  If so, D: is probably a recovery disk partition. This is where

• We think our computer to upgrade from Vista to Windows 8, but not sure if photoshop CS2 will still work? also how do I save it in a change because they say that I need to do a full clean instalation and I will lose all programs!

  Not sure how this forum works? Did anyone see my question?

  If you are in urgent need of help CS2 so my suggestion would be to avoid the upgrade to Windows 8 If you ran it on a Vista machine already.  It is likely to complicate things and you may end up with a system that is incapable of managing these old software.

  You should see also the following about CS2 - basically, regardless of the copy you have is not a useful for a new installation.

• I get a message saying startup disk is almost full and to delete files. How can I go about it?

  I have a macbook air and a message comes up saying that my boot drive is almost full and delete files to make more space. What files and where? Thank you.

  Buy an external hard drive if you do not already have one and migrate personal files, things like documents, music, photos, videos, stuff like that.  Once they are on the external hard drive, delete them from your computer.  You would remove them the same way you would remove any other thing - click it, right-click, select "Move to trash."  Delete nothing however, until you have moved to an external drive.  If you don't save a copy somewhere, once you remove them, it's over and you can't get it back.

  To understand what that other things that can be deleted are go up --> about this Mac--> storage.  This will tell you how many you have on your hard drive right now.  Post here a screenshot of it.

• Just upgraded my XPS 420 to Win 7 64 - but where are the drivers?

  As I said in the subject of my post, I finally get rid of this headache known as Vista and migrated to Windows 7 64 bit. The bundle of keyboard and bluetooth mouse (obviously) work on this XPS 420, however, that's about it. Although I was concerned by the prioir to connectivity to the installation of Win 7, I found that it wasn't the problem. In fact, the mouse is especially barely functional. It points, but that's all. Not cut and stick - no nothing. So I searched and searched the drivers for my keyboard and mouse set and were all that I find Vista 64-bit drivers that were not compatible with Win 7. I'm go to Logitech.com, the manufacturer of these devices, but had no luck here as well. So, does anyone have a suggestion as to where I can find the drivers for my XPS 420 computer?

  Mouse = UN733

  Keyboard = M/N: Y-RAQ-led2

  Thank you in advance!

  Try these here, I gathered the driver set not too long ago:

• PC warns me that iCloud storage is almost full every few minutes

  Hi all, I have a Dell Inspiron 10 Windows I use now because my Mac came out for running repairs. I installed iCloud on it, and now I get a notification in my system tray about every 5 minutes telling me that my iCloud storage is almost full. It's really annoying - the notification makes a hanging sound and forces me to close them myself. I can't find any way to stop these notifications without having to buy more storage, I don't want to do. Is there another way to stop? I have already uninstalled and reinstalled iCloud. Thank you.

  You can disable notifications for iCloud:

  Menu - settings - system - Notifications & Actions - start and then scroll down to "See the notifications of these apps,"

  Click on iCloud and you will have options to completely turn off the notifications, disable 'See the notification banners' or turn off the notification sound

• Backup impossible - Vista Ultimate, Dell XPS 420, WD 320 external (eSATA) drive - error 0 x 81000006 and 0 x 81000014

  Hello, I've had this problem for some time now, and it's very frustrating.  I can't save the disk correctly - there have been times that I've been able to do a full backup, but subsequent backups then failed, and other times, I can't yet do a full backup.

  I have a DELL XPS 420 PC, running Vista Ultimate.  I also have a 320 GB Western Digital external hard drive connected via eSATA.

  I had problems with backup from the beginning.  Previous suggestions have been to ensure that the drive is formatted in NTFS (it is) and to make sure that I am able to see the drive from the computer and access (I can).

  I got two different types of error messages:

  ================================
  Error message:

  The backup location cannot be found or is not valid. Check your backup settings and check your hardware configuration. (0 x 81000006)

  Backup time: 12-09-2009 01:05

  The backup location: My Book (z :))

  Error message:
  
  There is not enough space on your Windows drive to prepare for the backup of your files. At least 400 MB of free space is required to continue. (0 x 81000014)

  Backup time: 05/01/2010 18:38
  The backup location: My Book (z :))

  [Start over] [Settings] [Close]

  ==============================

  What could be the problem? What I might try?  Please let me know if I can provide any other information that might help.

  THANKS IN ADVANCE!

  Hey, Ronna,.

  Sorry I didn't saw this post earlier - I hope you were able to solve your problem.

  Here's what I figured out around miner (on mine - after hours and hours of research):

  The message 'no space' was more a message "no memory" for me - I understand that if I have a large number of open programs, that is causing the error.

  The other mistake, I was getting, it was simply that the external HD had stopped spinning - now, whenever it says backup failed because he could not find the hard drive I press the power button on the back of the drive (I have a MyBook Western Digital external hard drive 320), run it, and then it works fine.

  I hope this helps someone else.

• drive eSATA on XPS 420

  I recently bought a RAID battery external LaCie 2big Quadra to use among a few computers. This external RAID array has just 2 hard drives that I currently have in RAID 0. It can connect to a computer via USB, Firewire 400, Firewire 800 and eSATA. I need this because only my XPS eSATA and I need the eSATA write speed on my XPS while I occasionally have read data from USB on other computers. Read around, people say that the eSATA port is only intended to be used in RAID mode with an internal hard drive. This has never explained when I bought my XPS and he said that the eSATA port is for adding hard drives in the user manual. He said nothing about that only work in RAID. Read around, I also found people who had the chance with the Western Digital drives, get these work simply as another external hard drive only.

  I currently have a single hard drive inside my computer and I can't clear all information (Yes, critical information is saved on a USB hard drive). I want to use my LaCie external hard drive with eSATA port, but not in RAID mode with my internal hard drive. The LaCie is already a RAID 0 array. It seems that this can be done. Dell has announced the eSATA port as an eSATA port for adding hard disks capable external eSATA, do not set up a RAID array.

  As of now, when I plug in my XPS 420 via eSATA LaCie hard drive, he installed new drivers for the ATA Channel 1. and in the Device Manager, by looking at the properties of ATA Channel 1 shows that there are 2 devices supported on the channel. It must be LaCie hard drives, but... I do not see the partitions (I have 2 there right now) pop up in my computer.

  I am VERY surprised no one has mentioned this clearly in another thread.

  I decided to risk everything and go with my instinct.

  I tried to update my downloads page of the Intel ICH9 2 port Serial ATA Storage Controller 2 with drivers ICH9 SATA AHCI of the package on the computer XPS 420 Intel Matrix Storage Manager. After that, so I got a BSOD and my computer restarted. During the restart, even before taking the trouble to solve the problem of possible new driver, I created, I went into the BIOS to RAID Autodetect / ATA Mode of RAID for the hard drive I had in my computer. Vista booted up, installed new drivers for HDD and other IDE like my DVD - RW devices. and wamo, everything works. I plugged in my LaCie external hard drive via the eSATA port, and now I see it as a hard drive in my computer. It didn't remove this device as the eSATA is like having the external drive as a hard drive is internal.

  Now, when my computer starts, a new screen appears for a few seconds for the Matrix Storage Manager there. It says press Ctrl + I to set up RAID or RAID settings. I have just to leave the screen sitting there for 2-3 seconds and start as I always have.

  With RAID in BIOS, Vista will not even use the ICH9 SATA AHCI drivers, I tried to install, it installed new drivers, it automatically finds when Vista starts after turning on the RAID. So the solution to my problem was simply turn on RAID in the BIOS... which, as a side effect, light the eSATA port.

  So to be clear, you have a hard disk or several internal hard drives and uses a drive eSATA hard, but not in any RAID mode. You turn on the RAID in the BIOS, but simply never none of the drives set up RAID.

  I did have to reinstall Vista or whatever it is.

  NOTE: I have updated the BIOS version A03, A06 before doing any of this.

• Struggling micro does not work. Installed Chipset for Dell Xps 420. Has been upgraded from vista to 7 64-bit

  Whenever I plug a microphone, the microphone taken none appears on the recording tab devices in the sound settings.

  The audio jack works well and worked even without the chipset drivers.

  I tried to download realtek but I get an error that says no drivers supported.

  Hello

  I couldn't find an update for Windows 7 for your computer, which means that Dell has not all drivers for this OS on your computer XPS 420. However, there is a driver that is specific to Vista 64-bit, download here: http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/19/DriverDetails/Product/xps-420?driverId=4JDG5&osCode=WV64&fileId=2731098634&languageCode=EN&categoryId=AU .

  Another option to consider is to update your video driver to the latest version, download here: http://www.nvidia.com/object/win8-win7-winvista-64bit-320.18-whql-driver.html (it was released on 23 May). I suggest as an alternative as video drivers often include audio drivers as well.

  Those are the two pilots who appear to be more likely to adapt to your system, and if one or the other does not work you can restore the driver using the dialog of properties as follows:

  1. Go to control panel and click Device Manager.
  2. When that opens, click sound, video and game controllers.
  3. Select the audio driver / video, you have downloaded and installed.
  4. Right-click on the device and select Properties.
  5. When this window opens, go to the tab (on the top row) driver.
  6. Click the Driver Rollback button and left-click on it.
  7. Let Windows reinstall the older driver.
  8. Restart your computer.

  If all goes well, one of these fixes will take care of the problem. Keep me posted.

  Kind regards

• XPS 420 Fan upstairs with no start-up of the thread

  Hello world

  I have a Dell XPS 420 and whenever I turn it on, the fan goes really high, and Vista does not start. Sometimes I can turn it on normally, but this is rare, and most of the time the fan will continue at full power as soon as you push the button. I use a moment when the computer works for this, type that Vista has started today. I took the power supply cord and recovered many times and I turned off and turned it back several times too, but usually, it's the most unexpected times when it actually starts. If anyone else has had this problem or does anyone have a solution?

  1,3,4 lights if they stay on and get each time are not documented HERE the NOTES of the ADMIN: broken link has been removed from this post by Dell >

  in general, this means a motherboard failure. Since you say that you can get this to do several times, then I suggest this.

  Remove all external devices other than keyboard, mouse and monitor. try to start.

  If no change starts from within. remove all ram, cards, disconnect the readers. Press the powerbutton. Not all indications, listen to the beeps, watch the lights, look at the power button. the fact you are saying keep it blue indicates it is not a power supply problem.

  Now, we must reduce it to a component or the motherboard.

  Yes, I'm aware that the diagnostic lights sequence during startup. Its when they stop it is important.

• Can I download drivers for Dell XPS 420 girl (windows xp) on my computer (Dell Studio 17 Windows 7) on a cd instead of install on my computer?

  I done a clean install on Dell XPS 420 after a crash.  Windows XP works fine, but it continues to ask that drivers can be installed before I can get on my internet which is At & T DSL with external modem.  When I try to go on the internet, it gives me the error of pilots.  I had what I thought, it was the disk drivers that came with the computer, but when I installed and then it is still asking for the correct drivers.  I called At & t for their support and they said I needed drivers.  That's why I came to Microsoft to download the drivers on my Dell Studio 17 on a cd, so I can load them onto the computer Dell XPS 420.  I was afraid to install on my computer because my Windows 7 running.

  I don't know if I can load my Windows 7 and its drivers on the dell Xps 420.  It was a solution, I thought, but I'm not that computer from common sense to see if that might spoil the Dell XPS 420.   Any help would be appreciated.

  Using another computer, go to the Dell support website and search the Windows XP drivers for your specific model number. Using your Dell's Service tag number is the fastest way to get the correct drivers.

  If there is then Windows XP Download drivers into a folder (with subfolders named "Chipset", "LAN", "Audio", etc) on your hard drive and burn all files on a CD driver.

  Then, insert the CD into the computer XPS 420 and install all of the driver files, starting with the mother/chipset, SATA, Firewire card drivers (1394), LAN, Audio, etc, and so on.

• Dell XPS 420 with Vista Home Premium, replaced the hard drive, download now blue screen errors

  My girlfriend has a desktop Dell XPS 420 quit working a year or 2 ago. A computer technician told me that it sounded as if the hard drive was bad, recently I purchased from Dell, a Seagate 1 TB hard drive (the original is a Western Digital 320 GB).

  I bought also, once again from Dell, a copy of its installation discs for Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit.

  I installed the new hard drive, correctly, as far as I can tell, but I tried several times over the past days to install Vista and a few times I got errors (BSoD) STOP and a few other times, Windows Installer errors.

  What's wrong?

  I run Dell diagnostics that took almost a whole day, but I don't think anything. I have not partitioned the hard drive, it's like 931 GB.

  I think that may be something related to the RAM, but I'm not sure.

  Thanks for any help.
