Hi Everyone, I am new to this just joined 2 days ago so I dont know if I am posting this in the right place or not so forgive me if its wrong...
I am in desperate need of help I have many issues on many devices but I will start off with one at a time.
I have a Dell Latitude D410 running XP pro version 2002 with service pack 3, Intel(R) Pentium(R)M, processor 1.86GHz, 504 MB RAM. I am trying to change my memory and hard drive I switched the memory on the bottom of the computer not under the keyboard, but when I put the new hard drive and memory in my laptop wouldnt turn on so I put the old memory back in and still wouldnt turn on so I put my old hard drive in and it turned back on. I got an external cloning device because I thought if I cloned my old hard driver maybe it would turn on with the new hard drive if it cloned the old one on it. I went thru whole process following the instructions that came with the cloning device but it said it needs another hard drive to clone to but I had the new one in it, its as if my laptop isnt reading it for some reason. Also it says there is no D drive partition. I need help quick cause I ram a diagnostic on Dells website and it couldnt finish it cause it said my hard drive was about to crash and I can tell it is cause its running so slow I cant hardly do anything with it and I use it for work. Pleeeease help I hope someone knows what I am talking about I am not very computer literate so I hope its not too confusing and I gave the right info.:??
