recently i have freshly installed my vista ultimate operating system. today when i was trying to copy a file from my F drive to I drive it gave me
warning "Destination Folder Access Denied". then curiously i tried to another drive and found that all of the drive is restricted.
i require to do couple of more click to copy or transfer files from one to another. how can i get rid of this problem and why it's happening?
I just had a chat session with HP Tech Spt to determine how to transfer my Vista 64 OS from one laptop, which was stolen, to another HP laptop that came with Windows XP on it. TS said it was IMPOSSIBLE. The chat session is posted at the bottom of this msg.
When I first bought the laptop that was stolen, I copied the Vista product key from the bottom of it. Since I am installing the same OS, I am hoping it will work using an MS phone activation.
Can anyone here validate or refute what HP Tech Spt said? It doesn't seem legal or correct since I purchased the OS and hold a product key for it.......
I recently purchased an Inspiron 17R SE and have been trying to move all my files, music, videos, etc. from my old desktop PC.
I've successfully transferred about 750GB of data to my USB3.0 backup drive. When I plug it into my new laptop, it appears fine and I can start copying files from it. However, after about 5 minutes of copying, it stops and the Windows Explorer windows close. If I try again, it copies fine for 5 minutes then everything stops again.
I've tried plugging the drive into different ports but the same problem occurs. I've also tried plugging it into a different PC and I can copy the files no problem.
my Inspiron 1545 dvd/cd player has stopped copying and ejects the disc everytime i try!!
View 2 Replies View RelatedI've just purchased a VAIO CW2 (VPCCW2S1E) and did a format and fresh install of Windows 7 x64 to rid myself of all the bloatware. The problem is that copying to, from and between external USB flash/harddrives is now extremely slow - often a couple of hundred kb/s, and sometimes 2-3 Mb/s, when the speed should be 20 Mb/s+. I've had the drives for a while and they work flawlessly over USB 2.0 with other computers. I know that USB copying speed was normal before the format as I copied the Windowsdrivers folder to a USB harddrive, though that folder was only a few hundred Mb.
I assume I missed installing some USB chipset driver after the format, though I have installed the following:
1. IPS_Driver_1.0_10Q1_O_1.0.0.1030 (unsure what this is)
2. SATA_Driver_Intel_Non-RAID_8.9X64_E_8.9.4.1004
3. SFEP_Driver_Sony_8.0_10Q1_O_7_8.0.1.1 (unsure what this is)
The list of available drivers is here: [url]
I've installed Windows 7 on a fair number of computers and never had this problem; how typical then that it should happen on my own laptop
I am trying to copy some dmg files from my mbp to an external hard drive (a western digital 1tb essential, and a 250gb wd passport). I get this "error code 0" when I try to copy the files larger than 4gb. Now I heard that this is because it is a fat32 drive or something like that. Is there a way to fix this without buying a different hard drive?

I already tried this but it didn't quite work out as advertised for me. Is there a quick, easy way to get just the playlists and ratings over to my new computer?
What's the best way to move everything from my current t540p to the new one? Both have same OS, win7. I was thinking of backing up on USB external hard drive and then restoring?

Is there any way I can copy the entire contents of the hard disk onto an external USB hard disk (everything so that I don't lose desktop icons, filing structure e.t.c.) and then restore it when I get a new machine?
Whenever I'm copying files over the network to/from my M6400 Covet, I lose network connection.
I get the 'Limited Connectivity' message in Vista 64. It seems to happen for larger files transfers only.
I have the latest software from Dell already. My solution is to restart the laptop.
I've bought this laptop back in 2008. Upgraded to windows 7 in Oct 2009.
I've always kept my laptop flat on my desk with no laptop cooler. My laptop has only been getting reallllly hot this pass month.
Attached is the HWmonitor graphic.
Is there more to this than just needing a laptop cooler?
When will the price of the m1530 come down?
I want it, but it costs a lot..
After christmas maybe? Or am I better off getting something else?.
I do live in canada so none of those amazing $400 off Inspiron/vostro coupons work...
I have an older m1530 from around when they were first released and I'm wondering If I could take advantage of more than 4GB of ram?

Most everything don't work. I can't get online, a lot of programs don't work, such as trying to right or left click in the taskbar and other places... nothing happens.
I tried system restore to before she got the computer and nothing changes.
I've ran AVG and spy bot and it found some stuff, supposedly fix them, but the problems remain. I defragged too.
So what to try next? Reformat? I don't want to if I don't have to.
I own a XPS M1530. I wanna upgrade the RAM from 2 to 4 GB..........................
View 3 Replies View RelatedSo I'm having heat issues with my m1530...but that seems to be the norm.
So I've got a Dell tech coming out to replace the mobo & fan/ heatsink.
Do you guys know if the Dell tech will remove the old thermal paste, and use some AS5 (provided by me of course) instead of the crappy Dell thermal paste?
If not, when would be the best time for me to do it? Right away, or should I let the thermal paste set before I remove, and replace it?
I'm getting ready to order a new m1530, but can't decide on Ram options. I know with 32-bit Vista, it only recognizes ~3.2GB of RAM, so would the benefit of 3.2GB Dual Channel be worth the upgrade from 3GB non-DC?
Has anyone noticed any problems with Aero when using non-DC?
I've just gone to install win 7 when I ran into a big thread about m1530 and x64 win7 here on the forum (in which there's no answer to this question).
I am interested what the differences are between x64 and x86 Windows 7 on m1530(i.e. in stability, performance, driver availability, else...).
My configuration is:
Intel core2duo 2.1GHz T8100
4 GB ram
GeForce 8600 GT
Intel 82801HEM/HBM SATA AHCI controller - says device manager (500GB hdd)
Intel PRO/ Wireless 3945ABG .....
Building an M1530 from parts and got the LED screen, Chimei part number N154C6-L02 with cable N849D.
Here is the problem; looking at the cable there is a connection for what could be an inverter/converter but I cannot find a part number from Dell or anywhere else.
Does anyone know what part this is and where I can get one? Is it the same as other Dell models with the WSXGA+ LED?
I have an XPS M1530 that's just shy of 6 months old.
Over the past 3-odd months I have begun to notice some things that I REALLY dislike about this laptop.
1. It gets UNBEARABLY hot. I'm afraid I might not be able to have kids if I use it as intended (ie: on my lap)
2. It can't play TF2, CSS or HL2 at all low settings. That's ridiculous. I suspect that may have something to do with the poor thermals.
3. Its battery life is ridiculously short. Not much of a problem in everyday life, but something that really gets to me on those >6 hour intercontinental flights.
4. The Fingerprint Application (psqltray.exe) seems to dislike Vista x64. I've caught it using up to 1,000,000K of memory.
5. The internals are of TERRIBLE quality. The heatsink offers no reassurance about thermal performance whatsoever.
6. Dell tech support is beyond incompetent. I do believe my 11-year old sister knows more about hardware problems than the 2 people I spoke to.
Can I call Dell over for a physical inspection of the laptop? I divide my time between India and Los Angeles, but most of my time is spent in LA and the laptop was bought here.
i had a XPS M1530 since Jan,2008(When first release). couple of weeks ago when there was an issue with my media buttons dell decided to change the whole system as they were not been able to fix it.
actually the light(Blue surroundings lights when once touched the media buttons) was not as brighter as they were suppose to b. when i first bought the system these lights were really brighter. but a month ago when the buttons were not working properly dell replace the whole Media Hinges Cover. i found the lights really deemed. then they again changes the hinge cover. but still the same. third times they changed the mother board, but nothing fixes the problem, i mean every times it's deemed media buttons. so they changed my whole system.
the new XPS M1530(replacement) i have received a couple of weeks. but u know guys, i was surprised to see that these media buttons r also deemed. and it was assembled in Poland where the old one was in Ireland. also i have found another changes that is, the screen light is much more brighter. something like Blueish. i don't know if it is good or bad. one of my house mate has got his old xps m1530. so i did compare just putting his one right next to my system.
they also changed hdd. my previous one was Fujitsu and this one they have put Hitachi. this hdd make little noise than previous one.
i could complain to dell and keep replacing the parts but i didn't, u know guys why, bcz this new system came along with Processor 2.5Ghz where my previous one was 2.2Ghz.
I put it on the table and started to work... At first i heard clicks from HDD. Then i downloaded HDparm and done what there were said:
"Just install HDPARM and run the "unclick.exe".
You can put a shortcut into the windows "autostart" folder to run it directly on boot"
After that clicks form hdd gone...
But today i took it on sofa and when i picked UP it i heard like scrpas clicks FROM HDD. and in vista all started to slow.... then i didn't moving it and when i moved it (picked up) again - again this....
I downloaded HD Tune and done some tests.
CANT post here picture but the graph was like if its standing its all going straight but when i picked first it falls down and vista slows down .. and then i put it back on table but when i pick up it again and starting walking slowly its started to beep clicks and etc. and again the line was fall down 3 times (to the transfer rate minimum) ...
2) This was when i was moving slowly it like walking and i heard clicks ... sounds from it and A BEEP like sound 2 times..
1) thats when i picked up it only.

I now have 8 gb of ram on my xps m1530 using the A11 bios update.
I want to thank Rhodan for the idea and the original poster of the A13 bios for m1330 thread. I downloaded the a11 update and installed it. I then installed my other 4 gb sodimm and bios recognized it and windows recognizes it. this is awesome.
Kudos to Dell for listening to its ideastorm ideas and implementing the ones that really matter to us users.
So I've had my laptop a year and a half and it has always gotten very hot to the touch. Right now it is at 60 degrees C. Earlier it was up to 68 I believe. Is this normal? Also I don't ever hear a fan on and I'm not sure if it even works. Is there anyway to test this? Or am I overreacting to the temperature?

I have the M1530 2,4GHz 8600M GT 4GB RAM, Windows XP SP3
I know that the M1530 is not a killer gaming machine but it cant be that bad or what do you think ?
Can any dell xps m1530 take 8G of memory? I see on line that you have the option to pick 2 to 4 or 4 to 8.
but if you pick the config with 4 gigs it list 4g the highest. but you can do config 8gigs and get 4, 6,8g options.
does it require a different motherboard or will a one year old 1530 work with 8gigs?
Most reports of the dead GPU problem seem to be from M1330 users with the 8400GS, has anyone had a 8600GT fail on them..?
View 10 Replies View RelatedAlright I bought a refurbished laptop for $900 and the performance has been terrific. Now i have several minor problems i like to point out to see if this is normal or not and if its not i like to have it fix.
The first picture shows the plastic (whats the name for that?) isnt flush against the frame .....
To everyone who owns/owned an M1530:
When was the last time you had your mobo/gpu/heatsink/fans replaced because of overheating? Dell is claiming to have "fixed" it by putting in new chipsets. So now I want to see when this "fix" occurred.
