New HDD for Dell Latitude C840 - Max size, type, spec?

Q1 I just bought a Dell Latitude C840 ex-entreprise less his hard drive. I intend to install a drive between 160 to 250 GB. However, I read on another forum that there is a (Bios? NBA?) up to 120 Gb limitation? This raises a few questions: -.

1 if I install a 160 GB drive it will work, but is not counted as 120 G?

2 is their a flash Bios upgrade (or current parameter change) to

permit more 120 GB drives?

Q2  I'm assuming that an IDE / ATA disk would be compatible. How about SATA?

Are there other issues should I be aware of?

Thanks in advance for your advice...

  • Need new HDD for my Satellite C855 1RL

    My drive hard internal is not read and was told that I need a new. Where can I buy a new HDD for a Satellite C855 1RL, and what kind of money it costs. I have the recovery disks

    Thank you

    You can buy new HARD drive in every store of the computer. What you need is 2.5 "SATA HDD.
    In my opinion you should now reflect on the upgrade and buy SSD that will offer more performance and make your laptop run much faster than before.

    Talk with your dealer ad pick up some useful information about the HDD and SSD upgrade Exchange.

  • Replacement for Dell Latitude E6230 HDD (hard drive)

    Hello.

    I need to replace my old HDD in Latitude E6230.

    I found in the store a 500 GB HARD drive model, but I need to be sure if it is compatible with my E6230.

    Seagate Momentus 5400.6 fact (ST9500325AS, PN: 9HH134-500) compatible with Dell Latitude E6230?

    Thanks in advance.

    Finally, I could say that 9mm HDDs are not compatible with Dell Latitude E6230.

    I have consulted with Dell service center and they have confirmed that only discs hard 7mm will work with E6230.

    After that, I tried again to install 9mm in my E6230, but failed.

    So, be very careful when you get answers here not from official representatives of the Dell!

  • New HDD for Dim 9200

    After 6 years faithful my 250 GB HARD drive makes weird noises. Before take a complete dump, I want to install a new one. I have a bigger, only comparable HARD disk. Not sure if there is always a 250 GB there. What is the correct procedure to install a new drive HARD boot-able with Dell reinstall WinXP pro sp2 disk. I read somewhere that the new HARD disk must be the same size, cache etc. I don't want to purchase a full retail version of XP, it is a spare office that I still use.

    Win XP Pro 32 bit OEM Dell

    If you have the labeled Dell reinstall Windows XP Pro drive, you already have the full version of this OS and it is not necessary to buy a new.  Dell has a page of links that guide you toward the restoration of your operating system here: Restoring or reinstalling Windows on a Dell computer.  You must use the fourth step, manual reinstallation, for a blank hard drive.  For a lot of additional information, you can also check the paper by forum member natakuc4, install clean windows.

    Restore a computer from scratch is a good thing for me, but it requires two to six hours to complete, depending on the number of requests and the amount of data, you need to restore.  Account, you may want to consider an application that allows you to clone your current drive to a new one.  Acronis True Image is one of those programs that must be purchased.  Depending on the brand of HDD, you buy, you may be able to download a free version of that or a similar, program.  Seagate and Western Digital have also a free version.  I am not sure about the features of the free version, but I know from experience that the commercial version of Acronis can adapt the present partition on your current hard drive to a larger partition on a new hard drive.  Cloning a disk usually requires less than 30 minutes, and the only thing you have to watch is to delete your old disk of the computer before you start the player cloned for the first time.  It avoids confusion on the drive letter assignment.  If you have a card reader, you must also disconnect it or turn it off in the configuration of the system before page starting in the new disk.

  • Audio driver for DELL Latitude

    Hello
    I just bought a used DELL Latitude (Intel Core, 4 GB Ram).
    Everything works, but there is a strange thing that I've never seen before: it is not the mic input. On the right side of the laptop I see that the output (the rose) but not the mic (the green one) input.
    So my question is: can I use any Usb Audio driver and save my music? My laptop will recognize that the pilot despite the existence is not the appropriate entry?
    Thank you very much!

    Most of the newer Latitudes will not have audio input lines, out alone, but certainly there are USB microphones which should work very well.  Answer with the model of the laptop if you wish and I double check to see if the system must have an audio online.

    TB

    I got to thinking about it more, and what I should have said initially, is that most latitudes will not have a separate audio input.  The Headphone Jack may be bidirectional however. So if you have an analog headset that has a single connection, the microphone should work correctly. Or you can use a digital headset or a microphone and connect via the USB port.  Yet once if you wish for me to check a second time please answer back with the model of your laptop.

    I have a problem that isn't really for this forum, but I ask you here.

    I installed a Kingston 120 GB SSD in my Dell Latitude D630, as well as the

    Laptop computer becomes faster. Now, I installed HD Sentinel and there is

    shown: performance: 80% health: 100%. It's a whole new SSD. And there is a text:

    The solid-state drive status is PERFECT. Problematic or weak sectors have not been found.
    The TRIM of the SSD feature is supported but disabled. It is recommended to upgrade the operating system, the drive controller or its driver to improve performance.
    Health is determined by the specific SSD S.M.A.R.T. attribute (s): #231 SSD life left

  • Cloned new HDD for Pavilion 1210.uk does not start

    I am new to the forum so Hi everyone.

    I just installed a new HDD (SATA) to my office. BIOS identiified unit correctly and I cloned using HDClone software. He succeeded with 0 read and write errors. All files are accessed through drive letter access. So far so good, I thought. I then tried to boot from the disc again by changing the BIOS boot order. Hoewver, when the trunk begins with the new PC HARD drive crashes with a white/black screen with the cursor blinking in the upper left corner. It is the logo of Microsoft and o/s linen starts (XP).

    Some additional information:

    * Old HARD drive still boots without problem with or without the new drive.

    * I changed the transfer rate of 3.0 GB to 1.5 GB being the SATA 2 drive. That made no difference, then changed back.

    I don't know what is wrong, someone has also experienced this or knows what is the problem?

    Thanks for reading.

    The cloned system was not built with PATA and SATA drivers.  This could be the problem. You still get the blinking cursor?  You can send an email to technical support HDClone and ask of PATA, SATA problem of cloning.

    I have a laptop Dell Latitude D620 with a CD RW/DVD-ROM drive.  I need to upgrade the drive to write to DVD-R media.  I spent much of today searching Dell parts and accessories to try to determine what he should order and have found it very confusing.  It seems that there is not a listed player expressly says that it is compatible with a D620.  There are readers who say they are compatible and D600 D610 and then there's a reader who says that it is compatible with a D630, but nothing for a D620.  One of these readers will work in a D620.

    As far as I know, the machine was delivered with 20 GB of HARD drive.
    After a long search I found a 100 GB HARD disk for this device.
    I think that there is a maximum size.
    Check this box:

    Also it is not very difficult to replace the HARD drive. On the site from the bottom of the laptop, you can find the cover of the HARD drive. You must remove it. As far as I know it s a single screw. Then you can remove safe HDD form Bay.
