Inspiron 620 RAID 1

bought an exact car/model/size of the disc that came with the existing system. I now have 2x1To sata drives. I went on the Disk Management snap-in, initialized disk 1 (new).

Disk 0 indicates the partition OEM 39 MB, GB 916,66 parition of OS (C :) and 14.81 GB RECOVERY partition. I know in Linux that I could just copy the partition table more new disc and create the table with mdadm.

On disc 1, I go to properties and there is no such thing as 'New mirror volume', and other raid (striped/split) options are grayed out.

I don't understand why I can't mirror disk 0 disk 1 and do with it. What gives?

I just did some research and apparently raid 1, family windows premium does not support, I have to fork over a bit of $$ to upgrade for the privilege of this. What a joke.

    Dell Inspiron 620/Vostro 260 NO Bios for AHCI

    Interestingly, I couldn't even update the bios without the INTEL drivers.

    Check in the Device Manager, the machine uses the ATA drivers not AHCI drivers

    AND will not install the INTEL RST drivers.

    Why is this?

    I tried to upgrade to the version of the Bios A04, but this made no difference.

    I did some research and discovered that the chipset in this system, the H61, simply does not support AHCI or RAID. There is no way to activate for a reason. :(

    Wish I had known this. The value of this system really went down the tube if you intend to launch an SSD in there.

  • Inspiron 620 - readers how?

    My inspiron 620 came with the 1 TB drive. I would like to put a small SSD drive in Ubuntu partition/Boot and add a 1 TB drive more and make the two sata drives RAID 1 (software raid) for the rest of the Ubuntu installation.

    My question is, how many readers I can connect in the 620 inspiron? If it does not support 3, what are my options?

    Hi ndizzle77,

    Good day and welcome to the community!

    Thanks for joining us. Inspiron 620 cannot contain only 2 maximum HDD. The option that we have is for you to install HDD and upward together in RAID 1. And you can make the partition on a single disc. For anything else, let me know. I'm happy to help.

    Thank you and best regards,

  • Inspiron 620 SSD upgrade is no longer support AHCI with Windows 10

    Hi all

    I had installed a Crucial SSD of CT256MX100 when you use Windows 7 without properly checking the parameters of AHCI and TRIM. This seemed to be working very well and providing very high throughput, however, upgrade to Windows 10 (from one day to the next... :/) there was a significant slowdown (20 second power to 4 minutes). After having looked around for a way to remedy this, I was unable to find the option AHCI in the BIOS for my Inspiron 620. It says in the manual of the system it is an option, an idea on how to activate it? Reinstall the OS?

    To all those who can offer constructive help, thanks in advance!

    I think you'll find these (which were the first latitude to support SATA) used a SATA to PATA Bridge chip - the controller is actually PATA, using a bridge to the SATA drive.  There is therefore, no AHCI option on them.

    The Dx30 models were the first with native SATA (and AHCI) support.

  • Removal of the hard drive on Inspiron 620?

    I must be really slow because I saw someone else asked this question, but how do I remove hard disks of the computer?  The online manual shows the years 620, which has a different configuration. This manual presents a tab on the cage of the hard disk that you push and then lift.  My 620 has no tab.  I pushed and pulled this thing in all directions without success.  I have removed the screws on the rails, but can not remove the individual unit either.

    Thanks for any help.

  • Inspiron 620, bad sound quality

    I have a desktop Dell Inspiron 620 under Windows 7 Home Premium.  I have Logitech LS21 speakers (S-00040) (L, R, and subwoofer). Until last week, the sound quality was very good.  Now, I'm getting poor quality, a little scrambled his no matter what I play: Pandora, CNN, music websites.  I swapped the speakers.  I've fiddled with settings of control panel of configuration/sounds.  I have uninstalled/reinstalled the sound cards. I've updated the sound card drivers, I plugged the speakers in the front and the audio jack.  All to nothing does not.  I probably have a hardware problem? Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

  • Inspiron 620 Hard Drive stuck in the cage

    I am upgrading an Inspiron 620-10 Windows.  I choose to do the upgrade on a new hard drive to preserve the original as a backup hard drive.  When I tried to remove the hard drive from its Assembly following the instructions (remove two screws and pull) I couldn't get out of the cage.  Something seems firmly hold the hard drive cage.  I removed the two screws to mount the material on the hard disk without success.  Currently I plan to install the new hard drive in the Tower, leaving the old unpowered hard drive but I would remove it to place it in an external USB enclosure.

    Any ideas as to what could be lock the hard drive in the case would be appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Its a super good nest.  What you do is get a pair of pliers and squeeze the ears of the inside of the rails and it will slide out as if nothing was ever wrong. (I'm assuming that you have removed the TWO screws before attempting to bend the ears) Using two hands and standing on the case and pulling the habit out.  I considered breaking the reader with a sled, but decided against it.

    Another question: it has been a LOONG while given that I have newly introduced a chip of RAM to a computer. Once I remove the old DIMM and add new and power the machine back on it, it automatically detects the change in RAM, or I have to go in this screen of settings?

    Yes, the memory is compatible with the Inspiron 620.

    Can I replace the motherboard with a 3rd party, in the same turn?

    The Council is a standard size but the front panel wiring is owner.  You will need to do a bit on the rewiring of fly or to replace the case.  Also note that stock heatsink from Dell that it does not fit in a spare parts advice - you will need a new if you change the jury.

    Another advantage: If you are replacing the card, you have more a Dell system, which means not activate Windows.   Budget for a copy in the Windows retail if you change the motherboard - you effectively build a new system.  Microsoft won't activate copies of Windows OEM on the boards of spare parts.

    Recommendations to replace the power supply, RAM, processor and video?

    Essentially, you can build a whole new system - if you take this route, reuse, keyboard, mouse, monitor and drives – everything (case, power supply, heater, fans and everything you want to update - is replaced).

  • Position of the jumpers pin on a MB from MIH61R Dell (Inspiron 620)

    I bought my wife a new Dell Inspiron 620. I was dusting from the inside and come off a jumper connector. It's a PIN of five (5) labeled PWRSW1 on the outside edge towards the end of the DIMM. The MB is a MIH61R. Can someone tell me the proper position for the rider on PWRSW1?

    Recently, I buy a Powercolor Radeon 7750 graphics card I have installed the drivers, uninstalled the current Intel Graphics driver from Device Manager and then install the new card.  I of course unplugged the PSU got rid of and left in power has failed to myself and plugged into the PCI-E.  After I tired to turn on but it does not start.  Fans begin to turn, including on the graphics card, but nothing comes up on the monitor and it won't start.  When I unplugged the 7750 card it starts very well?

    At first I thought that it was not powered ridiculously horrible 300w PSU they put so that I have upgraded to an a 450w.  Everything works with the new power supply installed without the card, but as soon as I plug the new map, he continues to not start as before installing the card.  I have searched and tried things for 2 days now and CAN NOT find a solution.  I know that the 620 does not access the menu of the BIOS under settings in advance who does not help (don't know why Dell would never think it was a good idea!) so I can't change anything in there.

    Please, any help would be fantastic!

    Thanks in advance!

    The card is a bad card.  There should be ZERO problems with the supply of the stock 305 w and a 7750.

  • Questions about upgrading the video card in the Inspiron 620

    Hey guys... I want to add a discrete graphics card to my new Dell Inspiron 620.  My power supply is rated at 300w.  Are there maps decent graphics that I could use that would be compatible with the 300w PSU?  Also, if I upgrade my diet as well, which could result in the cancellation of the guarantee I have on my new Dell?  Thanks in advance!

    Much here on the forums have used the HD 5670 on their units of 300 watt with no problems.

    By the table below, you can see that the HD 5670 is only set to 190 watts in charge for the entire system.   I think that the video card will do only about 50-60 watts in game situations and where the only game not only around 20 watts.
