Need help reloading drivers to Dell Inspiron 6000 Just installed new hard & optical drives & Can't get online
We have a Dell desktop and a laptop (Inspiron 6000) with high speed cable internet. The laptop's CDRW/DVD started skipping ONE DAY after the warranty expired. The hard drive was damaged (children) - so I purchased a new hard drive and optical drive from Dell. When the Inspiron was new it did not come with an XP drivers disc. I tried installing the XP disc from our desktop to the laptop but it's a couple years older and none of my other discs will load. It says I need .NET 1.1 or higher. I cannot get online with the laptop because it says my internal network card is not installed or was diabled. How do I get the correct XP drivers and the network card working again? Can I download the drivers from Dell and burn them onto a CD from my PC and then load them to the laptop?
I fear I know just enough about computers to get me into trouble, but don't want to try anything stupid.
Should I have spent $500 on a new laptop or was spending $150 on the new drives a better deal? HELP!
Yes, you can download the drivers and burn them to a CD with your desktop. The best way is to burn the network wireless drivers, install them on your laptop and download the rest of your drivers directly on your laptop.
Points to Consider About Optical Storage Media
Among all types of storage media, optical drives (like CDs, CDR’s) are the newest invention. Manufacturers have designed these juke boxes so as to offer better data manageability, effective data storage and most importantly to overcome the faults which a mechanical media like hard drive possesses. Users have accepted them from different perspectives; some consider them as the advanced and worth data storage media, while, some still doubt about their loyalty to sustain data.
As stated earlier, optical disks are far away from the mechanical concept. Actually, the data reading or writing is treated with the laser beams which touch the targeted area and lets you access data. From this point, they are less likely to capture physical wear and tear as a hard drive gets from the head crash, but, on contrary its surface exposure makes it prone to damage. The soft layer of plastic may get scratches from other source, which is not there in the hard drive as platters are packed in the suitable casings.
Hard disks are fixed in a system, while, optical disks demands frequent data recovery as of mobile conduct. For the rarely used data, no doubt, optical disks sound good, but if this is the frequent data used, make sure you don’t make any mistake. Keep in mind that more usage means more rotation for optical disks which can unfortunately make them shaky beyond a limit.
Though all the storage media have a limited life span and none of them is made for endless time period, but this varies. Optical disks have comparatively less shelf life as compared to hard disks. This would be better if you maintain backup copies of worth data or else data recovery would be needed. However, up to which extent you are careful about your media also determines the life of optical disks. If you have read the care manual of optical disks and are successfully implementing it in practice, then sure you are a good optical disk owner.
As far as the speed of access is concerned, hard disks prove better. While accessing data randomly, optical disks have slow performance record. The optical disks heads are slow to retrieve data, may due to the heavy mass.
Optical disks are in use, it is due to reasons that they are light in weight which make them movable. They have good storage capacity and data retaining reliability as compared to other movable media. But, at the end, they can get damaged and may render data inaccessibility.
Though as per the data needs, organizations are having critical information stored on these optical disks, but at the time of data loss disaster, real ruinous conditions may arise. But, fortunately, data recovery industry has an answer to recover lost data. Data recovery software are available which can prove helpful for extracting the lost data with the best possibility.
Actually, CD data recovery is the help which the data recovery engineers offer for the inaccessible CDs. They follow up the advanced scanning techniques and offer data recovery. Though data residing at the scratched are is far beyond data recovery abilities, but still you can hope for the rest data.
Stellar offers a powerful application called Stellar Phoenix CDRom Data Recovery which scans and recovers lost data. This proves valuable for data recovery in cases like CD corruption, volume descriptor damage, TOC corruption and similar others. With the powerful scanning algorithms, this works for the best in data recovery.
