  • reinstalled xp pro on a dell inspiron 1100 laptop, are unable to open a session, says no modem found copde 62 and 63. .Mike

    I reinstalled xp on dell inspiron 1100, could not get to connect wireless or ethernet.  It said no modem error #62 and 63 error no modem not found, I had xp pro edition before but now have xp base, you can help me find the modem can also get DVDs to play, without a decoder.   Thank you, mike

    Hello

    Follow these steps and check if the problem persists.

    I suggest you to reinstall modem drivers:

    (a) go to the manufacturer website and download the drivers. This will
    usually come as a zip file or installation program.

    (b) if its an installation program, run it. No need to go further.

    (c) if it is a zip file, unzip all the files in a temporary directory.

    (d) right click on my computer, then select Properties > | material | > Device of
    Manager.

    (e) to locate the modem on your equipment list. It could be among the "pci
    device communication "or similar.

    (f) right click the icon and select get updated driver.

    (g) install from a specific location and follow the instructions of the wizard through. Specify
    where you unzipped the files. Some create additional records
    decompression so you will look for an INF.

    (h) proceed to configure the modem in the properties applet, phone and modem in the
    Control Panel and verify that your settings are correct.

  • How to do a clean install of Windows 7 on Dell Inspiron 7520 (aka Inspiron 15R Special Edition)

    The operating system that are preloaded on my Dell Inspiron 7520 (a.ka. Inspiron 15R Special Edition) is Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium. I have a retail version of Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate and want to do a clean install on my laptop.

    My laptop was able to boot from the retail disk.

    After clicking on 'Install now' and accepted the terms and conditions of Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate, I checked the configuration box "Custom (advanced option" in which a new copy of Windows would be installed. The next screen that displayed contained the following bizzare message: no hard drive found. "Click on load a driver to provide a driver for installing mass storage.

    Could someone tell me where and how to find the mass storage driver?

    I am also having exactly the same problem:

    After getting BSOD (indicating iaStor.sys) every 20 minutes or so I decided to format the laptop and install my copy of opportunity of Win7 Pro SP1. I jumped in the Win7 DVD and I saw that the couldn t of windows setup find any HARD drive to install to.

    I downloaded the drivers from Intel (f6flpy - x 64) and them burned on a CD. It took me a few tries (I kept getting error messages), but the computer finally accepted Intel Mobile Express Chipset SATA RAID Controller drivers.

    Finally, I could see the readers. So I deleted the partition of 1 TB, created two new partitions (~ 100 GB and GB 890) and clicked on 'format' on two of them.

    But when I tried to select ONE of them as the destination for Windows drive, I received the following message:

    "Windows cannot be installed to Disk 0 Partition 3. Details: Windows cannot install to the selected location. "Error 0 x 80300001.

    So now when I turn on my laptop (since there is no operating system or anything), I get a black screen with the following message:

    Windows Boot Manager «»

    Windows could not start; A recent hardware or software change might be the cause. To solve the problem:

    blablabla (nothing really useful)

    Status: 0xc0000034

    Info: an unexpected error occurred. »

    Before I read this thread I also tried to change the SATA settings to AHCI and ATA, but both STILL produce ANOTHER problem: installing Windows recognises the hard drives, but it never rose from 0% of the phase of "expanding files" installation.

    Please, can anyone help?

    I have a computer laptop inspiron 1501 and it came with Vista Home Basic.  I like better XP and wondering if I have an installation on my computer, I have an XP installation disc.  If I can, how to do it all?

    Hello

    You will be able to install Windows Xp on your computer, but you will need to perform a clean installation.

    Before installing Windows XP. And also, you will have to take up the data in your computer, because the new facility will remove all data into the computer.

    Download the driver from the support of dell at the following link:

  • Power supply Dell Inspiron 570 factory

    New to computers and need help! I need to know what food was pre-installed on my computer. Dell Inspiron 570 [Amin Note: Service Tag published by policy TOU] [Admin NOTE: deleted in accordance with the Express service code TOU strategy], MFG date: 20120522.  "PLEASE" reason why is I think he was traded to the shop nobody working on it. I bought two 570's at the same time, a failed hard drive that's happened and on computer receiving it not light. I noticed hard drive was in the other unsecured location and power cords would not get to the place of original cut, leaving hard drive disassembled or secured. 'Question', dell has a power supply factory for Inspiron 570 with a Bestec model: atx-300-12z rev. EDI I am an honest person and don't want to fight someone accusing them of something without some facts to make the right assumptions. I have both 570's I bought new next door and power supplies are completely different. Any help would be greatly appreciated before acting on my assumptions, please any help or comments!

    Normally OEM may go through a number of manufactured goods for power supplies because they are designed to be cheap and just doesn't.  No matter which Bestec is a Dell uses from what I remember of my old computers (nothing more that uses an internal power supply).  If he was traded there would have been one Bestec to another which would be weird because the OEM power supplies are nothing to steal.

  • Problem activating Windows XP Pro on a Dell Dimension 4600, which originally had XP Home

    I have some difficulty to activate MY PERSONALLY PURCHASED VERSION of Windows XP Pro on a Dell Dimension 4600 workstation that initially provided with XP Home.  I have TWO Codes of 25 character key true = 1 The printed on the sticker on the computer AND the one supplied with the disk I bought for my laptop that was stolen last week.  I entered two key during the windows process codes activate and they the system tells me invalid or incorrect product key code.  I WAS talking with a Microsoft Tech Rep on the phone trying to solve this problem and has been disconnected when put on "Hold" and now cannot get through to a real person again.  CAN SOMEONE ' ONE/SOMEONE' HELP ME PLEASE?

    Hello

    Both your XP, the laptop and the Dell operating systems will have been oem licenses. OEM licenses are tied to the computer that they were originally installed on. In regards to the Pro license you can see in your report where is says Windows license Type: OEM System Builder.

    The only XP version that can be legally charged to your Dimension is one that has been provided with it by Dell, i.e. the XP Home license.

    activation of character for home 25 codes do not work with the Pro, the reverse is also true.

  • Error installing XP Pro STOP 0x000007E ACPI.sys

    Trying to install XP Pro from the CD on a Dell Studio laptop Intel core I7 processor.  This will be a second OS in a separate partition so that I can run some 32-bit programs that will not work under XP virtualized.  When during the installation, I get the BSD with messages:

    STOP 0X000007E (0XC0000005, 0XF73D2452, 0XF78D9ED4, 0XF78D9BD4)

    ACPI.sys address F73D2452 Base at F73C7000, time stamp 3B7D8550

    You may also turn on ACPI in the BIOS settings - if it is already enabled, you can try to disable it and test.

    You can also try to disable all non-essential devices from the computer and test.

    As the article mentioned by Divya says, try to update your BIOS as well.

    If the options above do not help, you may have a defective hardware. Try to run hardware diagnostics and verification of your RAM. Check with your manufacturer for the hardware diagnostic programs.

    WARNING: Changing the BIOS settings can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the configuration of the BIOS settings can be solved. Changes to settings are at your own risk.
