Solve : Want to install a second hard drive? |

Answer» Need your Service Tag number to be sure. Go to Dell.com, support and enter your model number and service tag - look for product specs.Ok Ill go do that right now. Also, if win 95 doesnt work, will 98? I dont mind if i have to use 98 (rather would like 95, but 98 is cool too lol). Or do you think 2000 or ME is better? Like i said, just for fooling around on, no real purpose..... so like what was your fave of the ones I mentioned?ok so unfortunately I went to the site and tried to find specs, but they really dont have that option Tho every part for the comp hard drives all said SATA...What's your service tag #?Here is my pic I was gonna post before lol hope it helps OK I found this from google, and it seems that the xps 400 has a SATA drive:I didn't look at the forum you referenced. You ought to be capable of going to the Dell website, clicking on Support and finding your specific computer and it's specs. Why you would want to go to an old forum THREAD to find out what is in your computer escapes me. You've gone from SATA to PATA to SATA - find out what is correct for your system before you order a new drive. For what it's worth, the picture that you posted had a SATA power connection shown. Purchase the appropriate hard drive. Ask in the Software section if 95 and/or 98 need to be installed on a C:. Good luck. EDIT: If you have a SATA drive, ask about SATA drivers in 95 and/or 98.clearly if it's ultra ATA, use the ide cable. if you want and you have a spare port use SATA then buy a harddrive that is compatible. If you also have IDE in it then you can use Ultra ATAI cannot see the pic you posted... |
