Inspiron 6000 new hard drive is not compatible with the old

I just bought a drive hard 2.5 "new for my Inspiron 6000, a Seagate Momentus 5400.4 (250 GB).  The interface does not seem compatible, unfortunately.

My computer is already more than 3 years old and I replace with a HD 2 years expansion, simply unplug the old, switching on the connector and plug the new. They must have changed the interface on the new readers!

My question: is it likely, I just need a different connector, or is the new HD totally incompatible?   I have this spec should I ask the manufacturer of HD in order to ensure that a new HD fits?

Thank you

  • New EarPods works do not correctly with the old iPhone

    Hi, someone I gifted their EarPods. I tried on my iPhone 4S running on iOS 7.0.4 but to my disappointment only left side is audible to all the sound elements of music to Siri. right side is silent, not even low noise at full volume. All other functions of the EarPods as 'change volume' and mike work correctly. But then I tried on my computer laptop Lenovoand they absolutely worked well! The two sides were also audible and clear. I tried again on my iPhone 4s, but the problem occurred again! Other headphones work fine with this iPhone. Now, I know that neither EarPods jack iPhone is damaged (or blocked), it isn't a software problem and also compatible with the iPhone 4S as claimed by Apple. I have now run out of options. Please help me. Thanks in advance. (I live in India, where there is no Apple store, so please don't recommend me to get replace them)

    If you don't insert them completely what you describe happen

    could be a cause of why it is not able to go all way

    1. you did not apply enough pressure

    2. something got into the connector and cause the connector not being able to go all the way in

    all headsets with headphones apple 3.5 mm minijack or otherwise, have always been able to work with any device I connected their ios device or laptop or the likes.

  • Old favorites are not compatible with the version 20 + Firefox

    General information:
    I use the old client version 3.6 given that an old utility addon author stopped update and will not work with the new revisions. Despite disabling the update featured on: config and in preferences, the browser refreshes still finished (initially I was using 3.4 and would prefer to use that, but no matter how I try I can is no longer cancel 3.6 to 3.4 even if I reinstall using an Installer 3.4). Accordingly, I had the habit of keeping a copy of my directory of firefox where it updates again without asking, she has. This could help the guy out to meet countless people who have lost their favorites because of the upgrade released this year and I hope that someone to investigate and release a patch/utility to fix the problem.

    Question:
    I checked that the most recent customer since at least version 20 and leave, are not compatible with the old bookmark JSON files. Those who have been upgraded to the latest revision not only lose their favorites, but cannot restore them either, as Firefox only returns the error message: "unable to process the Backup File.

    I confirmed that the files themselves are perfectly intact with no sign of corruption and are as expected. Restore ok old revisions of browser (in my case specifically 3.6), they will not restore the most recent customer reviews. This isn't a fault with bookmark backups, but with new clients (I guess they changed the way they store information in the JSONs at some point. I note in the code for the JSONs GUID has never been used in old revisions, but it is in the most recent revision. Maybe it's causing an incompatibility problem? You just need to adjust the client so that it looks for the GUID and if none can be found to ignore it rather than decide that the file is corrupted.

    Solution?
    In my case, I had a copy backup of the old directory for review. To restore I opened the copy and export bookmarks as an HTML, that I restored in the most recent client. If you don't have a copy of the former client, the best thing would be to try and re-install an older revision of the customer and either make a copy of the program folder and use another copy of that you can use the new and old customers and you worry about the loss of an older revision, since you'll always have 2 copies of the former client (the one you use the one that you use to restore in the case of at level). Or export bookmarks to an HTML element, and then upgrade the client to the newest and import the HTML instead of JSON files.

    Please review and create a more simple solution to a problem of stupid incompatibility. ^_^

    There are a number of operations in the file places.sqlite which are obsolete.
    For example,.

    setItemGUID (aItemId, aGUID) obsolete since Gecko 14.0 - returns a unique global identifier for the element. This is mainly for use by extensions that synchronize data between different profiles bookmark.



    Former id snippit:
    "title": "','id': 1,"dateAdded": 1306666129870000,"
    New snippit
    {"title": "","guid": "5rkFafJ6AnRZ",""id ": 1, 'index': 0, 'dateAdded': 1396387525168000"}

    There are other identifier here has changed, I think in version 14
    «Note: the importHTMLFromFileToFolder() method has been removed in Gecko 14.0 (14.0 Firefox / Thunderbird 14.0 / SeaMonkey 2.11).»

    But more likely the former is Netscape format: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libra.../aa753582%28VS.85%29.aspx

    I tried this however: I installed the old version (3.5) and updated to the current version. All my favorites were there. I had to check the updates and could not skip certain steps of 3.5 to 3.6 for example. He then went from 3.6 to 12, then with todays update went straight to 30. They're all here. However nothing is perfect, backup is recommended as well.

    Back to your question, makes it easier for backward compatibility, my hypothesis is that they changed with the updates and ignored some versions. Saved profiles or places.sqlite files may be missing this change because the format changes in the update?

    My suggestion would be filing a bug at this request, providing a few cases where this would be necessary. Currently only the current version of Firefox is supported, which can leave us to the work around that you are currently using.

  • Satellite M30x - new HARD drive does not work

    Hello.

    I am installing a new ATA 2.5 "internal hard drive for my Toshiba M30X-166. The drive is a Seagate Momentus 5400.3 120 GB model. The laptop does not recognize the disc and no related error message appears, and in the BIOS, it shows as "HD not available."

    I put this drive in an external USB - IDE enclosure and was detected by my desktop PC, and I was able to partition and format the Momentus, so I know the drive is indeed work, but my M30X still does not detect the drive.

    What can I do to make the laptop recognize this unit? The BIOS M30X is: Phoenix EAL20 version 1.90.

    Thanks for your help.

    Hello!

    Have you tried another HARD drive? The new HARD drive is may not compatible with the laptop or does work does not correctly.

    Normally, a 120 GB HARD drive should work because the laptop has a limitation of LBA 28 bits and so you can only use hard drives 120 GB.
    In the worst cases, the HARD disk on the motherboard controller is defective :(

    Good bye

  • Satellite Pro 2100 - new HARD drive is not booting

    Hello
    I wanted to update my SP2100 with a WD1200BEVE. (120 GB of WD).

    Copy of disk via USB + speakers worked, but after changing the disc nine does not start: the laptop hangs up with blinking cursor.
    Already checked that the partition is active and even a new installation from a CD of XP has the same result! The BIOS seems to accept the drive (if not installing via CD should have failed) so where is the problem?

    Any tips?

    Hi Kannengiesser,

    Which is really strange that you can t start up disk even it s recognized in BIOS correctly...

    You have the Toshiba Recovery disk? If so, you can try this disc factory settings. If it works, it was just an installation problem.

    But I couldn't imagine also that the new HARD drive is not working properly last week I had a similar problem. Made a HARD drive upgrade, but a few days later Windows didn't start because the HARD drive had a bad sector, now I'm waiting for a replacement drive.

  • Hello, my parents computer came RAM volume0 has failed and not be able to start. We went and brought a new hard drive, and its always say the same thing. Any ideas?

    Hello, my parents computer came RAM volume0 has failed and not be able to start. We went and brought a new hard drive, and its always say the same thing. Any ideas?

    A message on the RAID 0 volume failed is a recognizable error message, but the news is not good.

    RAID, by its nature, requires 2 or more drives.  RAID = redundant Bay of independent (or inexpensive) disks

    RAID 0 is the worst of the different RAID choices.  It increases the performance of hard disk by spreading or striping, data on two disks so that he can read and write more quickly. Unfortunately, such a picture offers no protection of data - in fact, it increases the chances of loss of data since the failure of a disk in the array results in the loss of all data on both drives. RAID 0 configurations are standard on high-end and PCs graphics games and provide a performance gain measurable, albeit modest for games, graphics applications and other programs intense from the hard drive.

    In view of the foregoing, the best course of action for you and your parents is to take the computer to a local computer professional - not a type of place BigBoxStoreUSA or GeekSquad.

  • HARD drive is not recognized on the Satellite 2800 200

    Hello

    First of all, I'm Dutch so I hope that I do not have too many mistakes in my English writing.

    I bought a 2800-200 Satellite at a friend's House. This laptop has a problem.
    When it is started is says "insert the disk in the drive system. Press a key when readya?.

    My bios is ACPI BIOS version 1.80
    In Pheripheral in Bios it says disc hard = not used Mode.

    On page two discs i/o: HARD drive: no drive.

    I tried two hard drives and the two were not working and not recognized in the BIOS.
    I have no CD of restoration.

    My questions:

    What kind of central computer has this laptop?
    Can someone help me with the recovery CD?
    What can I do to fix this?
    How can I change my BIOS so that the HARD drive is recognized?

    My hard drive is MK2023GAS and is not broken. There is nothing on this HARD drive.
    But also with the disk hard 10 GB of origin, I had the same problem.

    I hope you can help me and once again I apologize for my English.

    Hello

    I'll try to help you my friend.

    > When it is started is says "insert the disk in the drive system. Press any key when ready
    This message appeared on my laptop after the HARD disk is dead.
    I had to replace the HARD drive and reinstall the operating system.

    I guess that it of the same problem with your laptop. The HARD drive is not present or not recognized, and you will need to install a compatible HDD for the operation of the OS.

    I have google a bit and discovered that this laptop comes with the 10 GB HARD MK1016GAP of Toshiba drive. It supports the interface ATA-2/ATA-3/ATA-4/ATA-5.

    Please note that many BIOS have a limit of size of HARD drive. This means that not all HARD drive sizes are supported! I assume a 20 GB should be compatible, but this is just my own opinion
    > How can I change my BIOS so that the HARD drive is recognized?
    The BIOS can be modified outside the update (check page driver Toshiba-> Archive-> archive of Satellite).
    But vary important is that you use a compatible HARD drive.

    > Can someone help me with the recovery CD?
    Don t know if you will be able to order this CD at the service provider allowed in your country, because the laptop is really an oldie. But you should ask the guys.
    What you is to install the OS from the Microsoft CD-ROM and then could install drivers needed.

    Greetings

  • Hard drive is not recognized in the BIOS - Equium A60

    Hi hope someone can help. I have a Toshiba Equium EA60-173 and the hard drive is not recognized in the BIOS. When I remove the hard drive and put it in another laptop it is detected fine. I also tried another hard drive in the Toshiba and that does not work either. So I suspect the IDE controller has disappeared, but can I do to confirm this? I wish there was an option in the BIOS to force detection. I updated the BIOS but still the same.

    This laptop is only just out of warranty, so if it is the controller would I need to replace the motherboard? Are there other options at my disposal?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Neil,

    Unless there is some physical\problem with the cable/connector hard drive, then it is most likely that you will have a new mainboard for your laptop. I suggest you to contact an authorized service partner and ask them to check your laptop and give you an estimate of the cost of the repair. Then you can try to shop for less expensive alternatives.

    Kind regards

  • I'm told my iPod classic is not compatible with the latest version of iTunes and I need to buy a new iPod

    I have an iPod classic, 160GB, 2009 (I think that I bought in 2011, but they say it's a 2009 version).  I took good care of her, and it worked wonderfully for me.  Recently, with the latest updates of my OS, iTunes, etc. on my MacBook, I got the iPod synchronization problems.  This last time I tried, the iPod has not been recognized by iTunes, or it would be recognized and switch between connected and synchronization, but never go further.  Finally, if I left it long enough that, it would eventually be sync, but then he would go back and forth between sync synchronization, connected and finishing.  After leaving he did that for a while, he would finally come with an error message saying that the iPod could not be synchronized.  Then my iPod was erased at all to this subject (everything is always on my iTunes at least library).  I tried to restore my iPod, which she did, and then synchronize everything again.  He went through the process of synchronization, only to say in the end could not be synchronized.  Sometimes my iPod not even be recognized by iTunes.

    So I called Apple Support and they told me that my iPod software is not compatible with the iTunes software.  Both were up to date, so I think I 2.0.4 on my iPod and 12.3.2.35 on my iTunes.  Apple told me that I can't go back to an earlier version of the iPod software because I have no iPod backups on my iTunes.  Therefore they told me the only solution is to spend $ 400 on a new iPod, which I can't afford to do it, nor have you I feel it's a reasonable solution, since my iPod is perfectly good and I was very careful care of her.

    Is there anything that can be done to make the two compatible?  Can I download an older version of iTunes?  I'll be able to get my most recent iTunes library on the older iTunes?  Should not continue making it compatible, the iPod classic and iTunes since so many people use iPod classic, and they are the only thing like him around?

    I looked in the other forums on the topic, but nothing seems to talk about this compatibility problem and provide a solution.  Someone at - it ideas?  Can you manually manage your music on your iPod, even if the two are not "compatible"?

    Thank you!

    So I called Apple Support and they told me that my iPod software is not compatible with the iTunes software.

    Seriously...?  My 'classic' 3rd gen iPod in 2003 still works fine with the latest version of iTunes and the latest OS X.  Even the original iPod should still work (assuming the iPod itself still works).  Your iPod classic 2009 is certainly consistent.  That support the needs of the person coming back through training...

    When you connect it now, it seems in iTunes?  Are you able to select in iTunes, go to the settings screen, where you see the iPod photo and name in the upper left corner of the window and a box below that?
