Problems with the new XPS 8700 and upgrades...

Hello

I need help!

I just bought an XPS 8700 a week ago (maybe more).

It came with: pre installed with Windows 7 Pro, installation / upgrade disc for Windows 8 Pro

(Pentium 4790 16 GB RAM 4 GB Nvidia GTS 745 VC)

A few days after I ordered an ssd of m Cruscial 480 GB for her, with a WD 1 TB HARD drive.

My problem is centered around the M SSD.

The Crucial SSD of M IS compatible with this system?

I try to set it up and the system hangs.

I can't use ready boost, or it will be BSOD.

I want to load the OS on the SSD m and use the other 2 HDD as data drives.

My other question is: System running Windows 7, but comes with a Win 8 restore disc?

Its rights to licensed Windows Pro 8.1 with downgrade to Windows 7 Professional. You will need make the recovery using Dell backup media and restore your original disc. Theres no need to change the BIOS settings earlier.

After that, remove your hard drive and insert your mSATA SSD. Use the Dell backup and recovery USB to reinstall Windows on the mSATA SSD. Once you are satisfied with the installation of Windows on the drive mSATA remove it and insert the HARD drive, use DISKPART OWN while using your DVD of Windows 8.1. Then insert the mSATA SSD, Windows 7 starter and initialize the HARD disk, implemented as a data reader.

  • Problems with the new modem DSL and Linksys BEFSR41

    My Speedstream modem died and I had to buy a new modem.  At this time of year, it is difficult to find exactly what I wanted and I ended up buying a D-Link DSL - 2320-B.  I got the Linksys BEFSR41 (old version 1, I think) for years and it has always worked well.  I have problems to get an internet connection through the router.  With the modem connected directly to the network card, as now I have no connectivity problem.  I had to change the IP address on the Linksys BEFSR41 192.168.2.1, as the modem is 192.168.1.1, 192.168.0.1 as the old Speedstream.  I couldn't see a way to change the IP Address of the new D-Link.  I have my ICS TCP/IP set to auto obtain IP and DNS.  I was previously created for a fixed IP of * provided by the router.  Even with the setting on the router to "Obtain an IP address automatically", I can't to the internet with the router in the middle.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Your modem is a combination of the modem and the router. The problem occurs when you try to connect another router behind this configuration and end up having 2 servers dhcp and nat 2 (for port forwarding and other issues, creating in some cases where even branded products use ip addresses will clash and devices will not connect at all when him are interconnected).

    To avoid the situation described above, it is recommended that you enable the full Bridge mode on the modem / router that you currently connected to the internet and let your new wireless router controls all the functions within your local network and the internet connection (you must enter all the details in the new router, including Internet service provider username and password).

  • Problem with the new hardware wizard and PCI bridge PCI to PCI standard

    I have problems with VMware Fusion 2.0.2 on my MacBook Pro (Mac OS X 10.5.6).) The guest from Windows XP Pro (SP2) Found New Hardware Wizard keeps wanting to install a software for "PCI standard PCI to PCI bridge". I tried to do 'automatically' and "install from a specific location" using the Windows disk, the MacBook Pro and the Mac OS X disk.

  • Dependency problem with the new Blackberry Plugin for Eclipse

    I just encountered a problem with the new version of the JDE Eclipse Plugin. I set up my application project so that it uses two other projects such as libraries. Both of these projects are on the way to build Java in the settings of the application project, and the manufacturer Eclipse compiles without errors.

    But when I try to run on the Simulator, the application loader throws an Exception stating that it could not find one of the classes listed in library projects. Since it is the importation of first class in the main class, I guess that it was unable to find the entire library.

    I tried to have the application project to import the project two library, but nothing alx files has changed.

    In the old version of the Plugin, there is a property of the project "Blackberry project dependencies" or something like that, which should be set for library and rapc.exe projects and the simulator would be their. That went away, and I was told during Devcon now suffice to add libraries to the classpath. Apparently, this is not so for me.

    Can you give me an indication of what goes wrong?

    The problem seems to be that I imported my projects since the previous version of Eclipse plug-ins, Blackberry. I have now created a new workspace and new projects, completely maintaining the source files, and it works.

  • z index / layer of problems with the new YouTube widget!

    Hello!

    I am facing a problem with the new 'youtube' of social media widget. I currently have two layers in my projects. This is a project for which the menu scrolls initially and then sticks to the top of scrolling parallax. By continuing to scroll, the embedded YouTube video widget does not scroll under the menu as it should but scrolls through the menu. It's strange, as the YouTube widget was placed on level 1 and the menu is at level 2. Shouldn't the menu then always be on top? Only the new widget is not properly defined index-z?

    You can check my web project (and look at the code) here: http://www.firstlight.at

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    I managed to solve the problem, and I believe this to certainly be a bug in Muse...

    In order to avoid widgets Youtube iframed swim on top of all the other div tags, I had to change the code, add wmode = "transparent" and wmode = "Opaque" to the class of the iframe. This works if you replace all the other parameters behind the CBC "&" by "& amp"tag.

    Here's the original code generated by Muse. This could not prevent my "2nd layer" slip below "Layer 1".

    Makes the following changes to the code, forced the Youtube widget below all other div again (I pinned all changes to "BOLD", so you can see the changes easily):

    Ensure that you do not miss the following change: you need to change all of the vipers '&' to '& amp' this procedure will not work!

    After the new version, I'm sure the Adobe team is working hard to bust of bug last version. But I hope that we will be dismantled soon, otherwise users using the youtube widget will have to recode output Muse whenever we make a change and it is exactly what is the Muse striving to prevent (; After all, in Dreamweaver, you can hardcode the change and he would stick!

    I hope that it will be useful to someone!

    I'm working on a recent ' 30/09/2010' installation of OBIEE 11 g on a platform of Windows 32 - bit, with an instance of Oracle 11 for MDS database.

    I created a new RPD with the new admin tool and use Enterprise Manager to deploy (upload) and activate the changes. Just to be on the safe side, I also restarted everything.

  • I have a problem with the new administrator creating accounts and the original missing on the computer account.

    Original title: profile has been automatically removed, new profiles created automatically and can not open a session

    Help! I closed my laptop (only in the ordinary course of its use) and when I turned it back on, my usual user profile was gone and a couple of new ones have been created. One was created with my professional e-mail address as username (which is strange because I've never used this e-mail in the computer) and the other is empty. I tried to connect both of the profiles using my old combinations of the new user name and password, or user name and the old Word, but it is said that the account and the password is incorrect. I also tried to log on as an administrator, but it says "your account has been disabled. See system administrator. Is it possible to recover the data in the old profile without reinstalling Windows because I am away from home and do not have the disc. ... I use Windows 7.

    Thank you very much in advance for any help!
    You might be able to solve your problem using the system restore. Here's how it works:
    1. keep tapping F8 during the first phase of startup.
    2. select Repair from the menu.
    3. Select an administrator account, and then enter its password.
    4. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    5. set Windows to a point before this problem occurred.
    On questions of password-, I treat my PC as I have my house: I always have a spare admin account / SpareKey so that I can return new anything that happens. You have a fully tested alternative admin account? If you do not, and if the method above doesn't work, then, you have a major problem that you will not be able to resolve without a CD to repair Windows.
  • Minor problem with the New Installation of Windows 7 on my Inspiron E1705/9400 - two entries for "Base system device" under "Other devices" with yellow exclamation point

    Hello

    First of all, let me tell you about my system.   It is of a laptop Inspiron E1705/9400 with the Core 2 Duo T7400 processor clocked at 2.16 GHZ.   It has 2 GB of RAM and a hard drive on the Hitachi Travelstar nine 500 GB (7200 RPM).   It also has the GeForce Go 7900 GS video card.    Previously, it had Windows XP Professional (32 bit) and worked well.   But, I have three computers in my home and Home Office and would they work better together on my wired home network, so I'm upgrading all three to Windows 7.   My two desktops (a Dimension XPS 420 and the other Dimension XPS 430) seem like they will be no problem to upgrade to Windows 7.   But, this laptop was not on the list of Dell Windows 7 compatibility.   However, the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor that I have downloaded and run seemed to say that it was OK to do a clean install of Windows 7 32-bit and he had only a few minor issues, where it says search the drivers updated from the manufacturer.   Initially, the laptop came with a 100 GB hard drive.   For my use, which becomes very small, so I decided to get the exact same 7200 RPM drive 500 GB size.   This will allow me to do a clean install of the 32 bit Windows 7 OS on the new hard drive and not have to wipe the old disk to do so.   I can just keep the old HD and paste it back whenever I need to get something out of it.

    So, here's my minor problem.   After the transfer of some elements off the coast of the old hard drive, I installed the new 500 GB drive and installed a cleaning of the 32-bit version of Windows 7.    I'm happy to announce that I have not had virtually no problems with installation and everything seems to work fine.   He seems a little more zippy than before and I have not met so far that doesn't seem to work.   I went through most of features and almost everything is superb.   But there is a minor problem, showing in Device Manager.   At least, I think it's a minor problem, but maybe someone can give me feedback to know if she is or not.

    In the Device Manager list, there is a category called "other devices" now and the icon shows a little white circle with an exclamation mark.    When you expand this category, you see two identical entries that say "Base system device" and the icon has a yellow circle with an exclamation mark inside.     I know from experience that it is not a good thing to see items in the device manager that have a yellow circle with an exclamation point.   I clicked on both of them and neither one really tells you what the device is, or who did what is site you would go to a driver.    On the general tab, it has the following information:

    -Device type Other devices

    Reference of the manufacturer- Unknown

                         Location     -         Bus PCI 3, device 1, function 3


    Under device status, it says the following:

                           The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)

    There is no driver selected for the item or a set of device information

    To find a driver for this device, click Update driver.

    Each of the entries seem to be almost the same thing... but not exactly.   The other has the location

    list PCI Bus 3, device 1, function 2... instead of function 1.   This seems to be the only difference.

    I tried the button to update the driver, but that doesn't seem to work.   No matter if you say it looks like your

    computer or to look for a new driver from the internet, it does not find anything.     As I said at the beginning,

    the system seems to work very well... but, given that I don't know what this device is or does, I might be missing something.

    He drives me crazy just have these yellow circles with exclamation point hanging out in my device manager.

    I could really use some help here.    Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you

    Bryan Ray (Richmond, WILL)

    BTW, I just downloaded and installed the driver pack from this ftp location and it worked, even for Windows 8.1 - 64 bit.

  • Pavilion Elite HPE-170 t: problem with the new HP DH16D5S DVD ROM drive

    My office is a HP Pavilion Elite HPE-170 t.  I recently upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10.  I have two HP optical dirives, one is a writer, and the other is just a DVD ROM  Both have always worked perfectly with Windows 7.  After you have installed Windows 10 continuous burner work very well works correctly with autoplay.  However, the DVD - ROM, HP DH16D5S, immediately began using autoplay.  Actually the drive was not yet recognized as a drive when you view the drives in the file Explorer.  Finally, it would seem, sometimes taking also longer than 5 minutes or more before doing so and then would work very well.  I tried different types of media, including music CD, DVD video and DVD software with the same results.  I assumed that it was a problem with the drive, maybe a bad capacitor, etc., which was originally not start correctly.  So I ordered a new DH160D5S, but which seems to have been a waste of time and money, because it does exactly the same thing as the original.  I even changed the cables autour between it and the burner, but it made no difference.  The burner still works fine but not DVD ROM.  I tried to find a more recent driver for it, but had no chance.  I found on a Dell website for this drive which was an update of the firmware for Windows Vista and Windows 7, but not for Windows 10.  I advanced and downloaded, but when I tried to run, I got the message: "your system does not meet the minimum requirements for this update.  Update has been canceled. »

    I want to try a different brand of DVD ROM, but would have to buy one without knowing if it would help.

    Any help will be appreciated.

    Since I posted this message I discovered that there is a driver problem with this DVD ROM.  There's no driver available yet to make the drive compatible with Windows 10.  Since then, I returned the drive and replaced by another brand that is compatible with Windows 10.

    The site is authentic.  You have two options when you do your relocation:

    Method 1

    1. Download SP3 form the Microsoft site and burn it to a cd or copy it to a flash drive.
    2. Reinstall Windows with your original Windows XP CD.
    3. Use the copy of SP3 that you burned on the CD or copied to the flash drive and update the machine to SP3.  Note that if you have an original CD of 'gold' of Windows XP without service pack that you install SP1a or SP2 before you install SP3, SP2 is available here , download and save it with SP3 before making your relocation.

    Method 2

    1. Download SP3 from the Microsoft site and it wake to your Windows XP CD.
    2. Install Windows XP with your slipstreamed CD and your installation will be in SP3, when installation is complete you will not need to install service packs, you'll just have to do some other updates that have been released after SP3.

    The http://lifehacker.com/386526/slipstream-service-pack-3-into-your-windows-xp-installation-cd is legitimate, it only gives you instructions on how to create and burn a CD of SP3 slipstreamed Windows XP.  If this seems too daunting then use method 1 to install Windows.

    Both methods are very good but method 2 allows a nicer cleaner installation, everything is installed to SP3 level and there are no remnants of previous service packs.  While creating the slipstreamed CD may appear to be a time consuming task, in the end, it will be a time saver and afterwards if you ever have problems with the installation of Windows you may need this cd SP3 slipstreamed to all repairs on the installation.  You can create the SP3 cd now and do it ready and at hand for future needs.
