XPS 410 (Dimension 9200) hard drive upgrade. What is the limit?

Currently, I have 3 hard drives in my XPS410: year 80 to run programs and the Windows host and two 500 GB (configured as RAID1 for mirroring) for documents, music, etc. I make an edition of AVCHD movies and would like to add additional hard disks to my computer for storage/backup of the images.

The two slots in the hard drive inside the case are busy. In addition, the 3rd hard drive lies in the 5.25 "bay - using an adapter. I have no floppy drive or media card reader. So, I think to put two hard drives in these slots and their establishment as a separate RAID1. Are there problems for 5 hard drives in this particular machine? I definitely have available SATA ports... Then the power supply handle this situation (my graphics card is nVidia GeForce 8300 GS)? Since space is tight in the area of card reader floppy/media, put two hard lead create a problem with the temperature of the hard drive?

Thank you very much in advance for your time and help!

I have the first two in the lower bays and the other two are in the two upper bays, which are for the floppy drive and the card reader. You don't need any additional hardware, just the additional screws that are already in the case.

  • Hard Drive upgrade - what is the best software to transfer information

    I don't know how to transfer files and folders, no problem, but I want to upgrade my hard drive but don't want to lose my settings or programs.  I don't want to start over.  I had success in the past with some programs when switching from an old computer to a new, but it will not work on the upgrade.  Anyone know of a program that will allow me to put an external information, install the new hard drive and install XP, then copy the original information and programs.  The challenge for programs to work properly.

    Go to computer stores, get an external hard drive of 1 TB capacity. Ask for one that you can just simply copy and paste to transfer files.

    I have a. Digital WD Elements. 1 TB vapacity. It works very well. No action of fancy, complicated to transfer, just copy and paste or drag and drop files.

    I also use it to make Sysytem Image backup.

  • The Dell Dimension 9200 graphics card upgrade

    I am looking to update my graphics card on a Dell Dimension 9200 and I was wondering if the Nvidia GeForce GT 430 would work with the pc, I have a Nvidia 7900 gt. I am open to both recommendations.

    My current pc features, Windows 8 version Preview (upgrade to windows 8 Pro in a few days), 4 GB of ram, intel dual core 2.13 ghz.

    Hi gaz492,

    The graphics card you have mentioned should work on the Dimension 9200.

    Food that has been delivered with the computer is 375W which is more than the bloc power to the graphics card. Details of the graphics card: http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gt-430/specifications

    In addition, providing the link for the specifications of the computer:

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

    Add the link to the manual for Dimension 9200, which is also known as the XPS 410:

    There are a lot of compatible adapters to the computer: here is a list of the latest graphics cards that run on the desktop computer:

    1. nVidia GeForce GT 440.
    2. ATI Radeon HD 6570.
    3. ATI Radeon HD 6670 (requires minimum 400W).
    4. ATI Radeon HD 7750 (requires minimum 400W).

    Usually if the video card is updated on the computer, you must upgrade the power too as the power supply on this computer is 375W.

  • Computer HP laptop slim 500 GB HARD drive: used for HP laptop HARD drive upgraded to Win 10 Pro with key now stuck after HP Drive Encryption Login

    I bought a portable hard drive used HP for the upgrade of my Lenovo G550 with ugraded CPU with Intel's CORE DUO T9300 2.50 ghz

    (HP hard drive: computer laptop slim drive HARD 500 GB SERIAL ATA DISK DRIVE S/N W627S9NL P/N 756731-001 MFG Seagate Technologies DOM 8 / 2015)

    I was happy to see that the hatd drive had already installed because Windows 7 I had bought already separate legitimate Windows 10 Pro license key for the upgrade. I was able to go online and download the upgrade of Windows 10 and used my purchased license key to activate my updated.

    While doing the installation, there are some HP software that was still on the hard drive. I thought it would be good to have some additional security protocols, so I also installed the WinMagic Securedoc Bootloader v1.2.12 and saved the drive encryption HP with the security issues and password for secondary access.

    10 Windows has been activated and everything was beautiful. But when I restarted the laptop, I put my password for windows and then it goes to this screen of disc HP encryption rises. I put the password and it is accepted - and then the screen turns white... not offshore... jblank TEU with a cursor flashing that doesbn can't react to inputs.

    I tried leaving it for a day or so and still nothing.  There is nothing I can change in the configuration of the BIOS that works so far.

    I also tried Reimage download on USB and re-creation of the sequence of boot, but not good. Even tried a boot drive, but nothing there either. I'll try again.

    I don't know where to go or how to get beyond the screen of HP encryption.  I am pretty good at following directions, I don't know coding, but may do what you suggest to help me fix this problem.

    Can you help me?

    Sorry... I missed the part that you have a license Win10.  I thought you were trying to activate 10 using the OEM HP license and causing problems.

    I do not use HP encryption applications - as having recently completed a career in the InfoSec, I personally focus together on the encryption of the PC to be laughable-, but my guess is that you are basically out of luck.

    If it was my drive, I WIPE the drive of all its content and then again install Win10.  A good product to do i.e. DBan: http://tiptopsecurity.com/how-to-securely-wipe-your-hard-drive-with-dban-erase-your-data-for-good/

    Once your disc is clean, then simply install Win10 on it.

    That said, with a bit of luck, one of the HP EXPERTS will probably come along and tell you how to get around their encryption.

    Good luck

  • Satellite Pro A100 - HARD drive upgrade

    Hi, I have a Satellite Pro A100 with a FUJITSU MHV206OBH HD, he has been faithful and worked for at least three consecutive years, now my HD is filled with data from software etc. etc. I just changed the memory and upgraded to 2 Gygs and really the A100 is now as fast as my Dell XPS. I love my Satellite and want to install a new larger drive,
    Has anyone in the forum upgraded to a larger HD, advice, any recommendation of HD, where can I find the service manual for this.

    Best regards

    Thor Hedderich

    Hello

    In General, all satellites/Satellite Pro should have SATA hard drives and upgrade is not problematic. You can do this alone.
    If your laptop's 60 GB HARD drive only you can improve even with 120 GB or 160 GB.
    These hard drives are so cheap.

    Is that enough for you?
    Replacement is easy to do and you don't need manuals.

    The low side is set with a cover of HARD drive screw. On the disc lid HARD is placed also for computer laptop (one of the 4).
    -Remove the HARD drive cover
    -Remove the HARD drive pack by pulling on the cushion of the battery, following the direction of the arrows
    -Place the pack HARD drive on a flat surface (such as a desk) and remove the two cushions

    I guess you know now how to put a new.

  • sleekbook 14-f021nr Hard Drive Upgrade

    I am trying to upgrade my HP Pavilion Sleekbook 14-f021nr.  So far, I love the touchscreen but performace wise this thing is not desirable.   I've already doubled the RAM from 4 GB to 8 GB Win 8.1 can get alittle hungry.  When the monitoring task manager, I also noticed that often the hard drive runs at 100%, so I reduced the number of processes that automatically at Windows startup.  That didn't seem to help so my next point of attachment is upgraded to HD.  I currently have the standard HD 750 GB (ST750LM022 HN - M7) that came from the factory.  I looked in the service manual and it doesn't talk much about what is compatible other than SATA drives spinning @ 5400 standards.  While I can't quite afford to buy an SSD of 750Go to go to there are some affordable hybrid out there that combine both Solid State and traditional hard drives.  However, I did find a lot of documentation on compatibility issues for my laptop model.  Are there special considerations that I think about upgrading the hard drive.  I'm assuming SATAIII is a given but all the serice manual aludes to East of 5400 for spin speed and even talking SSD drives.  I was watching a couple of hybrid drives Seagate 1 TB and disks 1 TB Western Digital Black hybrid.   Advice or specifications would be greatly appreciated.

    You're definitely on the right track. An SSD is the new upgrade of the processor. Here is the Manual:

    Manual

    See Page 38. Unfortunately, yours is one of the models where it is very difficult to get to the memory and the hard drive and you put the guarantee in jepoardy trying to upgrade the components. Given that you already upgraded the RAM I guess you know what you have found yourself, however.

    You won't be compatibility issues with any of the readers that you have mentioned. I will say that the true SSD is in a League by itself, but hybrid hard drives that you mention are also much faster than a stock 5400 drive RPM.

    Since you do not have an optical drive built in, migration of the software is also a problem. Your best bet is to clone the existing installation to the new drive using an external usb adapter to SATA.

  • XPS 8300: Install new hard drive 3 TB BSOD results after imaging but not after Win7 clean

    I have a XPS 8300 and the original Seagate 2 TB hard drive is dead. Because being forced to install a new HARD drive, I opted for 3 TB and bought a WD because I had horrible luck with Seagate repeatedly.

    Anyway, I installed the new HARD drive and booted from the Windows 7 64 bit Pro installation disc and attached my external drive to backup and choose the backup image to the new disk. It completed without error, but when the computer restarts, I get a blue screen of death with the 7B stop code. I tried to put the HARD drive in a box and attached to another computer, and all my image files are there so I know that the computer was able to write the image to the new HARD disk. How to fix the BSOD errors? I set to update to the latest version of the BIOS (A06) but always the blue screen. I tried to install the latest Intel drivers also and which does not seem to do anything.

    Frustrated, I installed Windows 7 clean on this drive and I am writing this message from him. The drive appears in my computer as a 2 TB. Disk Management displays 100 MB System Reserved Partition, Partition C: of 2047 GB and 746 GB unallocated.

    Why a new installation does not seem to work (I know that I would have to format the 746 GB to use it and to give it a new drive letter) but the imagery that the disc breaks down. What Miss me?

    I've seen a lot of posts on using Intel drivers to solve similar problems. These drivers get breaths during the imaging process? Should they be installed before the imagery of the backup? (Thought that I did, but maybe I didn't do it right - their installation can be verified before the disk imaging?) Tried to call Dell and Windows support... am no where in a hurry.

    Hi LG1382,

    You cannot start Windows 7 on a 3 TB drive. You can use it for data, but not as the system drive. Windows 7 can only start TPG on systems with BIOS UEFI, which does not the 8300.

  • How to change Pavilion DV2000 hard drive? What brand/size of the hard disk works?

    I have a Pavilion dv2000 I bought in 2006 (waaay out of warranty).

    My current (original) hard drive is completely filled. It is 80 GB. Fujitsu SATA

    I tried to upgrade the hard drive me. I bought a Western Digital SATA 250 GB hard drive is cloning kit.
    The kit seemed to do what he was supposed to, but when it was time to put the new drive in, I ran into problems.

    Do not match the connectors on the ends upwards. Metal "teeth - like ' connector end face on the new hard drive instead of to the bottom." (I couldn't find another way to navigate the hard drive cradle to get the connectors to face down so that they connect with the rest of the computer.

    Predictable when I tried to boot up the laptop, it wouldn't read the new hard drive. So I put the old hard drive in and that's what I use now as I type.
    The old hard drive did not fit into the cloning kit which makes me think that this hard drive configuration is obsolete and this laptop can not be upgraded at all, which sucks considering how much $$$ I've spent on this equiptment upgrade...

    I can't find info on internal hard disk of purchases on the HP website. Anyone know what new hard drive will work in this old laptop?

    Thank you for helping!

    I found the answer. It turns out that my computer is so old that about a year after I bought it, HP changed the configuration of HDD on their laptops all line of Pavilion in the future. The HD config in my laptop is now part of a line that was interrupted for more than 2 years. This old line goes only up to into space at 120 GB if you can find an old still sold online. Retailers do not sell them more.

    And I can't use the clone HD product that I bought since my hard drive is obsolete and does not.

    So I'm pretty much stuck with what I have now. It's not worth the hassle. I'm going to do with this for a year (with an external hard drive), and then get a new machine.

    Please help guys!

  • Dell XPS 8700 - secondary SATA Hard Drives don't appear not

    I tried to install two additional hard drives on my new XPS 8700. The machine came with the primary drive connected to the SATA 0 and the DVD drive connected to the SATA 1. When I installed two additional hard drives, I put in the SATA 2 & 3 ports. Hard drives appeared in Windows (8.1), nor in the BIOS. I played a bit with ports SATA 2 & 4 and 3 & 4. Hard drives are not recognized. When I looked in disk management, they weren't there. As a last resort, I unplugged the DVD player SATA cable and plugged the cable on one of the secondary hard drives (which was then attached to the SATA 1 port) to connect the DVD player to the SATA 2 this drive cable port. When I started my computer, all drives have become visible. I don't know why. SATA cables I used comes from a 5 year old computer (like hard drives). Was it a problem with the cables, or is it a problem of SATA port? The first disc hard school should go in port SATA 1?

    I searched the forum and couldn't find a similar problem (http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/desktop/f/3514/t/19520798.aspx). Eventually, the person back to his computer.

    alexsyseng,

    for the most part, you are right. I had this same problem as well, but I already had the a06 bios. the problem is with the uefi bios feature. its ment to be safer, but causes problems when adding disks. I tried your suggestion to change the secure boot options, but it does not work for me. I found the solution by chance when I went from uefi boot inherited so that I could use my cd discpart of secure erase my ssd.

    so here's the solution, whenever you add a drive, you will pass the bios in legacy mode, then return to the uefi mode. If your computer came with windows 8 then more than likely your bios is set to uefi. When you switch the bios the legacy of your desire to computer error and you say that he has not found any what boot drives. No worries, switch to that return to uefi, reboot and now your system will start properly and all your disks will be visible in the windows and disk management. no need to replace your motherboard. Unfortunately, I spent two hours with tech support and they didn't know that either.
