• response of optical drive Dell Inspiron 3847 - to insert a CD

  My Dell Inspiron 3847 responded lately more slowly to insert a CD into the optical drive.  ("Reader DVD RW (E :) ("displays more slowly in the file Explorer after inserting a CD in the optical drive, and for CD splash screens are not displayed for several minutes.)

  Can someone tell what is normally the time interval after inserting a CD in the optical drive?

• 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?

  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.

• Lost CD/DVD in BIOS drive / Dell Inspiron 3847

  I lost my driver CD/DVD entry in the boot BIOS section while trying to change the order of boot autour. I tried to use a boot disk that did not work properly and didn't know and thought that I had to change the boot order to see the boot-able DVD.  DOH!  ;-)

  One of the 5 start past choices [HL - DT - ST DVD +/-RW GHBON] [internal STRANGE machines] in all cases.

  Here are the 5 choices HHD entry and below which was the entry DVD of "HL - DT - ST DVD +/-RW GHBON. Now, there are only the HHD entry and no DVD entry.

  DVD is OK in the "Device Manager" and start from the disc to start the good DVD OK.  I tried updating BIOS to A04 A05 without change. I ran each tool/test Dell I can find without success in the restoration/correction of writing DVD in BIOS.

  I spent the better part of a week to implement this backup compy with all programs/files wife and I use to work/play. I wanted to make an ISO image for a total restoration at a glance.  I don't want to re - build from scratch once again unless I have no choice.  I did all the disks in the factory restore but it will restore the BIOS DVD boot entry correctly? If it's the only choice I do but we need to correct the BIOS entries.

  I really don't think that there is a problem.

• Dell Inspiron 560 install a second hard drive

  I am wanting to know if it is possible to run both hard drives in this computer to the max storage?

  Derplax

  Yes, the Inspiron 560 MT supports two 3.5 "SATA internal hard drives.

  Dell has not released written instructions for adding an additional SATA hard drive in the 560 MT

  But as the Tower of 530 Dell Mini has the same chassis, the same procedures can be used.

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

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

  After you install the second hard drive, enter the BIOS Setup] and ensure that the drive is enabled [on].

  Then partition, format the hard drive and it assigned a drive letter by using disk management.

• Add the second hard drive in the Dell Optiplex 780 SFF

  Hello

  I have dell Optiplex 780 SFF (Small Form Factor) PC. It has 3 options of SATA. I want to add 2nd hard drive in it, but I see no power for 2 hard drive cable.

  At the present time, I have a SATA Hard Drive and a SATA Super Combo. But the power cable from the SATA Super combo is very unique, I can not able to give the power of this cable to my 2nd hard drive.

  Is it possible to add 2 hard disk in the PC case?

  Best regards

  Dani

  Hi Dani,

  The SFF is using a drive slim lens that does not have a standard SATA power connection. You will need to buy an adapter or a SATA power cable splitter to power a second hard drive.

• 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.

• Dell Optiplex 755 adding second hard drive

  I have a Dell Optiplex 755 and I would like to add a second hard drive (160GB 3.5 "SATA Hard Drive Western Digital WD1600AAJS) to have more space, because I think that the stock 75 GB is not enough for me. So I wonder if I need a new power supply or additional data and power cables.

  Thank you.

  The mini tour has two positions for the drives.  See the manual...

  NOTE from the ADMIN: Broken link has been removed from this post by Dell >

  The two positions of hard disks are next to each other.

  Yes, you will need to provide a SATA cable

• Inspiron 620 - adding a second hard drive (UK)

  Hello

  I would like to add a second hard drive on this machine (purchased in 2012). There is a free slot in the drive Bay and the spare mounting rails, there is a connector not used on the power cable (P5), so it's just a SATA data additional connection which is missing.

  So should I buy a cable to plug into an outlet of spare SATA on the motherboard (I think there are 4 outlets), and if so, which card mother socket do I use? Or would it be better to replace the SATA cable with one that has two connectors on it? Recommendations of cable would be appreciated :-).

  And how I tell the machine that both hard drives is the master and who is the slave?

  Thanks in advance,

  Mark

  Master and slave are IDE terminology the answer is NONE.

  SATA uses ports numbered 0 to blue 4The port is 0, which is the boot drive. The next black port is 1 which is the trunk dvd's.

  White port is 2 where 2nd hard drive and the last black part 3 where would the next optical drive.

  

• 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.

• Screw hard drive Dell

  I need to install my old hard drive SATA on my new Inspiron 531 s as a second hard drive. Tried and realized that the fixing screws are special. They have a big head. I have a lot of normal mounting screws, none of them are close too it. I tried to get them in stores, nobody wants. Called Dell support, parts etc. They "do not sell". It's a shame, as it should have been included in the box. I may return this computer because I can't get 4 small screws.

  Dell should include with the box, certainly sell it or just give it on request. Anyone know how to get these screws 'shoulder '.

I need HP special material to mount a second drive? Any help would be appreciated.

• Second hard drive problem

  Hello!

  I want to add 1 TB (SATA) hard drive. my system is Dell optiplex gx 620 small form factor.

  Please guide me my taken pc support two hard drives or not?

  Hello

  I don't think that there is room for a second hard drive in the compact format for the GX 620.  If you take a look at the user guide for the GX 620and scroll down to about 28 page, it seems that there is no room for conflict between the existing HARD disk location and the motherboard.

  Have you taken the cover on this system and looked at the components inside?  Don't you see a box to hold another tray of hard drive?   I don't have one of these systems to look at, but my suggestion would be to get an external hard drive for this system instead of trying to add an intern.  I don't think that there is room for it.

• What needs to install a second hard drive in the XPS 410 desktop computer

  I want to install an internal drive repaired as a second drive in my office, so I can recover the data. A few threads in this area and I see support. Would just need a SATA HD cable? The power cable would already be there?

  userx_076

  Requires addititional hard drive, a SATA data cable and a power connector SATA, the default XPS 410 has a SATA power connector power to spare for a second hard drive.

  You will need to buy a SATA data cable, probably a 24 "x 90 * [square] x 180 * right SATA cable, similar to the cable as shown here:"

  mujaka

  Sorry, but the GX 520 desktop version does not support a second hard drive, a 3.5 "internal HD is supported, [page155] here:

  http://FTP.Dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_desktop/esuprt_optiplex_desktop/OptiPlex-gx520_user%27s%20guide_en-us.PDF

  But, if you're willing to lose the optical drive, a second hard drive can be installed in the Bay 5.25 ".
