• Replace the hard drive and OS re - install Inspiron One 2330

  Hello

  I had my all-in-one desktop Inspiron One 2330 for about 18 months.  I see serious problems with the hard disk, the system hangs, and the event log is full of HD playback errors.

  ePSA diagnosis shows code 200-0142 telling me to replace the hard drive.  The chkdsk utility runs and sometimes corrects problems and sometimes clean.  Such problems at low altitude, I'm surprised that I can start far enough away from launch internet explore and write this message.

  I called Dell support and they were kind enough kindness to send me the original floppy Windows 8.1 for the Inspiron 2330.  I have a disk hard solid state ready to install, and I saw a bunch of great videos from YouTube that explain how to open the case.  The HD swap is not a big deal, but I have a few basic questions.

  I know that many readers here know the answers.  Thanks in advance for help...

  1. If I install a blank HD in this installation media machine Dell recreates all of these crazy Dell partitions?  I have not of much use for them until I ran the diagnostic ePSA and it was extremely helpful.  I hope that you will tell me that if I do a fresh install, I get a new partition ePSA addition to 8.1 Windows on my replacement drive.

  2. I do not see why this machine won't support a SATA SSD SanDisk brand new instead the 1 TB hard drive that came with it.  Is it OK to use SSD drives in these Machines from Dell?

  3. have good links for the operating system Dell re - install procedure?  I will be installing Windows 8.1 on this drive.  Strangely I find no procedure to re - install step by step operating system.

  4. I have read that the activation key for Windows is now integrated into the motherboard of the machine somewhere.  Do I need to enter this key when I re-install?  I don't see all the stickers on my machine with the key.

  Thank you for your help,

  I finished the upgrade SSD in my Inspiron One 2330 with very little trouble.  Here are answers to the questions for those who find my post using original research.

  1. the Dell Windows 8 installation media disc does not any recovery disc partition, new, retail.  If you install fresh by booting from the DVD drive, you get a nice clean install of Windows 8 without any extras Dell.

  It seems that the diagnosis of ePSA is hosted on the motherboard of the system and not the hard drive.  I have had no trouble to boot in diagnostic mode to run tests of ePSA, even if I see any Dell diagnostic partitions.

  If you install fresh from Windows 8 media you definitely lose the Dell recovery partition.  No big loss.  It is a little strange to wait the software stored on the hard disk to help you recover problems with the same hard drive.  I'll just do another clean DVD media installation if this happens again.

  2. my SanDisk 256 Gb SSD is impressive.  It costs ~ $80 on Black Friday, and now my Dell Inspiron One 2330 boots in 9 seconds.  This is measured from fully powered down for the moment, I type my password to connect.  9 seconds - crazy fast.  Modernization of the best ever.

  3. my internet search found many useful message board posts, some web sites and blogs.  Unfortunately there is no official Dell Reinstall procedure that I could find.  The complete replacement of unplugging the power to see Windows 8 on the screen by using a new SSD was about 70 minutes.  I gathered the information I could find and guess the rest.  Worked for me.

  4 Windows 8 activation code is not necessary for a media of Dell Windows 8 re - install.  The installation process of Windows 8 should be reading the key out of the motherboard because I've never been invited to type one in.

  Here are a few other tidbits:

  5. the Dell Windows 8 media support I was sent by Dell wasn't Windows 8 and 8.1.  I spent more time pulling down of updates, restart and then installing Windows 8.1 on the app store that I did replace the hard drive.  Don't forget: some updates depend on other updates being present.  Really, you need to run the Windows update utility several times to get everything down.

  On the good side of things, my restarts are now long 9 seconds.  I have no problem whatsoever reset to any indication that the system needs to restart to complete the installation of an update.

  6. after obtaining my update to 8.1 Windows system, I installed all the latest drivers for the Inspiron One 2330, which could be downloaded from Dell.  This figure includes a BIOS update which has been a royal pain to apply.  To do this I had to create a start-up separated from 'BACK' USB key.  In fact, it is possible to create this rudimentary special boot using utilities downloaded from Dell drive.  Locate the "diagnostic Distribution Package (DDDP)".  Good luck with that.

  7 Dell backup and restore has been completely useless for the replacement of my SSD.  I have had two drives bootable USB thumb complete with full system backups, the backup restore and Dell refused to restore my data on my Virgin SSD drive.  The error message has complained that my new drive is too small.  It was laughable: my original hard drive was something like 95% of free space.

  8. There is a bonus in all this: by rebuilding your system using the original Windows 8 media, you get a nice fast machine without the excessive Dell bloat-ware.  I do miss the software pre-installed in all.  Glad to get rid of it in fact.

• Cannot read DVD on Inspiron One 2330

  I bought an Inspiron One 2330 in December and just tried to play a DVD without success.  If I put on a CD with pictures, it does not come to the top, but I can access all the photos if I open the file, but the CD does not come up on top of the office.

  I called the support Office and was informed that there is a software problem on a brand new computer.  Anyone know how I can fix the problem of grubbing-up of DVD on this computer?

  Okay, that's good. At least the drive works. Just need to understand why it will not play.

  What you need to do, is tell Windows what application plays your DVD movies. Click here for an explanation of how to set AutoPlay in Windows 8 options. When you get to the AutoPlay window, next to movies on DVD, you must select your DVD program. It could be something like PowerDVD.

  If you do not find a program to play DVDs on your computer, you can always try VLC Media Player (free). Works fine on Windows 8.

• Caching SSDS on Inspiron One 2330 turn on/off before/after backup Image C:

  My new Inspiron one 2330 works under 64-bit Windows 8 and SSD Caching-as put in place by DELL

  Before I run Acronis True Image 2013 to generate a backup Image of your hard drive, I need to disable the SSD Cache.
  Otherwise the restored Image cannot start successfully - because the content of the HARD drive would be incorrect.
  After the backup is completed and verified, I need to turn on SSD Caching.
  To do this, I want to insert a command-line command before / after the backup operation in the Acronis program options.

  So my Question is actually:
  What command line command (C: /...) can I use to make the switch or disable the Cache of 8 SSD 64-bit WIndows?

  Thank you!

  Hello Reinhard Klein,

  You can follow the steps below in order to dissociate the SSD cache:

  

  

  You can create an image with Acronis and then follow the steps below to reassociate SSD cache:

  

  Note: Dell has not tested or approve the use of Acronis True Image to create a backup of the image.

  I hope this helps.

• Inspiron One 2330 and VGA/HDIM entry port

  Hi all

  I'm about to buy a Dell Inspiron One 2330. I wonder if the video input port (VGA/HDMI), can be used without starting Windows 8. Some PC all-in-One (other suppliers) have this feature.

  I saw in the existing button configuration Guide "Input Source Select / widescreen" on the right panel.

  This allows to turn on the screen without using the "Power" button (and then without starting Windows 8)?

  Thanks in advance for your answers

  Kind regards

  Brice

  Hi Brice,.

  I'm sure that the answer is no. The system must be started so that the display shows an external image. I have some experience with the 27 a XPS and it's the same configuration.

  I'd like to see the system works as you describe. Be able to read a DVD or BD movie without starting Windows or an external video signal. If it's any consolation, the startup time in these all-in-one systems is remarkably fast.

• Dell Inspiron One 2330 AIO won't boot screen logo

  I tested new construction Insider look at window 10.  Everything worked and then Explorer froze and did not. I did a CTRL + ALT + DELETE and started the Task Manager to start Explorer.exe. But no reaction from the system in response to strikes. I was force to manually power off the machine.

  After that, now when I turn on the 2330 it turn on the fan internal and looking for the DVD player and goes to the screen of the Dell Logo just stays there. Stuck at the Logo screen. Start button / stop remains white. No matter what I'm doing, F2 and F12 while turning the power on, the computer does not respond. If I press the bar space a progress line comes under the logo and F12 will appear in the upper right. If I press F12 during this time, he doesn't think I'm for the start menu.  He's right there with the Dell Logo and it will stay like this for more than 24 hours or more, never a response.

  I unplugged the power cord and you press the power button for two minutes to discharge static electricity. It made no difference.

  It happened a day after my extended warranty expired. Last year I had this same problem and Dell sent a guy in my house with a new motherboard, which fixed the problem. Now a year later, my motherboard is dead again. And ideally for Dell, my warranty has elapsed the previous day, what is the problem with these motherboards? Why they keep breaking on me?

  Yes, it was the motherboard.  Dell tech came out and put a new in and everything works as it was before the MB has failed. Thank you rep Dell Rishi.

• Problems of artefact and video memory XPS 1710

  My XPS M1710 has been giving me some trouble at the end.

  I have some video artifacts: scattered multicolored on-screen points as soon as BIOS starts through Win XP and Ubuntu desktop computers. Also get random garbled multicolor text in command prompt console modes, BIOS, diagnosis and recovery. Points appear from the moment wherever my BIOS start, always in the same places, and increase in number as the system warms. This seems to be a clear sign of damage to the video memory.

  My hard drive also shows signs of damage: became an unmountable boot volume error. After running chkdsk partial (stopped at Midway after he had run 12 hours) and fixboot + fixmbr commands in the recovery console, I was able to boot win XP Pro again. But after a day of work, I got the blue screen with an error ntfs.sys. Now its been ntfs BSOD every time I start. CHKDSK now tells me that there is a fatal buffer on the hard drive, and I can't reinstall windows (ntfs format is freezing at 68%).

  My BIOS diagnostics said a few defective stamps on one of my RAM cards as well as on my hard drive. The diagnosis is also showing errors on the video memory test.

  My vid card is 256 MB geforce GO 7900 GS. I know the vid card also uses some of the main RAM (shared memory).

  I'm trying to figure out if the problem of video artifacts is due only to either damaged dedicated video memory or cause the main RAM / hard drive. Did the diagnostic test video memory for the memory on the video card itself?

  I know with certainty that one of the cards computer RAM is faulty: after removing the MEAC diagnosis clear memory for the other RAM card. But even with removed faulty RAM memory, video objects are still there and the diagnosis is still showing a video memory error. Logically, which seems to mean that the memory on the video card is partially fried as well. Am I correct to infer from this?

  would appreciate any pointers. Replacement of the HD and RAM is relatively expensive, but having to replace the graphics card on a XPS is pretty hefty ($299 second hand)... Although the graphics card could wait until I have save little money, since points are not that huge a problem yet.

  
  

• Thunderbird stops for one minute with the symbol of the waiting and then returns an error message on a script does not? CAUSED: By McAfee

  Thunderbird stops especially when you write a message, displays the circle waiting and finally back with a message on a script does not properly. The choices are stop script or continue, the choice is obviously stop. It's embarrassing, I have set up with the same problem with XP on Thunrderbird and on Firefox and supposed to with Win 8.1 this would go, I was wrong. It is a standard installation of you bird, have not had the problem again with F'fox.

  Thanks for the info, I intend to replace McAfee but looks, as norton may have the same problem or a similar problem and is probably what is causing issues with XP. E machine XP will disappear but will have to solve on the new machine.
  Once again thanks for the info.

  Hi Anthony,.

  Although that do not know what could be the cause, here are a few things you can try.

  1 see if turning off the background tension or lowlights helps solve the problem of synchronization. See the webcam of the help manual.

  2. lower the screen resolution. Reference: change your screen resolution

  3. install the latest version of the software of the webcam.

  You can get the software here:http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/download/DownloadResult.aspx?category=ICE&type=LifeCam&name=68A-00001&os=Win7_3264&lang=en
