• DVD Rom does not work in the Dimension 2400

  I have a Dell Dimension 2400, operating on Windows XP service pack 3, him comes from the computer with a CD burner and I need to install a DVD player, so I bought a HL-DT-ST-DVD-Rom GDR8163B, I installed the DVD and the computer recognizes the DVD-ROM and device manager says it works fine.

  When I try to use the DVD to play DVDs or CDs, it starts to run, but slow, then after a few seconds it stops, if I go to my computer, the drive is there and if I click the icon it says insert the floppy, puppy little drive upward and then stops.

  I had also installed on this computer Sonic Record now Version 7, I removed that thought it might be in conflict, but no help.

  I tried the fix for WIndows to delete the upper and lower limits

  I was also told that the computer is old and she might need a firmware update or something?

  Can anyone help?

  Osprey, you reason the drive was bad, I went and picked up another drive today and it works great, thanks for all your help.

  I just put the CPU of my Dimension 5150 friend successfully. I would only reproduce on my 2400 - a much smaller machine.

When I have a great session of internet browsing of 100 + tabs, the CPU also emerged at this time here.

• Pls help me to upgrade memory of 512 MB for Dimension 2400

  I used the Dell Profiler information and bought a memory card of 1 GB of Dell Online for my Dimension 2400.  Now, I'm ready to install, but the technical specifications. information on the Dimension 2400 implies it will be inconsistent.  Now, I think I should have bought a 512 MB card and installed instead for a total of two cards of RAM 512 each.  Now that I have the 1 GB, could I install and remove the 512 standard which came installed?  Install the 1 GB in addition to the stock 512 MB card?  TY in advance.

• Dimension 2400

  I have a HP Dimension 2400 since 2003.  I want to add RAM chips and need to know what kind I need.  Any help would be appreciated.

  Hello:

  Dell doesn't have the Dimension 2400 HP.

• What's Dell Dimension 2400 desktop computer capable of capturing a wireless signal? Should this function be switched?

  Dell dimension 2400 desktop computer was plugged into the wireless router we have. We got a new computer and moved the old desktop (Dell 2400) in another room. It is not picking up, or even searching for a wireless signal. She still has this ability? How can we it give this ability?

  The Dimension 2400 is not normally a built-in wireless networking capability.  To view, go to the Control Panel > Classic view > System > hardware > Device Manager and double-click network adapters .

  If that doesn't show wireless network card, you can add it by buying a USB wireless network adapter or a Wireless PCI adapter card .

• Dimension 2400, adding a video card

  Hello

  I'm new to this discussion and just hope I am posting this in the correct place. I have an older Dell Dimension 2400 with an integrated video card. I'm running 2 monitors. Problem is that when I install the video card, VGA - slot PCI, the machine loads, see the new map, then flashes all for sure!

  Is there a jumper on the motherboard that should be placed or a setting in the BIOS/setting (looked everywhere here), that I need?

  Thx for the help and time with this frustrating problem to anyone. I ran 2 monitors on all of my machines simply by adding the video card, but not this machine.

  It is running Win XP Professional.

  Michael

  The Dimension 2400 BIOS default setup an Auto setting for the video.  If you must have both integrated and the functional PCI card, you must go to the system configuration (F2 during the self-test after the start-up of the machine) and change the setting on board to force the computer to send video to the built-in port.

• Setting up RAID on pair of internal IDE drives in a Dimension 2400

  I will first say that I do not know if this is possible.

  I have an old 2400 dimension which came with one hard disk of 40 GB. I want to buy a pair of larger disks to put in it and wonder if it's possible for me to create the pair with RAID-1 mirror, even if it would have the top OS? Ultimately, I want to set up multiple partitions and set it to dual-boot Windows and Linux flavor still to be decided.  I don't know yet what readers are compatible with this machine. I am hunting for the specifications for it. I will need to create a recovery media to preserve the Windows XP operating system, the machine was not provided with media.

  Someone on this forum has successfully completed what I'm doing? If you have any suggestions or can tell me all the good links online, it would be more helpful as I am still learning what I need to do to make this happen all. A link to the material sheet Dimension 2400 or compatible drives list would be welcome.

  Feel free to me blowing my lack of knowledge on this, but we must start somewhere and ask questions to find out what they don't know.

  Thanks in advance,

  The BIOS and the IDE controller integrated into the Dimension 2400 will not support RAID.  However, you can add a RAID PCI controller card that accepts SATA drives.  The SYBA-150R comes to mind for example, but a search of RAID PCI controller will be to others.

  The Dimension 2400 is a bit old for this sort of thing, unless you use it as a learning tool.  You might be better off looking for a somewhat newer machine, like a Dimension 9100, already a capable SATA controller for RAID.

  The incorporation of other operating systems is not a problem, provided that the selected OS has a compatible with the RAID controller mass storage driver.  When a RAID volume is established, the operating system simply treats it as if it were a single hard drive; individual readers are invisible.

• Dell Dimension 2400 will not meet the key USB WIFI Netgear

  Dell Dimension 2400 Windows XP.

  Trying to get my old Dell back in action, but I ran into a problem. NO INTERNET.

  I have the WIFI in my house but I can't connect wirelessly with the desktop computer.

  I have a NetGear Wireless - N Dual Band, but dell WNDA3100 USB won't pick it up. The flash player is on, but it will not install the new software. It is said there was a problem and it probably won't work correctly.

  Any ideas? Thank you!

  first go to the device driver and uninstall everything dealing with netgear.

  also if it is listed in Add/Remove to uninstall and restart.

  above is a search page with instructions for installing xp

  you have version 1 or 2?

  just a thought you have wireless zero config service started/automatic services?

  After all your updates should be installed which will disable the autorun, so that when you insert a usb key, nothing will happen until you go to my computer and click on the device to open it, this was done so that you would have a chance to scan a usb usb being one of the fastest ways to spread a virus If she had previously plugged into an infected pc.
