  You CAN open the file *.wpl with a text editor. You can (or cannot) be successful
  by making a change to the paths you will find in these files.

• (Redirected) In my office 8500 XPS hard drive failure

  Hard drive Seagate 2 to failed in my desktop XPS 8500.  I have a usb recovery drive and a backup on an external disk image.  I bought a Western Digital 1 TB blue disc that I installed in the computer.  When I start to install the image I created, Windows comes back and tells me that the disc is small.  The original drive has been set up as a Raid drive and the new WD drive displays as a non-Raid drive.  This will cause a problem?  In addition, my image is only 197 passing GB smaller than the new drive capacity.  When I'm in the bios, it shows the WD drive on SATA port 0 0 but it also shows a Samsung SSD 32 GB IDE oucederomsurlesecondport MSATA 1 1 set up as a Raid drive.  Help, please.

  Thank you

• (Redirected) Two hard drive failures in a week and refuses to Dell in computer replacement - only months

  I bought a 8900 XPS for Christmas - I work from home and learn online - computer engineering and not less than databases.

  So I now have a $850 boat anchor on my hands.  Hard drive died a week ago - tech sent on the Dell site to replace.  Guy took 5 minutes, says that you'll be fine. Thing is dead in about 10 minutes, saying "Windows cannot complete the installation."   Rinse and repeat - second hard drive installed today - Guy took 5 minutes, said "You'll be fine."  Thing's dead after 5-10 minutes.  "Windows cannot complete the installation."

  The first failure, supervisor of Dell in India (surprise, surprise), said that they would replace my computer - well I guess that Dell allows supervisors to lie about their teeth.   After FOUR HOURS on THE PHONE after the second failed drive with Dell (guess where people?) the person tech finally threw their hands - they couldn't understand what was going on.

  I am now told to JUST PUT IT IN A BOX and send it to the address that I'm supposed to receive in an email.  They fix it AND SEND IT BACK to me.  This company and their tech support is an absolute joke.

  I Will NEVER EVER EVER buy another Dell.  Period.

• (Redirected) T5810/hard drive Configuration Options

  Does anyone know the configuration specific to the hard drive bays T5810 with respect to the total capacity of the disks 2.5 and 3.5? Sale and manual doc is a bit ambiguous.  Plan would be to order with a G 256 SSD as boot drive, then add an additional 480 G SSD, plus 1-2 3.5 "drives of the machine spinning it would replace.  What I think, based on what I see, is the berries can accommodate up to 4 drives, either 2.5 or 3.5, but the specs say 2 3.5 drive bays only... It seems that one of the optical bays can maintain disks 3.5 or 2.5 (possibly with an optional adapter, I see not listed).  There are enough connectors SATA on the MB, and I'm not going to add a hardware RAID card.

  Also, if ordered with 1 single drive, the SATA and present for the full expansion of power connectors?  The configuration in order to specify a configuration of hard disk without also ordering the hard drives as well, that won't be necessary in my case.

  Thanks in advance.

  Thanks in advance...

• (Redirected) Alienware x 51-replace defective HARD drive help Pls...

  OK, so my x 51 (R1) Blue I screened yesterday and I did my head in an attempt to resolve this... Finally I threw in the towel and decided to factory reset the Player - did not help.  Bought a new drive today and I tried to do a clean of win10 install-I don't have a recovery disk so I used my drive recovery my laptop (XPS-15) and now my office (x 51) think that this is a laptop... so when I go into settings it shows me the CPU in my laptop and my laptop windows product key... This isn't good.

  In the BIOS it still shows X 51, but everything on the new HARD drive shows my laptop recovery info - I thought of widows would detect the info office and adjust - clearly that has not happened.  I tried to boot my windows 10 USB (supplied with my edit on win10 I bought..) and the PC says that it does not find the HARD drive (although I say it can boot from USB...)-when I use my XPS15 USB recovery that works very well.

  So long story short.

  1. how to do a clean install of Windows 10 on my X 51? even if the system came came with Win8.

  2. clean install to win 10 show the good stuff "Alienware" on my computer that was there before?

  3. using a Win10 USB does not work - it keeps giving me the error message that says "drive HARD internal not found to fix this problem, try reinstalling the drive. No bootable devices"- is when I have the win10 USB provided with a brand new version on Windows in USB? I don't get it... to clarify the USB ONLY it recognizes is the USB of recovery I did for my XPS15 - its as it only recognizes the other dell stuff only... very frustrating

  4. How can I get my drivers for the NIC for my X 51? My xps15 has no ethernet port port has therefore had no need for drivers - so I guess that the recovery has not installed the drivers ethernet either... Cannot access the internet atm

  5. any other help to get my x 51 work as if it were would be greatly appreciated.

  Thank you

• (Redirected) Warranty hard drive issue

  Hello

  New to the forum here, but I need some clarification of a Dell representative on this forum.

  I recently bought a 2 in 1 new Inspiron 13 7347 and I wanted to update the hard drive for an SSD.  The representative of sales at Microcenter told me to check if it could void the warranty before installing, so I called the help line.  I was told that if I bought the disc SSD from Dell and installed myself (there are instructions published for that on this site) would not invalidate the warranty.  If I installed an SSD not purchased from Dell, may void the warranty on all of the computer.  There is no sense to me, so I ended up talking to a customer service agent in the sales department who told me the same thing and quote an equivalent disk for a huge slice of $390 (3 x what I paid).

  I did some research here and found this post from a few years ago that uses little common sense that everything you are replacing is not covered:

  [See:en.community.dell.com/.../19435880:550:0]

  Can someone with Dell please specify this?  I understand that if I replace the disc and the disc breaks down, it's my responsibility.  But, I do not understand how to replace the hard drive could void the warranty on the remaining parts of the computer (ie the touch screen).

  Thanks in advance for any help.

• (Redirected) Alienware Aurora R4 - replacement hard drive failed by disk image

  I went to the Dell website and ran the diagnostics for my R4 Aurora. He said that the hard drive had no 2 tests. So, Dell quickly sending a hard drive 2 TB of replacement. I received it today. The bag of the hard drive has a sticker that says "image". I guess that means that a new installation of my Windows 7 Ultimate factory has been installed on the hard disk. I did not receive any instructions, except to say that I need to replace the failed hard drive and return it within 30 days. OK, I can do the physical dominance, but there are a lot of questions, I feel unanswered.

  Where are the instructions step by step to do this?

  Should I get the ID product, s/serials for Windows 7 and office products that I have on the old drive?

  Someone please point me in the right direction. My warranty includes no cat, and Facebook and Twitter are not my best subjects when it comes to getting help.

  Any help will be greatly appreciated. The moderators of Dell, plese chime and let me know as well.

  Thank you

• (Redirected) Alienware X 51 R2 will not start. Repair of the system sees no HARD drive

  Hey,.

  My X 51 died and I can't get it to work. Looking for suugestions.

  After months of random boot errors and re-formatting my HARD drive a few times it will not start upward. It starts either error that says "no found boot device" or it goes to a screen of "diagnosis" of dell alien ware which basically ends with a message saying either

  -reboot again

  -Advanced options > recovery cd, repair, ect.

  When I try to use the windows recovery CD 7 he does not see HARD drive (no HARD drive installed, that it is, I reinstalled it a few times too to make sure it was not a coward).

  -J' have a HARD drive, usb drive, and when I took out the HARD drive I can access my files NP via laptop, so I'm not confident, that's my HARD drive which * out.

  Now, before all this happened, I had to reformat my computer because it was literally so slow it would take like 5 minutes to open a folder (potential virus or something I don't know) and me random boot errors.

  Someone at - he had a similar experience?

• (Redirected) Cannot boot from the HARD drive on dell n5010 with SSD and HARD drive installed

  I have my old dell n5010 (15R Inspiron) with SSD (Samsung EVO 840 120 G) installed on the main drive Bay and the HDD (Samsung HJJ 500 G) on the optical drive Bay.

  It is a typical way to add an SSD on such an old laptop (bought from dell.com.cn in 2011).

  My Windows 10 operating system has been installed on the SSD using Samsung Data Migration software, so the previous C drive was pointless. So I formatted and installed an operating system Ubuntu 14.04 on it, hoping the grub OSs double beginning located on the HARD disk.

  However, I find no the Dell bios boot option to boot from the HARD drive installed in my optical drive Bay. All the choices are 'Hard Drive', 'Network' and 'Diagnostic '.

  But I was definitely sure that my bios program has detected the SSD and HDD with information on the main menu of the bios.

  And the LED on the optical drive Bay was immediately once I pressed the Start button on my laptop.

  As a general rule, all things were right except for options of the bios boot.

  Is there a way I can boot from HDD (with installed Ubuntu) while remaining has my SSD on the main drive Bay? I don't want to swap their positions, because the SSD is super fast on the main drive Bay.

  I have alse won't migrate 10 Windows to the HARD drive and reinstall Ubuntu on the SSD, because I'd like my windows be loaded quickly.

  Someone at - it the same problem with me?

  Any suggestion is appreciated!
