Yes, just set them all. Then anything you plug in won't mess up your drive letter system.

Second HD for XPS 400
Published (2009-11-11 13:46:00)
Your system uses a SATA hard drive of your choice. A hard drive bracket should already be there to accept the second hard drive and a power plug will also be there. You will need to supply a SATA cable. http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/systems/xps400/sm/parts.htm#wp1060547

Seagate Momentus Firmware update...
Published (2009-11-04 10:37:00)
I still like the WD or Hitachi drives the best. Seems like Dell is trying to save money and lower their quality by putting in cheaper products. Sometimes cheaper does not save money as this thread and others about Seagates made for Dell proves. I am sure they have lost money on returns and time spent trying to correct the problems. Being Seagate doesn't appear to be concerned in helping Dell and Dell has to use up the drives they have...

XPS 8000 Hard Drive Mounting Kit...

I used a 5.25" mounting bracket to mount the HDD into the empty CD-ROM bay. It'll do since I had no choice. LOL

Hi, dg27:
XP will assign letters for removable drives as needed, and also change them as needed. My suggestion for external drives is to assign a higher letter and then it's not going to be reassigned. My back-up drive is W. You can do this in disk management.

Is that the most up-to-date driver you have for the CD-ROM? If it isn't, then make sure you download the most recent one. A couple things you can do that might work: (1) disable then reenable the driver. I did that under Safe Mode when my drive was taking in but not reading the disks. Don't rule out hardware, but my guess is that this is most likely software. If that doesn't work (2) Uninstall ...

No drive indicates upper and lower filters problem OR Chipset problem.

I have the same problem.
I want to split the one partition in two.
I made chances with a few tools but with no one I see a possibility.
A few tools on base linux show the RAID1 as 2 harddrives - I think this is the problem: the SATA-Controller gives the
Please, Dell, say us quick in which way we can make changes to the existing partition!!!

Contact Support and have them replace the drive or replace the whole computer. You should not have to update the firmware on a new computer.

Hi, jwhitehouse88:
Check your CPU during BR playback. Let me know if PowerDVD is using 100%. If you're not sure how to check this, there's a little utility called Process Explorer that will do the trick.

Hi, treborl:
I do not believe you are limited to a certain hard drive size in that system. However, you need to use an XP disc that includes at least SP1 for drives larger than 137GB.

Hi, Jimmymedalions:
Actually, 7.96GB is correct for a DL disc. Sounds like your drive is working fine!

Hi, amyjomckinney:
First, your DVD should be tested using the Dell diagnostics. Boot the computer and hit F12, then pick the utility partition. Pick Custom test, then run the READ test on your drive with a data disc in the drive. Let me know if the test passes or fails and any error codes.
Second, the memory stick. Keep in mind that there are many versions of these things. Your system can ...
