPS 15 Windows Windows 8 to 10 L521x. After the upgrade it was running fine for 2 or 3 days until I got the BCD error during initialize to top and not be able to start the laptop below. Please note that I created the recovery for Windows 8 disk before upgrading Windows 10 and did not create any disk recovery for Windows 10.

  Recovery

  Your PC needs to be repaired

  The Boot Configuration data file contains no valid information for an operating system.

  File: \BCD

  Error code: 0xc0000098

  You will need to use the tools of recovery on your installation media. If you don't have any media (such as a disk or a USB support), contact your system administrator or the manufacturing of PC.

  Press ESC for UEFI firmware settings

  First thing to do is to power up, press F12 repeatedly and starting Dell Diagnostics from the menu that appears.  Run a test (NOT just fast) lying on the hard drive.  If you see errors such as 2000-0142, the drive must be replaced.

  If the drive passes Diagnostics extended, you can use your recovery media to restore the system to Windows 8 and then proceed to upgrade to 10 once more.  Make sure that you have a backup of all your data first, the recovery process will remove all data on the disk.

• Dell XPS 15 L502X restore Windows 10 to 8 - is not the disks

  A few months, I installed Windows 10 back on my XPS 15 L502X. It seemed OK, but a bit clunky. Now I'm sick of it. It is so much slower, freeze things upwards, the Start button does not work, it takes forever to connect, webcam does not always work etc, etc.

  So, I want to return Windows 8.1. In fact, I grew to love this OS. Problem is that I don't have the installation diskettes. I tried to get some via Dell website but it came to a bit of a dead end and I'm not sure if they will be provided after the expiration of the warranty.

  Also, I don't seem to have an activation code on the case - is a problem.

  Any help appreciated.

  Thank you

  Chris

  You can get Windows 8.1 by following the instructions here:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-Windows-8-1-retail-and-OEM-ISO/

  But the performance woes are likely due to the fact that you have made an initial upgrade installation. They always perform significantly worse. A clean install of Windows 10 TH2 will work much better:

• Desktop Dell XPS 8500 - Raid config does not

  All-

  I received my new 8500 a few weeks ago '' that came with only (1) 2 TB HARD drive which has been loaded with the W8.  For the last week or two, I was setup with additional drives / cables / etc.

  So now I have a 120 GB SSD that I use for the primary HARD drive I rebooted W8 on (due to the demand of the reinstallation discs) and also bought an identical 2 TB Seagate drive to set up a Raid 1 (mirror) configuration.

  So inside it is connected like this:

  SSD 120 (main OS drive) connected to the Sata port 0

  DVD player - connected to port Sata 1 (white block... "I think that his port 1 but on the bios, he said port 5?)

  2 TB HDD - connected to the Sata 2 port (second of the card)

  2 TB HDD - connected to the Sata 3 port (again on the second series of the map)

  I am eager to have both drives of 2 TB for the storage of data and when I record something on the first disc of 2 TB, I want that this mirror to the second disc of 2 TB for backups.  I want to keep the 120 GB SSD for just the OS and applications I can load later.

  Now, everything looks fine on the disk management.  I have my main drive C: (120 GB SSD) / one of my 2 TB like H: / and the other 2 TB in M:

  Everything has been initialized, configured, etc. under disk management (allocated all the space for the to 2 discs)

  So I read tons of discussions and documents online and I know how you go into the BIOS and change Sata from AHCI RAID option.  When I do this I select to save changes and exit, and the pc tries to start up... gets to the Dell Logo and then fails.  He opted for the stop and restart and new come to the same part and stops.  She continues to do so until I go into the BIOS and change back the settings of Raid AHCI save / quit and it starts right in the operating system?

  Not sure what the heck happens... any help would be greatly appreciated!  Thank you

  JackShack-

  Just wanted to report and let you know that everything was fine.  I've initialized, created a partition, did a quick format and everything is visible in 'My Computer' as expected.

  Before closing this thread, I just wanted to take your brain with some questions about the current configuration:

  1. whenever I have restart / reboot the pc, the RAID ROM or whatever the splash screen appears for a few seconds and I can't see where I configured my readers and everything looks good, then it goes into start the OS?  I guess it's normal to have the pc to start with this config RAID ROM because I configured the RAID parameters?

  2. in the BIOS to get the RAID set, I had to change settings such as "Secure Boot" (from activate to disable) and "Start Mode" (from UEFI to Legacy).  I guess these are the "required" settings for RAID work on the pc and I would like to leave them alone?

  3. when I boot up the OS and I go to the management of these two disks or workstation (1) only one of my drives of 2 TB arises (I know it is because I have RAID configured in RAID 1, so since it is mirroring its only showing a single disc.)  BUT how do I know in my mind that my data are successfully copy through two drives if only one shows?  I just take it for granted that everything is working as intended, or is it possible to see the data on both drives?  Just curious...

  In any case, I think that's it.  I just wanted to say with real sincerity that I really appreciate your patience and all your advice and guidance while trying to get RAID configured on this computer.

  Thanks again!

• Hello, I am trying to get my internal speakers to work. Device States drivers are missing, but no info on what brand and model they are.

  Hello, I am trying to get my internal speakers to work. They worked fine up until I had to repalce my hard drive. I finailly got all my drivers installed and updated on the site variouus.  Now, when I check my internal speakers (no system sounds) I can not find the make and model of them.  All I can identify is that I have.  That the drivers are missing. No part number for the company name, etc. is connected with the internal speakers.

  Thank you

  I don't know what you mean by getting the drivers from "various sites." The only place to get the drivers for the hardware that is installed with your Dimension is the Dell Web site.

  There is only one pilot audio for your Dimension 3000 and it's here:

  Of course if you added your own sound card you need get the drivers of the mftr site. but provided with your Dell printer's on the motherboard, and those are the drivers for it. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  Vista and Windows 7 updated drivers love then here's how update the most important.

  This is my generic how updates of appropriate driver:

  This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

  -Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system.
  For each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver,
  Description, version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
  http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

  For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
  Control Panel - device - Graphics Manager - note the brand and complete model
  your video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now, click on update
  Driver (this can do nothing as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then right-click.
  Uninstall - REBOOT it will refresh the driver stack.

  Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party
  with their own software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

  Now in the system manufacturer (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) site (in a restaurant), peripheral
  Site of the manufacturer (Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for
  BIOS, Chipset and software updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

  Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AD ADMIN - REBOOT after
  each installation.

  Always check in the Device Manager - drivers tab to be sure the version you actually install
  presents itself. This is because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (sound card drivers
  in particular that) so to install a driver - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat as
  necessary.

  Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW in the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER device - check
  manually by model.

  Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  get new manually if you wish.

• Trying to get the Brazilian keyboard work with Windows 7

  I just got a new computer with Windows 7, and I'm trying to get a Brazilian keyboard to work with her.  My old computer has XP, and this same keyboard worked fine.  I created another one for when I was using this keyboard, and he'd let me use all the keys (I don't remember what was the keyboard layout I used).

  When I try and configure it with Windows 7, however, there is no keyboard layout that corresponds to my layout.  ABNT and ABNT2 options are similar, and both are missing two key.  My keyboard has the-to the left of the z and the / right of;  Is there an error with the way Windows 7 has implemented one of these keyboards?  Thank you.

  I just bought a windows 7, but before the case was made I said guys from dell, I needed a computer with Brazilian keyboard. also i paid 50.00 dollars more and they have installed the software to change the language of the computer to the Portuguese. Here's the deal, professional window 7 or windows Ultimate edition, you will have the layout and language... to make it work perfectly. Now if you want to get the layout of the keyboard and language on the regular windows 7 all you have to do is go to microsoft.com and download it. hope it will be useful. you will need to find a way to use the keyboard, codes may be an exercise. but in a day or two, you'll discover. Remember to make all updates as soon as you buy a computer. After you set your PC and all new updates start popping up, just download each important updates. all this information was passed to buy me no one selling Dell.
