Inspiron 1720 looses 2nd hard drive after reboot
Hi all. I have an inspiron 1720 that looses the drive letter assigned to it.
My Laptop:
Inspiron 1720
Core 2 Duo 2.4Ghz (an upgrade)
HDD1 320Gig
HDD2 750Gig
4Gb DDR2 6400 ram
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
On the whole the laptop is really good, with all the upgrades I have done to it it is very very quick.
The one and only issue I have is with the drive letter for my 2nd hard drive.
Before I fitted the hard drives both were formatted in NTFS with another computer.
The 320 gig has windows installed on it and has no problems at all.
The 750 gig hard drive is installed in the 2nd hard drive bay and shows up in my bios (which is up to date, version 09 if memory serves) and installed fine when windows first started. My problem is that I can set a drive letter for it in manage but as soon as I reboot the laptop it looses the drive letter and I have to go into manage and assign it again.
I have tried a 120gig hard drive in the 2nd bay and exactly the same thing happens.
If anyone is able to help me with this issue I would be very greatful.

Dell Inspiron 1545 Laptop Has Trouble Turning On
I mistakenly posted this in the 'Audio' tab. I am reposting under the General hardware category, so maybe I have better luck with an answer.
I recently had to almost completely disassemble my laptop, and Inspiron 1545, to replace the fan. After putting it all back together, I now have a new problem. I have to press the power button with more force and for a longer time than I had to prior to replacing the fan. I now also have to press the button 3 or 4 times before the laptop will power on. The obvious question is, did you put everything back the way it was ? I sure think so. Everything else works. The AC power adapter and battery are both functional. I pulled off the power button cover and pressed the little white power button that is connected to the Power Button Circuit board, and it had the same problem, so it does not look like the power button cover was not seated properly. I also disconnected and reinserted the power cable on the Power Button Circuit board, thinking that I may not have reinserted it properly the first time. That also did not help. Maybe I need to replace the Power Button Circuit board.
So I ask the forum for help - what do you think it could be, and what should I try next ? Thanks for any assistance.

RAM Error
Hi all, I have a Dell Inspiron 7000 series 7548 Laptop. This laptop is around 3 months old.
Ever since windows 10 rolled out, I immediately downloaded it. A week afterwards I found my computer would not boot. Upon pressing the power button, the light would blink fit half a second and then turn off. Pursuing power more didn't boot. I thought it was a memory error, since the night before I got multiple blue screens of death saying BAD POOL HEADER or MEMORY ERROR, so I got the idea to open my laptop up.
There are two sticks of four GB RAM. After a little tinkering, I found my computer could only boot with the Slot B stick in and the Slot A stick taken out. At first I thought this was a faulty RAM stick, but recently I bought a new stock and it worked -- for about 12 hours. After that I found my laptop unable to boot with 8gb RAM.
As of now it's running on 4 GB RAM. Anyone got a fix? Is Windows 10 the problem?

Can't boot from USB
Hello, I have a Dell xps l412z and I want to boot a Linux Live USB but apparently it doesn't work.
I press F12 to change the boot device, and there's no exist any option related to USB devices, only something like "Diskette drive". When I choose that option, apparently try to boot the USB device, but jus stay there with a text header with the following message: "SYSLINUX 4.0.2".
I downloaded the A06 version of the BIOS driver and nothing change. Also, In the BIOS setup doesn't appear any option related to secure boot or something like that.
Is this a known issue or maybe there's something that I can do to fix my problem?
Thanks,

Inspiron 17 N7010 Windows 7 re-install
I have an inspiron that came with windows 7 and was upgraded to windows 10 by Microsoft. Things didn't work well from the start so I looked on the Dell support site and saw that my laptop would not / was not capabile to run windows 10. I then ran the restore to windows 7 function in windows 10. It said it completed, but will not boot, just goes in a loop. I contaacted Microsoft who said I needed to contact Dell since the software was installed by them. I contacted Dell and they said since my warranty is up, they will help me for a mere $129 an hour! I tried to download the re-install disks from Dell, but can't since my warranty has expired. Is there anyone that can help? Either in this forum or who works for Dell?

Does this indicate the keyboard is backlit or non-backlit? Thanks for any help.

Upgraded to Windows 10 and XPS 13 touchpad stopped workin
Upgraded to Win 10 and screen started to flicker, then touchpad stopped working. So I downgraded to WIn 7. It fixed the screen flicker issue, but the touchpad still does not work. (I'm using a plug in mouse do type this.
The "download" drivers utility on Dell support just keeps cycling until it times out. How the heck do I download the drivers for the trackpad and get this think working again?

Studio 1745 doesn't work
Ever since I got my Studio 1745 it has been nothing but trouble. A few years ago it looked like a had a virus and was told by Dell support that I needed to reload the bios and clean my hard drive. I did as suggested, then loaded the Windows 7 disks. It didn't work !
When I try to boot the computer I get a message saying it can not read the hard drive or the DVD drive and that I need to install windows. The windows installation disc is the DVD drive but it will not eject.
When the problems started (before erasing the hard drive or reinstalling the bios) the computer would not recognize the feed from my router, function buttons for wireless connection would not work either, the DVD eject didn't work. In short everything stopped working.
I am sick and tired of looking at a computer that I paid good money and have not gotten much use out of it. Is there a permanent fix or should I bite the bullet and throw it in the trash?
Thank You
