RAID 3 TB in Inspiron 530, disks appear as Go 746,5

Hi, wasn't sure if it was better in the office forum or here in readers, but they are more obscure than readers PC, so maybe someone else has experienced.

I have an inspiron 530, nice litlle q6600 box.

I picked up a few drives 3 TB who intend to implement raid1.

The I tried one of the discs first in win7 and it worked fine, all 3 to is perceived.

I go into the bios and switch to the raid, it goes in the Intel Matrix Storage Manager option Rom and in there, the drives appear as the only 746,5 GB

I had heard that more than 2 TB of drives must be set to the GPT instead of mbr, so I used a disk utility to pass.

Both the bios and windows will recognize drives like 3 TB, but the Bishop raid will not see their past 746,5 any thoughts?

I tried a 1.5 TB drive in the machine and went into the raid rom, and he saw the full 1.5 to

Hi Oahawhool,

First of all, you should try to update the BIOS of your Inspiron 530. But if you are already up to date, I suspect that the Intel RAID Utility simply not only supports large hard drives. The operating system will support them as long as your Intel RST is up-to-date, as you may need to simply a different strategy that RAID 1 maintain redundancy.

  • Issue on Inspiron 530 MOBO replacement

    First I want to apologize because I bet that a lot of people before me came before ask exactly the same question, but I need to hear it straight from the mouth of the horse to clear doubts I may, besides I did search for similar topics on the dell forum and cela and nothing conclusive why after pondering for months I should do yet another topic related to dell inspiron 530 or not , but I have finally decided to bite the bullet and we are here. As the title suggests I have questions about the replacement of my dell inspiron 530 mobo broke, it's the G33m02 who, what little research, I can only take up to 4gbs of ram, or 8 gb according to the interviewee (and where is my star doubts) and cannot stand other processors core 2 duo like the one he had, however I have read somewhere in the dell forum that case made for dell computers may have other mobos dell for the same model computer, for example a 530's (which apparently have been sold only in China) motherboard can be replaced by a 530 ordinary because of the PIN and connectors and a few other tech mumbo jumbo that goes completely over my head and I was wondering if I could replace my dell inspiron for a G33M03 or DG33M03 so G33m02 I can also upgrade the processor now that I have access to the core 2 quad processors and 8gbs of ram for some, again, I am sorry I have to do yet another of them because what I saw thousands of people had doubts about this but none appeared to be conclusive enough for me
    Edit: Also, I forgot to ask, can I just buy a. G33M03 or DG33M03 MOBOs or not be a manufactured by Dell, also, these two are my only two choice in addition to become another G33M02? Again, I am really sorry and thank you for taking the time to read this

    SETH VALENTINET

    The G33m02 is a [cheaper] depopulated version of the motherboard that has only a voltage regulator IC 6, rather than regulators 11 voltage on the motherboard G33m03, that supports the processors Core 2 Duo and Quad Core.

    The card mother G33m02 can be replaced by the motherboard G33m03, but food must also be replaced by a unit 350w +, instead of the default 300w unit installed with the card mother G33m02.

    Inspiron motherboards are built by Foxconn for exclusive specifications of Dell.

    With regard to the installation of a non Dell motherboard, probably best to use a motherboard specs Dell, as the BIOS accept software OEM Dell, for example operating systems, more it will match the cabling of the Panel Connectors front chassis Dell.

    PS, I still have an old Inspiron 530 MT of 9 years, with a G33m02 motherboard was updated with hybrid hard drives, Windows 10 and an e8600 LGA 775 processor

  • Dell Inspiron 530 close

    Mr President

    I have a dell Inspiron 530, I bought in 2007.  It worked fine until last night.  He comes to close, I have it will re-start stop you it again, finally I connected with dell, run a diagnosis with the material, and all this past.  He asked me if I wanted to restore to an earlier point, and before he was finished restoration, the computer closed again, after all the software operating system seem to disappear, I can not connect to the computer at all, the screen is all black, the logo of microsoft doesn't even show up.  What can I do?

    Bob Brown

    Hi, Bob Brown,.

    Follow the steps below to locate the problem:

    Unplug all external devices:

    • A piece of equipment can interfere with the normal Windows startup process. Try to unplug all the devices in your computer, including:
    • Printers
    • Scanners
    • Media card readers
    • Small cradles of media (iPod, PDA, MP3 player, etc.)
    • Digital cameras and video recorders
    • USB storage devices
    • CD or DVD of all optical drives

    The only devices you should leave on your computer are your monitor, mouse and keyboard, if the computer is a desktop computer.

    Check if you have run diagnostic computer equipment:

    To run PSA Diagnostics, turn on the computer and press the several times at the Dell logo screen. This will start the unique Boot Menu. Select Diagnostics to start hardware diagnostic assessment.

    This test takes about 5 minutes.

    Reset the BIOS to default values:

    If your computer is set to the first attempt to start on another device, this can cause problems with the successful start-up of Windows. To reset the BIOS of your computer to the default settings, follow these steps:

    Restart the computer

    At the Dell logo on reboot, press of repeatedly until you see entering setup in the upper right corner of the screen.

    According to the BIOS, you may have to press a button on the bottom to load the default settings. For example, on the Inspiron N5110.

    Press ESC to exit the BIOS and be sure to select Save and exit to save your changes.

    Check if the computer starts in Mode safe:

    • Start the computer.
    • Type on the keyboard immediately after the Dell logo screen disappears until you see the Windows Advanced on-screen Menu of Options.
    • (If the Windows Advanced Options Menu does not appear, restart the system and try again.)
    • Select safe mode and press .
    • Log on as an administrator or as a user with administrative access.

  • Recommendations for a second hard drive for my Inspiron 530 please

    Hello

    I have an Inspiron 530 standard.

    My main 320 HARD disk drive is approaching full and I want to add a second internal HDD.

    My intention was to use the new drive as a secondary drive just to store and edit photos.

    Can anyone recommend a compatible drive about 500 GB in size I can use.

    Can you tell me if there a SATA drive that I need, recommended speed (RPM) and I'll need to get all the connectors etc.

    Thanks in advance for your help and advice

    Assuming you have the Inspiron 530 mini tour and not Slimline 530 s version.

    You can install any SATA 3.5 "internal hard drive 7200 RPM up to 2 TB without problem.

    Discover the brands Seagate and Western Digital, also check the length of the manufacturer's warranty, unfortunately hard drives prices are extremely high, due to the flooding of the Thailand, readers, I bought last September for $40 with a promo, now costs $108.

    Instructions for the installation of a second hard drive physically in a 530 are here.

    You will need a SATA data cable, there should be a spare connector to SATA power inside the housing.

    After you have installed the drive, enter the system setup and make sure the hard drive is "on" [We] and recognized.  The system configuration.

    For windows to recognize the second hard drive, it must be partitioned and formatted. Go to control panel, administrative tools, computer management, storage, disk management, right click on the new drive, select format, then you can assign a drive letter.

  • AHCI for Dell Inspiron 530

    Hi, I just installed a Samsung 840 EVO 250 GB in my Dell Inspiron 530 (Quad Q6600) running under Win 7 32 bit. BIOS version 1.0.18 (latest version) the SSD works really well, giving the startup time much better than with the previous hard disk. However, I am under IDE and AHCI is not enabled. 1. it will make much difference to the performance of the SSD if I'd be able to get the AHCI running on my system? 2. If so, how can I get the AHCI to work? Thanks for your help!

    It will not make much difference, but it will make your system more efficient.

  • Adding 2nd hard drive for Inspiron 530

    I have a Dell Inspiron 530 which has a Samsung 320 hard drive.  I would like to add a second hard drive to put photos, etc.  Green a Western Digital 2 TB 3.5 "SATA looks like a possibility.  However, images, like most of the internal drives I saw pictures, he has one open side showing the drive mechanism.  The Samsung already in the PC is covered.  The additional disc will not become covered with dust (my PC had a lot of cobwebs in it when I opened it to the top!)?  Any advice on which drive to choose and how to install it would also be appreciated.

    dellby

    All computers must be inside the frame, cleaned all the dust on a regular basis.

    I have two HD SATA and SSD installed in my Inspiron 530 mini tour and have never had a problem of "dust."

    Keep the air intakes located on the façade behind the clean HD of any accumulation of dust, helps to cool the hard drives.

    Instructions for the installation of a second hard drive physically in a 530 are here:

    FTP://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_inspiron_desktop/Inspiron-530_owner%27s%20manual_en-us.PDF

    Will need you a SATA data cable, there should be a spare power connector SATA inside the case and four 6-32 X 1/4, Phillips head screws to mount the drive.

    Connect the SATA data cable to the SATA connector on the motherboard.

    After you have installed the drive, enter the system setup and make sure the hard drive is "on" [We] and recognized.

    For windows to recognize the second hard drive, it must be partitioned and formatted.

    Go to control panel, administrative tools, computer management, storage, disk management, right click on the new drive, select format, then you can assign a drive letter.

    Hard drives Western Digital and Seagate are good, my preference is for Western Digital.

    Also check the length of the manufacturer's warranty, plus the best guarantee.

  • Inspiron 530 main HDD Upgrade to SSD

    I have an Inspiron 530 I put Windows 7. I thought that, rather than trying to upgrade the operating system, I would like to add a new drive to do a clean install of 7 on and make my player existing secondary drive for data. Following the same process of thought, I thought I'd go with a Solid State Drive for the primary drive would give an additional performance gain.

    Anyone know of any "Pitfalls" that wanted me to use an SSD as my main drive on my 530?

    Hi Dhorlo, all hard disks are now plug ' don't play, which includes the new discs SSD, so you won't have any problems using this drive on a 530.

  • Inspiron 530 s displays only half screen via HDMI or DVI

    I have a strange problem that I'm seeing with an Inspiron 530 s that I'm trying to get up and running again.  It seems to work fine if I use the default VGA port, but if I try to connect it to a TV via HDMI or DVI, it only appears on half of the screen.  The left side of the screen looks normal (be it screens start Dell or actually in Windows).  The right side of the screen is a series of vertical lines.

    I checked the video card isn't the issue.  I swapped another video card in and it does the same thing.  Both cards work fine in another machine.  I also checked the TV working properly.

    I hung the 530 s on a normal 17 "monitor via the VGA port and I see the entire screen.

    The version of the BIOS is 1.0.0.18 that I understand to be the latest version.

    I really want to get this working, but I'm not sure what to look at this point.

    Other tests established that the 530 s as well as the 531 s (which I could test on both) must have problems with some video cards.  Once I established that the question could be reproduced on both models, I decided that this must be an incompatibility problem rather than a problem with the motherboard.

    I decided to try to get Windows installed despite the half of the screen.  Once I had Windows installed, I changed the resolution to the native resolution of the TV (1366 x 768) and the damaged screen went away.  Somehow, it was fixed even if I rebooted the machine, at this time there and I was able to navigate through the BIOS with a normal screen.  In fact, I was not able to reproduce the problem again until completely stop the machine and remove the power completely.  After that, the machine would still start with display messed up, which would remain until when you start Windows, it changed the resolution of the screen at native resolution and there again it would be "fixed".

    The video card is not really new, but I think that it may have been written in a more recent specification of the standard PCI-E that this motherboard can be expected.  If I were so inclined, I could probably find a video card that does not have this problem, but instead, I think I'll just this weird issue.
