• Dell Inspiron 8200 + new HARD drive

  I bought a new hard drive for my Dell Inspiron 8200. But when I tried to install it I was faced with a problem. It seems that Seagate IDE 80 GB at 5400 RPM to the manufacturer S 9 1038-508 does not work with my laptop even if the sellers at the store assured me that it would work. As far I can see what the proplem that the pins on the HARD drive is not taking the laptop and the HARD drive box blocks 4 pins on the hard drive. But frankly say, I am surprised because the hard drive installed perfectly in 2 other laptops. He was spending money for nothing, or am I wrong?

  
  

• 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

  
  

• Dell Inspiron 3520 - hard drive failure - how to install Windows 8 on the new hard drive

  I bought Dell Inspiron 3520. My hard drive has stopped working completely. It was stated as dead hard drive by diagonstic center.

  I have now bought a new hard drive but have lost data and windows 8 preload on the original hard drive. Dell did not provide any recovery disk for Windows 8 pre-loaded on portable hard drive. How can I then install windows 8 / 10 on my new hard drive?

  The .iso image file official 10565 has only:

  • Overview of the House of insiders
  • Overview of the Insider Pro

  Unfortunately, there are 5 editions of Windows 10 and so 3 are missing. If your key is not automatically entered and accepted, it's probably a simple language edition or edition N.

  When Microsoft release 10586 - TH2 - 1511 Version they will probably have an .iso that contains all 5 editions in 1 .iso or alternatively 5 .isos distinct (I hope as the first case that it will make Windows installation much easier).

• Inspiron 15 3521. Media [Fail] error checking. I just got a new hard drive

  A few days ago my inspiron 15 3521 began to make a noise of rattling and says check media [fail]. So I got a new hard drive. I had the same error message. Trunk luggage, I changed the Boot Manager and put him at the top of the priority list. Dell told me to do. That's all. If you can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

  Hello

  Users faced with a similar question have managed to solve this problem by going to the third option in Windows Boot Manager in the UEFI boot menu. There, they performed the next step.

  (1) change option SATA to AHCI technology Rapid Store.

  (2) then when the Windows Boot Manager appears in the menu of UEFI, move Windows Boot Manager to the first position in the list.

  (3) then restore SATA technology Rapid Store.

  (4) exit & save settings.

  (5) reboot.

• Windows 'Easy Transfer' to new hard drive?

  I have a desktop computer Inspiron 530 with XP Pro and you need to install a new hard drive.
  My question is can I install the new hard drive in the empty under my old hard drive, plug it in and run Windows Easy Transfer directly from my old HDD to the new HDD? Then I could delete the old and move a normal nine until the slot C:\.
  Or, what I have to do it with an external media such as a USB device?

  Windows Easy Transfer can read files in Windows XP, but may not restore on Windows XP.  And no, you can't run it on a disk that is installed, but not on Windows.  Anyway, the answer is no.

• The new hard drive will interfere with user passwords?

  I replaced my hard drive on my Dell Inspiron (Windows Vista Home Basics).  The new drive will interfere with my user passwords?

  Mona

  Hello

  You do not say what user passwords you talk, after replacing the hard drive which will be then require you to reinstall the operating system

  If you refer to the online user passwords (Facebook, Twitter, etc.), they will remain the same.

  If you are referring to your Vista account permissions to access, with a new hard drive and you reinstall the operating system, you will need to put in place all the user accounts and passwords user again for them.

  See you soon.

• Cannot install Vista on the new hard drive

  original title: Please help!

  I have a dell laptop inspiron 1720, not the newest I know but it surfs the web. At least it used to. I had some sort of virus or something and my hard drive kept bluescreening on me. I said, well I want to do this thing faster and have more space anyway. Out a ram 1 g got 4g, out went the 120gig and got a 250. Went to reinstall dell support stuff and it went well. Then had my vista disk and started to install. Expanded files ok and everything. You all the way to the install tab end and nothing happens? Don't know what else to do? Any help would be great.

  Turns out I'm only semi retarded. My friend told me since I have a new hard drive, I would probably need to first load the driver for it. Then I got to the part when you choose a car and chose to load drivers. Of course I had to change discs in the middle of install and load a driver for the new hard drive and everything went smoothly after that.

• had to install the new hard drive, windows key does not

  My hard drive died in my Inspiron 660. I ordered a new hard drive and a recovery Dell USB key. A recovery key for Windows 8 pro based on my recommended by Dell service tag. I installed the new drive and used the recovery key to install Windows 8 pro. I then used a third-party tool to get the product key from the BIOS. The product key does not work. I wonder if the product key on the BIOS isn't for Windows 8, Windows 8 pro. If so, the wrong recovery key recommended by Dell.

  What should I do to activate Windows successfully?

  Secondly, on my old drive hard, I had upgraded to Windows 10 while he was a free upgrade. How to bring back the free update?

  Windows 8, Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 TH1 and TH2 had problems installing specific edition. Your key can be a simple language edition or one with Bing edition and therefore rejected by the installation of the edition of bad media.

  Windows 10 TH2 and later all the windows 8.x and 7 OEM keys are treated as Windows 10 keys. Edition installation specific issues have been fixed with Windows 10 RS1. The file .iso Windows 10 RS1 image is covering several editions. It contains all OEM editions and will automatically collect a key Windows 8/8.1/10 UEFI BIOS OEM System Locked Preinstallation and automatically installs the correct edition of Windows 10:

• How to reinstall it on the new hard drive

  Inspiron One my 2330 client hard disk is dead. Obviously, it will not be a recovery partition on the new HARD drive that I installed. Because the Microsoft Windows 8 activation key is embedded in the BIOS, how will I be able to activate the operating system if I install a DVD if there is no recovery logic to tell the installation routine where the key?

  Thank you!

  The product key is embedded in the UEFI BIOS. It will be automatically entered 10 TH2 Windows installation media. If you are prompted for a product key however then you have used the wrong edition of the the Windows 10 TH2 so must use Windows 10 TH2 only language:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/download-Windows-10-OEM-and-retail-ISO/

  Note Microsoft indicated the end date for the free update is in ~ 3 days, you will need to clean install Windows 10 TH2 and activating online before this date.

• Recover the Original of Windows 8 for the new HARD drive

  And further,

  1.) is it possible to reinstall windows for one SSD?

  2.) I get all venus applications (application of VGA, Audio application etc.) from Dell with my laptop with the re-installation of windows... ?

  Thank you

  If your system already has Windows installed and activated 10 follow my instructions here to directly download and reinstall clean Windows 10:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/a-clean-install-of-Windows-10/Windows-10-clean-reinstallation-via-bootable-USB-from-ISO/

  Looks like you're in this scenario.

  Note Windows 8.1 and Windows 10 editions are specific. If your system came with Windows 8.1/10 unilingual homepage, Windows 8.1/10 will not be activated.

  Unfortunately there is no clear marker for end users to determine the edition so my advise is to try first to try Windows 10 Home, if she does not activate Windows 10 unilingual homepage.

  Get a SSD for optimal performance.

  Dell have updated drivers for Windows 10 pilots (WT64a) system:

  See installing the driver recommended order:

  http://dellwindowsreinstallationguide.com/2015/09/27/driver-installation-order-Windows-10/

  If Windows 10 was not enabled you must reinstall Windows 8.1 and then upgrade. Follow my instructions here:

• Install Windows 7 on the new hard drive with USB operating system recovery?

  I have an Alienware 2015 15 which does not come with a CD player. I install a new hard drive (SSD 2280 m2), so the question is how to install WIndows 7.

  While Microsoft offers an OS IOS for WIndows 8 download that you can put on a USB (with dell, I think that it automatically pulls the product key of BONE off the coast of the motherboard?) this IOS download is not available for Windows 7.

  So the question is the recovery USB OS offered by dell will allow me to do a fresh install of Windows 7 on a new hard drive in the laptop even USB from recovery of the BONES came with. My last resort is to buy a new copy of windows 7 and a USB external CD/DVD drive.

  TLDR: OS Recovery USB offered by dell will install Windows 7 on a new hard drive.

  The factory restore USB will work on another drive. I did this procedure with the media created from the latest version of Dell backup and restore on my Inspiron 13 7347 and demonstrated the creation of media and installation on a new SSD:

  Since you are using use Alienware Alienware Respawn. Alienware respawn is very similar to Dell backup and restore.

• New hard drive; Restore System Image taken of the SAME computer Windows7: (RE-) ACTIVATION

  Daughter bought TWO IDENTICAL Windows7 Home, laptops Dell Inspiron, EACH WITH ITS OWN PRODUCT KEY. Was given a laptop to MOM as a gift. MOM's hard drive died later. Bought and installed a new hard drive with the same features in MOM's laptop. Used a picture of daughter portable computer system to restore Windows7 Home for MOM's laptop. Everything works perfectly. NOW WE WANT TO (RE) ACTIVATE Windows7 MOM home.

  I guess that (RE-) ACTIVATION must be done.

  QUESTION: Is it easier to enter the original product key to MOM which is a clone of Windows7 girl on MOM's cell phone, then do a normal activation?

  Thanks for your help.

  (While I have your attention, can you remind me what the path is to get to the place where I get the product key?) (Thank you.)

  Problem solved. Thank you.

  It was easy. When I went into the system on MOM's laptop he already said: "Windows is activated".

  Another question arises: the product key he showed, that must have been imported with the Image of the system taken mobile identical to daughter, had "OEM" in the middle of it. Does this mean that the product keys, use two laptops are actually some generic, common Dell product keys and NOT the product keys shown on the bottom of the respective laptops?

  A kind of activation of convenience for Dell customers?

  Thank you, again, for your help.
