On Dimension 4600 SATA controller compatible with SATA 3 Gb/s disks without jumpering?

Does anyone know if the on the Dimension 4600 SATA controller (I presume it's SATA 1.5 Gb/s) will work with the latest SATA 3 Gb/s disks without jumpering? I know that the discs themselves are backward compatible, BUT there has been some problems with the old controllers (these first generation SATA controllers include the following chipsets VT8237, VT8237R, VT6420, VT6421L, SIS760, SIS964) requiring jumpering, see:

http://wdc.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/wdc.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=1337

Bottom line, do I need a date or not? I heard that sometimes if the rider is not installed, the drive works fine for awhile and then has problems. I prefer to avoid this...

  • Dimension 4600 doesn't work with the new power supply

    Hi all

    I replaced the power supply in my 4600 today so he would welcome a Nvidia Geforce 7950GT AGP.

    The model is an integrator of Aerocool 500W 80 Plus Bronze. http://www.Amazon.co.UK/GP/product/B00JKVHKSU?

    The 4600 has two sockets on the motherboard. A 20 pin and 4 pin. The new power supply had a 24pin cable that I shared, so it became 20 + 4.

    It is not working properly. With all the connected cables (2 cables for the mobo) and 2 connectors molex to drive HARD and CD - R, there is a flashing orange light on the front of the computer and a green light on the motherboard. Some discs don't look, no noise. Nothing is on. If I remove the power cable from motherboard 4 pin POWER supply lights up and the fan from the CPU. There is no problem when I connect the old Dell 250w PSU back up.

    Some of the reviews on Amazon have said that some cable has been connected to wrong and only he re-wiring to work. I don't know if this applies to me? I took some pictures of the connectors. http://imgur.com/a/6m9pu

    Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions.

    Which SATA (I, II or III) is compatible with the dv7-6178us? Specification the SATA is backward compatible. This means that disks SSD SATA type will work in your notebook. The SSD will be made only to the level of specification SATA your SATA controller is capable of. If the controiller is SATA150 so your SSD SATA600 installed work bandwidth SATA150.

    What is the largest compatible SSD, or should I expect for the best performance? , You can install one with the largest capacity you can afford.  I would recommend not to install a larger than 512 GB. My own brand preferences are Intel, OCZ Technology, Samsung and SSD Crucial.  Purchase of the SSD in upgrade kit is the simplest solution. Upgrade kits come with a SATA to USB cable and cloning software making it a fairly simple process to upgrade the laptop. See the post-it that I wrote at the top of the section of portable equipment for some details on this. 

    What is the greatest player I can additionally ADD the SSD for storage? I recommend you not to install any disk hard legacy with a capacity greater than 1 terabyte. There is no guarantee that a superior who will work as expected.

    The following information is the maintenance guide & computer Support laptop dv7 to refers to the physical size of existing hard drives.

    6.35 cm (2.5 in) drives supports hard drives to 12.7 mm (. 50 inches), 9.5 mm (. 37-in) and thicknesses of 7.0 mm (. 28 - in)

  • Dimension 4600 power cords to connect two SATA HDs

    Dell Dimension 4600

    WD 160 GB SATA hard drive

    My hard drive crashed. Most of the important things was saved, but I want to get some files. CHKDSK is not conclusive. It may be a damaged disc or a damaged registry.

    I didn't want to take any chances, so I installed a new SATA 160 Gb HD and reinstalled Windows XP and Office 2003 on this drive. It works very well. Now I want to reinstall the hard drive as a slave and copy some files to a hard drive if possible.

    I have connected both hard drives to the motherboard with data cables, but the power cable is a little confusing.

    There is a P4 connector. This connector, there are THREE supply wires going to the following areas:

    P3 (end of the cable)

    P5 (end of the cable)

    P3 (middle of cable) connected to P5 (end of the cable) on the same cable

    The original HD was connected to the unique P3 (end).

    Now reconnect:

    the master at the same P3 (end) and the slave to the P5 (end) on SEPARATE cables

    or

    the master of the P3 (the middle one) and slave for the P5 (end) on the SAME cable

    or

    It does not matter

    I found a review for this laptop, so I don't know the specs. The first SATA III support for HP laptops are series Dv6-6000, Sandy Bridge, which is the second generation of Intel processors. It starts with Core iX-2XXX. Means that your laptop is certainly a SATA II one. I got it so I know for sure.

    Aparently this device is not compatible with Windows 7.

    I have one of those NASs with 2 SATA hard drives of 500 GB searched... I have all my music, movies, photos, and all of our backups of document on this device.  Because I have set up as a RAID array, I don't think I can remove the discs and put them in something to get my "stuff".  We used to use Win XP but recently upgraded both our machines to Win 7.

    If someone has been able to find a way to get to their stuff on one of those Linksys NAS200 devices without finding another WinXP machine somewhere?

    Hi Ken Mizell,

    If the device is not supported in Windows 7, you need to use a computer that is running Windows XP to move the data to a new storage device.

    Anyone know where I can get the driver windows 7 for the multimedia audio controller in a Dell dimension 4600 or at least tell me what I could find because it seems that the sound card is working but there is no driver for the multimedia audio controller so I have no sound, I asked dell and they couldn't help me.  I'd appreciate any help I can get.

    Here are the drivers for Windows 7 (x 32) for his Creative Labs SB0200 card.

    docs.google.com/.../Edit

    (1) extract the files from the link above

    (2) go to the Device Manager

    (3) right click on the sound card with drivers and select update drivers missing

    (4) find the drivers in the folder named "Creative SB Live! Series (WDM).

    (5) given that these were built for XP or 2000, you must ignore the warning messages.

    (6) TADAA!

    One problem is that I can't find the driver for the MIDI port or whatever.

    Not a problem because I don't need it and no other bad noticeable.

    Hello, I have a Dell Dimension 4600 older XP. The hard drive is dead and I replaced and then reloaded pack 1 with the intention of making all the revisions on the internet. The problem is that I cannot now connect to the internet via my broadband router directly connected to the computer. It seems that the wizard to connect only wants to use the dial upward and does not connect to the router. Just recompose. It seems to ignore the connection from the router to broadband and wants to use the dial upward only.

  • What can I do when Texas Instruments PCIxx12 Integrated FlashMedia Controller is not compatible with Windows 7?

    I have a gateway C - 140 X for a good 2 years and I find always the best of the class. The current version is Windows Vista Ultimate Edition.  The upgrade path should be got Windows 7 Ultimate, which, incidentally, should some sort of reduction but I understand he must make an economic profit.

    I ran the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor Beta .

    Report all gave his go-ahead, but one Texas Instruments PCIxx12 Integrated FlashMedia Controller by Texas Instruments Inc. device is not compatible with Windows 7. So I can't upgrade once the device is compatible.

    The obvious answer is to consult the website of the manufacturer of Texas Instruments or gateway OEM.
    The gateway OEM does not help because it has stopped supporting once he sold to MPC, which then went bankrupt while the drivers are available on the gateway site to download only for Windows Vista.
    Looking at the site of Texas Instrument is a maze leading to difficulty finding support on the device in question. I'll try to contact the support from them, but what do I do? I mean the device is able to run Vista and other Texas Instruments products are compatible but just the card reader.

    If you tell me to new contact the third party or the manufacturer's website, then I ask that you give me the link to the support or the driver.

    I tried to control the Windows 7 Compatibility Center , but it is not upward.

    I got it.

    After the upgrade from 32-bit Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit of Windows 7 Ultimate that required me to do a clean install. I prefer clean install because it is sure that everything works. Yet once I was pounded by an unmanned aircraft. In the hardware Manager, he has been shown as a mass storage controller. I forgot my card reader and more worried about trying to get the driver for the mass storage controller because it seemed important to something. Then I let down, but after a few days, I looked around the same instance in the forums which turns out be my card reader. I went back to the drivers from the website of the gateway for card reader Driver .

    I just installed the Vista driver and now it works. Everything on my computer now works with Windows 7 64 bit by going to manufacturers for devices. Broadcom Bluetooth.
    Wired and wireless from Intel.
    Mass of Intel storage.
    The rest was from Windows Update, check all out them.

    The only thing I feel crazy is that send to Onenote 2007 is not compatible with 64 bit OS and the strength to wait for the next version of Office for it to work.
