• XPS 8700 adding Second hard drive

  Hello - I bought recently for a XPS 8700 and I would add a second 1 to HDD - like this:

  http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16822148840

  This HARD - ST1000DM003 - drive looks identical to the factory installed HDD in my XPS 8700 - SCSI\DiskATA___ST1000DM003-1CH1CC47

  Is - this HARD drive identical or close to my OEM HARD drive?  That's fine with me.  I didn't need a lot of space - just need a backup disk.

  1.) do I need a HARD drive caddy any?  I did not open the folder again. I do not believe after looking at manuals online, but wanted to be sure.

  2.) these screws will work to set up the second HDD in the cage?

  3.) cable SATA which should I buy?  Manufacturer, length, type, etc.

  4.) is feeding OK with respect to capacity with a second HDD?

  Thank you. !  Sam

  Update - I installed the internal hard drive, which I purchased from Newegg.  8700 XPS recognized the drive.  All I had to do was to format the drive.

  Here are the things I bought.  The XPS 8700 is equipped with a stand to hold the second hard drive.  Thanks Bev.

• 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.

• Add SSD to the Studio XPS 8100 with 2 HARD drive

  Hello

  I have a request similar to this one in this thread: http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/disk-drives/f/3534/p/19499585/20334228.aspx#20334228 but I went a little lower on the line, need some advice and help on the Intel Rapid Storage Technology controller.

  I have a Dell Studio XPS 8100 with discs of Segate to 2 x 1 TB which have stripes.

  Configuration is SATA 1 + 2 = hard disks scratched; 3 = BluRay ROM/DVD RW SATA; SATA 4 = not used.

  I bought a Samsung SSD 840 series.

  What I want to do is add the new SSD controller and install Windows 8 without messing/breaking the existing 2 x HDD Striped Array.

  First, I installed the SSD SATA 4 and started Windows 8 to DVD but Windows 8 says it could not install on this disk because it is not bootable (SSD is not formatted/not partitioned right now but I guess that Windows 8 installation will do for me.

  If the questions are:

  (1) if I go the SSD SATA 1, could I (physically) move the existing striped 2 HDD SATA 2 and 3 and set this configuration in technology Intel Rapid Storage Technology controller without losing the striped table?  I don't want to find that the controller will set up a table of fees which then requires a fresh format in order to to use.

  (2) is there a documentation of this controller I could read on what concerns the reconfiguration/options and their effect?

  Thank you
  Chris

  I am pleased to learn that you have to work.  Sometimes I forget that the newer Dell BIOS will allow allows you to select a SATA port for the start.  My XPS 410, being an older machine, allows me only to the ability to choose 'SATA hard drive' as boot device.  Because it does not give me the option to choose a specific port, the bootable SATA drive must be attached to the first port.

  Once a RAID has been configured, the parametric data written to readers allow the RAID ROM figure out how the RAID has been configured.  I've been through all this on a Studio XPS 435 t/9000; We had a problem after adding a new video card in the system that caused startup failure, error message "one or more of your drives are locked".  We have solved by moving readers from the ports of third and fourth (or Dell originally installed them) to the ports of first and second.  Requirement to keep records in the same relative order of port, you can of course make this transition and maintain the operational computer.

  I wish that your installation does not end with an arrangement of dualboot on its own; Maybe Windows 8 works differently from Windows 7.  The XPS 410, I'm currently using is a RAID 0 which has been initially configured with Windows XP.  When I decided to try Windows 7, I has narrowed the original partition and run the Windows 7 Installer to install in the unallocated space resulting.  The installation went normally and I found myself with a system dual boot without ever having had the opportunity to indicate that I wanted a system dual boot.  Since it was my goal, I'm not complaining, but I see that it might be inconvenient for some people who had the intention like that.  Before installation, you accidentally set your SSD on port 4 to be the first in the boot order?

• 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.

• Qosmio X 70-number of HARD drive

• 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.

• XPS L502X Upgrade SSD HARD drive - advice please

  I am wanting to change the HARD disk with the ti a new SSD however, I'm not sure of the order type (sata etc.)

  I only took the disk of the machine yet, but any advice on the correct type and compatible brand will be much appreciated.
  Thank you

  Any 2.5 "SATA SSD will work - you will also need an adapter, because the system is designed for training of 9.5 mm, and most SSDS are 7 mm in height (some drive kits come with an adapter, but will not be a naked drive - for this, you will need to purchase a 2.5 mm adapter).

• Incorrect serial number - new hard drive

  I knew that my HD was suddenly completely dead some time ago so I replaced it with a new one. As I had a license for Adobe Photoshop Elements 10, I downloaded the files and found the serial number for My Adobe. The problem is that the installation does not succeed and I get the message that the serial number is not valid. I know for a fact that I wrote it correct. What is perhaps the reason for this? That HD is dead, it is impossible to disable it...

  You must contact Adobe Support by chat or phone when you have the serial number and activation problems.  They manage to disable the original installation, and they might be able to deal with the problem number series as well if it persists.  You should check to make sure that you have downloaded the same version as the one you own.
