I plan to replace my hard drive in a Dell Inspiron 6000, OS need?

I think that I searched on and found good info on replacing the hard drive itself and some of the "limits" of GB size/use... (137 GB)

He was my son (RIP), laptop and I would like to make it work again. Long gone are my CD of installation so I, guess I ask what operating system can or would be better? It's XP 2005... and how do I purchase/download. Is there an available bundle?
Intel Pentium M processor 740, 1 GB m... Thanks for any help, Don

 

The disk is probably not a problem when it comes to Windows 7 is. Problems with installing Windows 7 (material) are more likely to be the motherboard, processor, and memory. Software problems can also come to light.

If your old drive is now just a paperwieght, while the new drive must be of the same type as the original, i.e. SATA or PATA (IDE). I use 'black' all WD SATA disks where I can because of the 5-year warranty, but they cost more. I don't know if there is any PATA WD drives available now, or what the guarantee is if there are.

To install XP, you will need to use all media provided by Dell for this purpose, or contact Dell for replacements.

Without having to install XP to download and run the Windows 7/8 upgrade advisor you will need to allow hardware and software research yourself.

  • After replacing a hard drive

    I just replaced a hard drive on my pavilllion p6210f.  I need to know what to do next.  All I have is a 7 (64-bit) windows repair disc I made when I got the computer.  It did not come with any CD. What should I do next?

    You did just the repair disk or the recovery partion disk? The recovery partion disk should have 3 or 4 discs. Is where the installation discs are now, they are made from the recovery partition, saving money to have the discs are provided with all computers.  If this isn't the case, the only thing to do is go to drivers and support for your model page and hope they have the factory drives listed. You pay shipping.

  • Failure of hard drive on HP laptop DV 6000 Pavilion Windows XPsp3 OS - need help data recovery

    Failure of hard drive on HP laptop DV 6000 Pavilion - need help data recovery

    HP Pavilion DV 6108 NR, RG365UA, purchased late 2006 at best buy, with Windows XP, upgrade to Service Pack 3. It has a Fujitsu 60 GB HDD partitioned into C: and a D: Recovery.

    Windows tries to start, but goes to a blue screen with the message: "Unmountable Boot Volume" for a second, then just guard recycling until I force a shutdown.

    Phoenix BIOS, hard drive test result: "Fail #1-08".

    I ran a program to drive on the Cdrive analysis/recovery and it seems to show the directory structure intact, and he was able to recover some files. I used the free Seagate (which only retrieves the small files). The second pass only works so well and in the third set as the program says that I should not go further, and I need to contact a professional drive recovery company.

    However, drive D seems to be intact, so I wonder if the disc is damaged or just one aspect of the logical drive C is bad.

    How can I get the D: to run recovery on it software? The recovery discs, made by Best Buy, just proceed to the R / F / Q option screen, and when I press R, I get a blue screen every time.
    Pressing the F10 key at startup bothers me nowhere. Ditto the key F11.

    I don't like hard disk; This is the data (files, documents, images, etc.) that I want to.
    I contacted HP to order recovery disks, but they are no longer available for my computer.

    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

  • Replace all hard drives

    Hello

    I have two PS5000E without.  One is the production and the other is off site and contains only replicas.  I need to increase capacity on the SAN production so I will replace all 16 discs with 2 TB drives, and I also want to move the RAID level of 5 to 6.

    I only have not supported with Dell more so instead of borrow a San to a rep, I plan to use SAN offsite to help me with the process, and I'm ok with not having DR is not for the few days that it will take.  I have backups.

    I think my plan is healthy, but I would like to hear from an expert before I go ahead with it.  What I intend to do is:

    1. Save the config for the DR SAN
    2. Break replication
    3. Bring the DR SAN on site
    4. Attach a serial cable, turn on and run reset to restore the config factory
    5. Run Remote Setup Wizard to set up and attach it to the Group on the site
    6. Remove the Member on the site of the Group on the site
    7. Wait for data to be moved to the DR SAN
    8. Replace all hard drives in the on-site SAN
    9. Run Remote Setup Wizard to initialize and he join the band on the spot
    10. Remove the DR SAN of the Group on the site
    11. Wait for data to be moved to the square of SAN
    12. Run Remote Setup Wizard to initialize it
    13. Copy recorded in DR SAN configuration file and restore the original config
    14. Return of the DR SAN to its location off site
    15. Reenable replication

    I'm doing this right?  Is there an easier way?

    Looking forward to your answers.

    Curt

    Firstly, according to the firmware, if new readers are dell disks they will be rejected by the frimware.

    Two.  Assuming that the 2 TB drives are OK, there is a way more simple that does not require you to reconfigure your table of DR.

    Replication pause 1.).

    2.) stop of the table of DR.

    3.) table offf DR power, remove and package upward DR drives, but leave them on the DR site.

    4.) chassis Bring DR w/o readers to the main site.

    5.) cable chassis DR

    Stop 6) primary site servers.

    7.) stop of the main table.

    8.) remove readers of the main site of the chassis and install these drives in empty chassis of DR.

    9.) power return to the top and check it came OK online.

    10.) install new drives 2 TB in the main frame.

    11.) power up and add it to the main group.

    12.) add the 2 TB array in its own pool.

    13.) create the RAIDset RAID6 and let it complete the construction.   Make sure that all network ports are configured and upward.

    Fusion 14.) the pools and the data will start interlacing to the new Member.

    (15.) once you see data moves OK the new Member, select the 'old' member of the DR chassi and move this member to the temp pool.

    16.) once all data is migrated, reset the table of chassis DR.

    17.) remove the drive from the chassis DR.

    18.) frame to move to the site of DR.  Readers to back power and above.

    19.) re - enable replication

    Kind regards

  • Is it possible to replace the hard drive with an SSD? or would it be too expensive?

    Is it possible to replace the hard drive with an SSD?

    or would it be too expensive?

    Yes.  There are several alternatives.  I found a way relatively inexpensive, using a map of mSATA (very small SSD) and an adapter to connect it to the connector IDE 44 pin internal of my PowerBook.  It works very well.  Rather than repeat what I posted previously, you can watch these two topics (which also has good info, other users)

    I'm looking for a solution at least to 1 TB also. How about this:

    Is it really worth?

  • Problems with folder permissions after replacing the hard drive

    Recently, I replaced the hard drive on my mac.  Already before the replacement, I got the files that I had locked.  Now I'm unable to open the file.  I get the error "the folder 'nom_de_dossier' can not be opened because you don't have permission to see its content".  I looked at the permissions for the folder and everything he says is fetch.  I ran a command in the Terminal and for one of the records in question, that's what I see-

    Try this first:

    Start the mac all holding the SHIFT key, it is slow, connection, and then select Restart from the Apple menu.

    When this does not help:

    Reset password utility in the recovery Partition:

    1. Restart your computer from the recovery partition.
    2. Open disk utility and run a repair permissions on your boot volume (in ElCapitan click the first aid tab). Once this completed, close disk utility. We do this for good measure.
    3. Open a Terminal from the Utilities menu. Type in resetpassword and select your user (NOT administrator system/root) account in the menu drop-down.
    4. Click on the Reset button at the bottom of the window ACL section and Reset the folder permissions.
    5. Exit the utility password and return to the main recovery menu.
    6. On your keyboard, press + Q and restart your computer. It is very important that you don't hold down the power button to exit the recovery session, or the ACL Reset to occur.

  • Replacing the hard drive on my Portege A200

    Hi, I would like to replace the hard drive in my a200 with a bigger, but I don't know how to remove the current, just wondering if any of you guys could help me?

    Thank you james

    Hello James

    Unfortunately the A200 does not for me, but the concept is still the same. At first check if you can find coverage of HARD drive in the lower corner of your unit. If you can't find it from the outside as it comes to the very complicated situation. It is possible that the HARD drive is under the keyboard.

    If you have not many don't experience do it alone, because you can damage something, and the guarantee is no longer valid.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite M110 - how to replace the HARD drive?

    Need to replace my hard drive because the original is f & % $ ed.

    I tried to connect the original hard drive from my other laptop via a USB cable to Sata, but it does not appear. You can feel it spinning. I was able to do a test of HARD drive on it and it failed in the Toshiba via a bootable CD. Since I can access the drive HARD to get to the recovery section, which is the best way to reinstall windows XP on it, so I can use the original XP key on the bottom of the laptop. As I know that you usually have the right version or OEM windows copy in order to use certain keys.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Your ad is a little confusing... What HARD drive you use in what book now?

    If you want to install the OS on your old/new HARD drive, so you can use t a converter USB SATA. Therefore, use it as internal drive HARD.

    In addition, a HARD of Western Digital drive would be appropriate due SATA port. :)
