• Second hard drive Dell Inspiron 3847

  Can someone direct me for information on the installation of a second hard drive for Inspiron 3847 computer for the purpose of the image upwards using the Acronis True Image Home software upward? There is room for an optical drive, which is totally alien to me, but nothing is said nowhere in the hardware in the user manual on the addition of second hard drive that seems to be a pretty normal material adding. No sense in this matter. First time forum thank you poster

  Dell has not released the procedures to install an additional SATA hard drive, the Inspiron 3847 has a 3.5 Bay ", one for the second hard drive next to the main hard drive, there should be a set of rails located in the Bay, two 6-32 X 1/4, Phillips head screws are required to secure the Rails.

  Procedures on pages 26 to 28 of the owners manual should give you an idea of what is required for installation.

  http://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_inspiron_desktop/Inspiron-3847-desktop_Owner%27s%20Manual_en-us.PDF

  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.

  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 drive Dell Inspiron 1426

  My hard drive died and I bought one on ebay. I have insalled it and inserted the disc of exploitation for windows vista. The error message that came was, "this disk is not bootable" or something like that...

  Does anyone know how to get the new hard drive to work? I am novice of the WADA. My computer is a Dell inspiron 1426.

  Maybe the person that I bought to take everything on it?

  Linda :)

  Hello

  To install Vista on the new disk, you must set the CD/DVD to start everything first and have the Vista Installation
  media.

  Parameters/settings (BIOS/CMOS) often F2 as you start then look at the screen - CD/DVD to start everything first - don't forget
  to replace hard drive later.

  Put in the DVD and boot on it and install Windows. If it boots that disc and then either the CD/DVD drive
  has a problem or the disc you are using is not the good Vista installation media.

  Check with Dell Support, their drivers and documentation online and ask in the Dell forums. Dell will reference
  installation instructions complete on their Web site.

• New hard drive Dell PE 1900

  Just ordered 2 new hard drives of 300 GB of Dell $ 300 each.  Have Perc 5 / i Raid 5 config.  I was told that I could get 2 hard drives from WD a lot cheaper at microcenter who would work as well?  If I want with the Dells that are in transit?  Thank you

  Depends on the model of WD drive. Nevere use desktop/laptop (green, blue) readers and do not use the NAS (red) drives. Only certain versions of readers RE are provided by WD to work on Dell DCs. So, if it's not a disc RE WD States are working on PERC controllers, and then use the readers of Dell. Also, for future use, don't order disks directly from Dell. Buy the same readers certified suppliers. For example:

• Upgrade hard drive Dell Latitude D800

  Hello

  I have a latitude D800 with a Hitachi Travelstar 80 GB 2.5 "IDE model: HTS548080M9AT00 who now suffers from the disease by clicking on infamous which apparently these HD are famous for. So im needing a new HD, I took the old hard drive that was easy enough, but what worries me really, it's what is compatible with my d800. I did a little research and found a pdf with the d800 comes with and the specifications of the current hard drive do not match even with what is listed in this spreadsheet.

  So I'm looking for an answer well informed on this hard drive I can stick it in my D800 as I don't want to buy a HD and it works not because the motherboard doesn't. I know that the best thing to do would be to buy the same HD, but I'd like one with more capacity.

• How do I "Defrag" my hard drive - Dell XPS 8900?

  I heard that it is good to defragment your hard drive, especially for the ouv of flight that I use my machine for.

  But my machine has a SSD for powered by a normal hard disk - caching and normal defrag utility will not let you to this "hidden" traditional disc

  Is it possible to defragment my real behind the scenes hard drive safely?

  Thank you

  Steve

  You specify the drive when you run defrag?

  Try to run the defragmentation from a CMD window. At the prompt, type first to:

  Defrag C: - one

  Press

  This will give a report on how fragmented the drive is. If you decide that he needs to defragment, typeRegeditdans;

  Defrag C:

  Press

  And you can type in defrag C: /? to see a list of all the "available switches" available for defragmentation.

• Replacing the hard drive DELL XPS L501X

  Lately, I got some error messages like "SMART has detected a hard disk failure." Back up your data immediately. »

  I think there is no option available troubleshooting now and I need to replace my HARD drive with a new one. Indicate if there is. For a new HARD drive, I came across Hitachi Travelstar Z7K500 which has the best record and is available at a very good price. Some of its strengths:

  • First 7200 RPM, 500 GB in a 7mm single disc design
  • Advanced format, 512-byte emulation
  • First interface SATA 6 Gb/s on a mobile HARD drive

  I'm just worried if I do I face compatibility problems as it has only 7 mm in height compared to my older HDD which was 9.5 mm in height. I'd love to learn more about this and other suggestions you might have.

  All SATA drives are backward compatible - and SATA6G questions only for SSDS.  No hard drive can withstand even 150 Mbps - and yet less than 3G / 6G.  The interface may, but does not have the mechanical hard drives.

• Replacing the hard drive Dell XPS 9100

  My hard drive to 500 GB boot is dying, that I need to replace the HD with a hard disk the same or I can pick up a 1 to Sata HD and it would work. Not sure if I can just get any type of hard drive and it will work.

  Thank you

• Hard drive Dell Latitude E4300

  I have a question!

  What is the difference between the 200 GB hard disk (7200 RPM) free fall sensor and the fall sensor free 250 GB hard drive (7200 RPM), because the 200 GB version is 70 Euro more expensive than the 250 GB version.

  Are there differences in quality?

  Thanks for responding!

  Kind regards

• New hard drives Dell Poweredge 2950

  Our 2950 has disks SAS 300 GB 15 k in there. It is full, so we need bigger disks. I'll have to make one both slow and wait method, no place to back up to. Must the new disks be 15 k? We need to buy less expensive players.

  Thank you

  Lee

  The s.3 are SAS or SATA, so should be the SAS version.

  You could add a 1 to the existing RAID 5 SAS drive, HOWEVER, only 300 GB of it will be usable in the table and the rest won't help at all (unless at some point, you plan to replace all readers of disks 1 to).  Otherwise, you could simply expand using another drive of 300 GB:

  I did not know that the simple addition of a disk happen here that much

  I'm not sure how much/little you expect, but RAID 5 always uses the value of the a disk space for parity, if you have three disks in RAID 5 or 10 disks, 3x300GB both in RAID 5 = 600 GB and 4x300GB in RAID 5 = 900 GB.

• Compaq hard drive in Dell requires activation, activation of phone says ID is not valid, now what?

  I lost the card mother of surge, computer original was Compaq SR1625NX... hard drive installed in a HP Pavilion and it worked fine... got a Dell and swapped hard drive... When I try to log in, XP requires ACTIVATION... internet method says it is not connected, method reject generated ID of the post... I have the original product key for the home edition of XP hard disk... hard drive Dell I swapped a XP Professional...

  Any ideas on how to enable the Compaq hard drive in a Dell computer?

  Once the PC has left the scene, the license was no longer valid - you must reformat and reinstall with the original operating system with which the unit has been delivered.

  You may be able to change that key on the COA sticker with the product key update tool - http://windows.microsoft.com/en-GB/windows/help/genuine/product-key

• Replacing the hard drive and Recovery console repair turns into a nightmare of activation

  I took the hard drive of a computer dell laptop is no longer used and put it in my current toshiba laptop (in which the hard drive was dead prior).

  I had my laptop to accept the hard drive by using the recovery console and do a chkdsk with the repair option. After repairs the laptop now wants to be activated.

  So now I use my laptop with a hard drive built to a dell computer. Of course, I uninstalled all the bloatware and replaced all the drivers with the right. the hard drive works fine with my laptop. This isn't the problem.

  My problem is that windows will not activate. It is a genuine copy of windows xp home edition, purchased from dell. I got through all of the activation methods and they tell me that the installation id is invalid. I'm basically a big circle with phone support to web support.

  If my product key is known to be valid for windows xp family when he was on the hard drive in the computer dell laptop, why is it not valid when traded to the computer toshiba laptop and why used someone help me with this problem. I can't be the only one that this has happened?

  as a reminder, swapped a hardrive is no longer in use of the computer, a work computer. has ran chkdsk to fix disk errors, after reboot windows is enabled is no longer and requires activation. Activation Assistant will not accept the installation as id being valid and would call support, when I go to real profit online to activate it also error. How can I activate this well-known work product id? I'm not hacking because he is no longer in use, basically, I am on a windows xp home edition right now and nobody will help me.

  Thanks in advance

  Dan

  The hard drive Dell has a "Dell" OEM of Windows XP version and a "Dell" product key (and might even be locked BIOS) that will not work on your Toshiba.

  As with all versions once installed on a computer/motherboard OEM it cannot be moved to another PC.
