• Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 failed drive and data recovery

  I own a HP Pavilion Media Center m8350f PC witch came with a 750 GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 internal hard drive model #ST3750630AS.  After about 3 months, the system didn't recognize the hard drive.  Having initially contacted HP tech support in December, they told me to send the PC to them for hard drive replacement.  They were unable to diagnose anything other that the drive had failed.  Yet I have to send it, because I know that the drive works, it's just that it is not recognized by my system.  I need a car access.  No replacement drive.

  I discovered recently, Seagate press release that they shipped a defective lot of readers with firmware.  In their initial press release, they stated:

  "We believe that the vast majority of customers are no disruption related to this issue, and that concerned readers can be used as is. But as part of our commitment to the satisfaction of the customer, Seagate offers a free upgrade of the firmware to respond proactively products likely to be affected. This new update fixes compatibility problems that have occurred with the download of the firmware provided on our Web site on 16 January. We regret any inconvenience that firmware problems have caused to our customers... " In the unlikely case where your drive is affected and you can not access your data, the data still resides on the disk and there is no data loss associated with this issue."

  Now that the real problem has been identified, what alternative support is available from HP at this topic?  HP will push their provider, Seagate, to extend this offer to the customers of HP?  Can HP unlock these discs?  The average consumer cannot ' of the Nations United-brick ' these readers with the new firmware and I guess, it's relatively easy for Seagate (i365) data recovery company to manage.

  Bottom line: based on my understanding of the problem, readers have not suffered loss of data, they are stuck in a 'busy' State and must be unlocked.  This is a critical point, because I believe that no one really cares to know if they get a new drive.  They want to only be able to access their data and awaken the drive is all it takes.

  My previous post was the original incorrect announcement of Seagate Barracuda chess.  The message I pasted was monitoring them upward.  The correct statement is below:

  "We offer free data recovery, because the drive information is not deleted. He's just made inaccessible by this suspect firmware,"spokesman of Seagate Michael Hall.

  Seagate said it has reissued the firmware originally proposed last Friday, saying: he has isolated the bug in the firmware in a "limited number of Barracuda 7200.11 hard drives with the SATA drives based on this platform of products, manufactured until December 2008. "In some circumstances, data on hard drives can become inaccessible to the user when the host system is powered on," Hall said.

  "Although we believe that the vast majority of customers are no disruption related to this issue, as part of our commitment to the satisfaction of the customer, Seagate offers a free upgrade of the firmware to respond proactively products likely to be affected", he added.

• Brand new XPS 8900 Win 10 won't turn on, flashes yellow 2 times power made a break of 7 times pauses then resumes.

  Brand new XPS 8900 Win 10 won't turn on, flashes yellow 2 times power made a break of 7 times pauses then resumes.

  I've not seen a chart explaining flashing power on the 8900 XPS button codes. And there is nothing in the Manual.

  You need to contact Dell tech support immediately. You have 21 days from the date of billing (no delivery date) to pick them up. And then you can order another.

  Otherwise, technical support should work with you to solve the problem under warranty on this system.

  If you are comfortable working inside the case, it is possible that something got its place potted during shipping. Then you can try reseating the RAM and PCI-e cards modules and cables between motherboard and drives and connection etc. Don't forget to read the instructions on the inside of your PC use in the manual before opening the case.

• Compatibility M.2 SanDisk SSD X 400 with new XPS 8900 and cloning issues

  I just got a new 8900 XPS running and ordered a Sandisk X 400 1 TB SATA III M.2 drive for her.  I know, adding that a PCIE SSD with adapter would be much faster.  But I'm not a gamer and concentrate more on edge backup and storage.  And the new Sandisk card gets good reviews and should give a nice speed boost.  This will be my first attempt at cloning of a new boot disk and install an SSD.  I went through the forum and found some good information.  A few questions...

  One of the sons said that an SSD with the B and M keys (like this one) may not work.  Searching the Web I found no comments from anyone who has tried this particular SSD in a new XPS desktop.  No compatibility issues?

  Another thread has been posted problems with starting the XPS 8900, when you add a new disk, but the updated BIOS to 2.1.3 seemed to be the solution.  I confirmed that my machine already has this version of BIOS.  Once again, any concerns?

  My plan is to clone again SSD in the computer using Acronis or other software, then set as the boot drive in BIOS.  Is there a reason to delete the operating system of the C: drive, thereafter, or can just stay as a backup if problems occur with the SSD?

  I have already installed a few programs including MSOffice 2007 and Windows Essentials, so I can use the machine, but otherwise it is always very clean.  When I do the clone will be these OK execution since the SSD without much messing around?  And they will have to be uninstalled from the HARD drive?

  Thank you!

  1 TB HARD DRIVE

  I'll answer some of my own questions.  The M400 Sandisk SSD drive arrived today and I found a screw M2x4 at Ace Hardware to install it with.  Installation was super simple.  I used a pair of pliers to hold the small screws in place and then a Jewelers screwdriver to fix it.

  He seemed to take more time for the first start that made me nervous, but all loaded without any problems.  I rebooted and that you press F2 to get into the BIOS and the new SSD was there!  And then let the computer loads Windows and checked Device Manager and it's still there!

  As expected the reader not yet appear in Windows because it was not formatted.  I used under Computer Management disk management to initialize the disk.  And now I have a new drive I: 935 GB free.

  So far so good.  Seems like the M400 Sandisk should work perfectly.

  Next step is to clone.  Always blazing new territory for me... when the drive is cloned it will remain I: or it will be C:?

• New XPS 8900, restarting itself

  Hello

  I just bought a new desktop XPS 8900 computer rendered 25/05/2016 and restarts itself.  No new hardware installed or the program with the exception of World of Warcraft and Ventrilo.   Just really started using this machine last week because I've been very busy after his arrival.

  I search the web and he says that he may be PSU related issue.  It's under warranty, but no idea why a new computer restarts it self?

  Thank you.

  Susan

  Windows 10?

  There are several reasons possible, hardware and software: PSU, RAM or HDD problem, overheating, corrupted the OS or other software...

  Just restart? All the errors on the screen? You can look in the Windows Event Viewer for errors at the time of an accident that could point you in the right direction.

  If you bought directly from Dell, I think you have 21 days from the date of the invoice (not delivery date) to return to contact Dell Tech Support as soon as POSSIBLE.

  If you got in a big box store, you can probably return/exchange it under whatever policy they have. So go.

  Whatever it is, don't forget to reset Windows to the factory image, before return you it.

• All new XPS 8900, card mother USB3.0 connector question

  Hello

  I just got my 8900 XPS nine this week, as a replacement for my Inspiron 530 s who died after 8 years of good service (my previous post on the Dell Community is older than 8 years...). This is the high-end with GTX 960, SSD, 2 TB HDD, 256 MB video card configuration.

  I have a little problem with it and would appreciate an outside opinion on this:

  Yesterday, I opened my 8900 XPS in order to add an additional HARD drive. In the process, I noticed that the hypothesis of fan 960 GTX is pressing firmly against the front, USB 3.0 cable, to the point of the plug is slightly flexed. In addition, the cable is slightly clogging the fan 960 GTX. I was a little displeased with this, as it's clearly inappropriate cable routing. Apart from that, all other cables inside the XPS 8900 are very neatly.

  I removed the GTX 960 (this is necessary in order to remove the HDD cage) and then realized that the façade, USB 3.0 cable is too short, and the plug is very wobbly. I tried to pull gently, to detach the cable and find a better way to move. It seems that the USB 3.0 (the light blue plastic part) is not attached to the motherboard! I noticed the fixing clip, and while pressing it, I lifted the CAP slightly (about 3mm). But decision-making would not unclip and come out as well as the plug. Fear of bending a PIN, I pushed the plug in and gave up trying to detach. Then, I installed the HARD drive and put everything back in, as it was.

  The computer works well. The two façades USB work normally (tested with an external drive USB 2.0). Given that I've already migrated all my data and started to use the computer, I would really dislike having to send it back just for that, unless the issue is a threat of failure in the future...

  My questions are the following:

  -Is it normal that the plastic of the motherboard USB 3.0 connector tip is just pressed (not glued to the motherboard)? If this is not the case, do you think that it has to be fixed or if I can live with it?

  -Do you think I can replace the cable USB-Panel, with a more long (is it standard?) and thus solve the problem for good?

  Thank you!!!

  On mine I disconnected the end of the motherboard and routed it bends 90 degrees and below the map.  To do this I had to unplug it and leave that he unplugged while I routed the flat cable.  Then insert a GTX960 and screwed the card holder in.  With the cable stuck the card in the back, I reconnected it into the motherboard.   I agree that this cable is too short.  Unfortunately, the motherboard connector is microscopic pines which are easily bent or broken.  While I did once, I wouldn't do it again.  This isn't a standard 20-pin connector of the Panel before USB3.

  Worse still, the photos DO NOT see THE real manual 8900 service within a 8900.

  The black usb cable into the blue micro 20 connector pins on the motherboard is not displayed in all images.

  

• Adding an SSD to a new XPS 8900 - the games begin

  I recently bought a new 8900 XPS of Costco. I bought an Intel SSD 240 GB 535 and wanted to use it as a boot drive and I was going to format and use the 1 TB came with the PC as a storage device. Initially, I cloned the drive OEM to the new SSD. This worked not so great - slow time - about 35 seconds of startup.

  I did a clean install of Windows 10 and tweaked the settings of the UEFI. Computer started without the OEM disc hung at this stage. Current start time is about 26 seconds. A little more than 18 seconds of playing with BIOS/UEFI. None of the changes to the BIOS seemed to make any changes. I was going to live with that, but I have 2 laptops to win 10 that are to start in 11 seconds and 8 seconds. I had just about everything responsible for appropriate programs.

  Then, I started with the hanging OEM drive and the boot SSD drive. I went to the OEM drive format and startup I'm met with screen ePSA error error Code 2000 - 0723 - hard disk - drive detected... (which apparently is not a code that recognizes Dell?) Continue to hit, I'm on the desktop. I already had the installed Intel SSD Toolbox and optimized the SSD drive. I did a quick diagnostic analysis on the SSD and it reported no problem.

  Restarted the PC and press F12 to run the tests in the Dell Diagnostics. I now see an error code 2000-0142. It indicates there is a hard drive with the new SSD failure. I have restart beyond the error message and make the Intel Full diagnostic Scan. Intel shows no problem. Hmm? I turn off the computer and unplug the SSD and starting on the OEM disk. I get the same screen ePSA that already displayed, press to continue and I'm at the office level. Reboot, then run tests, the hard drive now and it passes all other tests. I turned off the computer, removed the power cord, the CMOS battery and the power button. Back together and clear the log files. I'm met with the same screen ePSA error code 2000-0723.

  I have an another SSD - 240 GB of SanDisk. I unplug the drive OEM and plug Intel and SanDisk. I cloned the Intel on the SanDisk and only to the SanDisk card. Same screen ePSA opens, but now the diagnostics Dell passes all the tests. I run the Intel driver update utility, which displays no update. Device Manager displays all operational systems.

  If you have done so far, I appreciate it. :-)

  Questions-

  Reference Dell sees something he does not like with the Intel SSD, but Intel said it works fine. I could return it, but I think that there is nothing wrong with the hard drive. I don't know what to do next.

  How can I get rid of the warning of the ePSA? It appears little matter what hard drive boots.

  Is there an other BIOS/UEFI which is available? I've pretty much exhausted the changes and 18 seconds a looong time appears.

  Thank you!

  SSSANTI - good news! error code 2000-0723 has gone through an update of the bios dell version 2.1.3. Check the support page for the download file.

  A word of warning - update not gotten too smooth I would have thought. I ran the exe of the BIOS and let it do its thing - when he finished update, the computer is for restarts itself, and it seemed as he took in a loop - it would be marketing and then shout down before the splash screen. He made several times - I almost unplugged the machine. Finally, it starts at the start-up screen and then end the initialization up to windows - everything was fine. I rebooted a couple of times and even made a cold start to ensure there are no problems and everything seems OK.

  Disconnected a hard drive test, rebooted and no mistake - FINALLY comes

  FYI - it seems that it starts a little faster.

  Hope this bios update resolves your problem as well.

• Addition of 16GB to new XPS 8900

  Have not yet opened my new (just released) XPS8900. He ordered withb16GB of RAM and have ordered 16 more RAM for a total of 32 GB.

  My question is do I have to configure the GET first, the computer running, then installing the extra memory?  Or install additional memory before I ask first?

  Thanks in advance!

  It fits very well install RAM after the fact. The BIOS should detect the change and configure it accordingly. Windows can simply display a message about RAM and Windows Experience Index.

• XPS vs XPS 8900 8910

  I'm considering buying a 8910 XPS but I have concerns about the problems of heat and noise with the new case design based on messages in this forum. I see that Best Buy is still selling the old XPS 8900 with the oldest case. If I go with the 8910 XPS, I'd probably use the NVIDIA GTX 745Ti stock or 960 video. I would add a 512G SSD for my main hard drive.

  Someone at - it recommendations on the XPS vs 8900 8910?

  You might also consider an inexpensive slot fan who gets the power directly from the PSU. Hot air is vented to the rear of the case.

  This is just one example. There are many different brands and versions to choose so going around.  No idea how efficient they are or how much extra the noise they could add: I don't recommend - or not - recommend this particular fan or provider...

  EDIT: Many / most of these fans of housing have a power connector Molex 4 pin, if you'd also need an inexpensive SATA > power Molex adapter you can connect the Molex fan to one of spare SATA power on the power supply connectors.

• AHCI disabled on desktop XPS 8900

  I installed a new Samsung 500 gb SSD 850 EVO in my new XPS 8900 to my boot drive. When I select AHCI in the BIOS to work with my SSD, I get a message INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE. After some research, it seems that AHCI is disabled and only the RAID is available. In order to optimize my SSD, I need AHCI enabled. How do I do that?

  Here's a post on another forum-

  Activate the AHCI after installing Windows

  You can also do a search on Google for the words there are other methods involving the modification of the registry. You can also reinstall Windows and update the UEFI before you start the reinstallation.

• XPS 8900, use of Nvidia GTX 745

  Hello

  I bought a Dell XPS 8900 with a GTX 745. Should arrive this week.

  Will this DDR3 4 GB Dell OEM Nvidia GeForce GTX 745 c:

  NVIDIA GeForce GTX DVI out--> in--> #1 U2412M DVI DVI to DVI cable = 1920 x 1200

  NVIDIA GeForce GTX out HDMI--> HDMI / DVI--> #2 U2412M in DVI = 1920 x 1200

  Above config works with my old PC (see below).

  Can I add a #3 Monitor VGA input and 3 monitors at the same time?

  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  Old (and always reliable!) XPS 8100 with AMD 5450 can support this with my 2 x U2412M monitors:

  Reference Dell AMD 5450 out DVI--> in--> #1 U2412M DVI DVI to DVI cable = 1920 x 1200

  Reference Dell AMD 5450 out HDMI--> HDMI / DVI--> #2 U2412M in DVI = 1920 x 1200

  Confirmed to work with my new 8900 XPS:

  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745 out DVI--> in--> #1 U2412M DVI DVI to DVI cable = 1920 x 1200

  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745 output HDMI--> HDMI Cable DVI--> #2 U2412M in DVI = 1920 x 1200

  NVIDIA GeForce GTX 745 output VGA--> in--> #3 U2211H VGA VGA cable VGA = 1920 x 1080

  Note:

  I did a fresh install of Windows 10 Pro on an SSD that I added and to use.

  Assist support gives me an error "Primary Surface Test cannot operate" with more than one monitor. single monitor flickers during this test.

  It passes all THE tests brilliantly using one monitor with a DVI connection.

  I did more testing on different monitors.

  I guess it's a problem with Support Assist; I can provide more details on request.

  Happy with the purchase!

• Is XPS 8900 1 TB HDD to Samsung SSD upgrade - a sound plan?

  I'll be unboxing my new XPS 8900 this weekend containing a 1 to drive HARD and Windows 10.  My ultimate plan is to add/replace this with a SSD from Samsung 850 (probably a 1 TB) and have a clean install of Windows 10.  Based on this goal and what I've gathered online, my plan would be as follows:

  1. 8900 start and activate Windows 10 (for Microsoft servers recognize this license on my PC
  2. Create a bootable media Windows 10 (probably USB) MS direct downloads
  3. Download and install different drivers from the Dell website for 8900
  4. Install the SSD
  5. Perform the clean installation of Windows 10 for SSD using bootable USB; install the necessary drivers gathered in step 3.
  6. Re-enable windows 10 license with MS according to the needs (what is automatic as recorded in step 1?)
  7. Remove the original HARD disk or reformat for use as secondary drive

  Issues related to the:

  1. The flaws with this plan?
  2. Any reason, I can't do without various applications/utilities Dell coming more in this process?
  3. Any reason why I can't get all the required drivers via a combination of Windows (automatically) and manual downloads of the Dell site?
  4. A reason to keep the recovery on the original HARD disk partition?
  5. No reason to use Alternatively Samsung cloning feature instead of taking my steps above?

  Any thoughts would be most welcomed.

  Thank you!

  Hi Ronin777,

  Your plan sounds good to me. My personal preference in this situation would be a clean install of the operating system, but you also have the option to create a set of recovery discs or a USB flash drive and restore the image of Dell for the SSD. This would be certainly faster. Then you would still have the factory image for later use.

  Have the recovery partition on the original disc, for me, is not important because you have the recovery discs or flash drive.

• New XPS 13 (9333) noise Constant

  I recently got a new XPS 13 with the new haswell i7, 8 GB of RAM, 256 GB ssd and windows 8.1.

  I like much this laptop, but it makes a really weird noise. It happens constantly as soon as its power, sound like a high-pitched hum from somewhere under the keyboard. It seems also pretty inconsistent as she sparkles in frequency, and when you use programs (e.g. Navigate Web pages), it gets stronger.

  Can someone help me with what the issue is here? Any help appreciated.

  So here is my last update to this thread for as long as I can foresee.

  Currently, if you are looking to buy a laptop and taking into account the XPS 13, look elsewhere.

  I talked about this for 2 weeks now with different members of Dell technical and customer support. Let me Preface no matter what else I say beyond that point by saying that all the world that I spoke was courteous and respectful. I'm not knocking the person I spoke to everyone, but the experience of the customer service that I had always left me frustrated. Let me explain:

  My question is more that Dell continues to sell a broken product that they have no solution for, and as far as I know, do not know how to fix\when it will be fixed by. I went through two XPS 13 years last week that both have the problem of whining reel, even after asking specifically to send is not a second 13 XPS without having someone at Dell it check the problem before you send it to me. I ignored, and now I have two laptops, I don't want that I must return.

  The thing is, I was ready to forget about all that. Despite the headache so far, I'd give it a go with another XPS 13 as long as she was not the problem. There must be at least ONE XPS 13, which now produces Dell which is not bad, right? Nope. They couldn't even promise that they have one machine do not suffer from problem reel whining. However, they have no problem to continue selling their defective equipment hoping customer does not notice I guess.

  Whenever I asked about the status of a solution, I said something warm and fuzzy as ' engineers are working on it, but there is no ETA for a solution. " I can not get a concrete answer to anything. I understand there are some unknowns with any technical problem and that Dell can provide no answer with certainty at 100% on when a fix will be available. However, they gave me no information which reinforces the confidence that the problem is actually in the process of development and that a fix would never be published. When I described all my results of various experiments of troubleshooting and problems symptom, it seemed to be largely ignored as they gave me generic answers that were not really related to the conversation, I was trying to have with Dell. With the exception of one or two of the Tech I spoke too, most individual seemed to just shoot me the phone\chat or didn't really care to help me (and their company) solved the problem. It is not sure at all and does nothing to help me telling me that I should probably buy computers more of.

  Dell, this post is a wake up call. Your top-of-the-line laptop is broken, and you continue to sell everything, knowing that you cannot produce a computer laptop today that does not have the problem of lamenting of coil. I practically begged you to take my money and give me a phone works without problems, and you can not do even that. For the love of everyone here and your own, HARDWARE of YOUR DIFFICULTY!

• new drive HARD Seagate Barracuda not recognized in the BIOS

  Hello

  The Inspiron 530 desktop computer BIOS does not recognize my new HARD drive. It's a Seagate Barracuda 500 GB (ST3500413AS). I try to reinstall Vista, but installation can't find a drive with 3.9 GB. Wrong type of drive in the BIOS found, I think that.

  Tried several things, but no results: check the BIOS, but with automatic selection drive only to find a 4 GB (wrong type), updated the BIOS drive (now 1.0.18), tried several drivers with startup etc.

  Think I need a good driver, but on the site Web of Seagate, they say that there is no firmware for this drive.

  can someone help me?

  THX, David

  Thanks for all the support.

  It wasn't a problem with the SATA 3 or something like that, but the HARD drive was missing. There is no other choice. Come back with my HARD drive (and information) to the store and finally got a new. I hope that the other works :)

  THX and greetings
