Dell Inspiron 5100 Wireless Mini-pci Network Card Card - P0906 Questions & Answers
Wifi problems
Please check the drivers and if possible reinstal the drivers for wireless card
My wireless internet shows connected, but it won't display a page
My Dell Inspiron Mini 10 would not connect to wireless Internet. Tried all the fixes but only restore to previous date worked. Last time I restored I got message: "Windows could not start because the following file is missing or corrupt: <Windows root>\system32\ntoskrnl.exe. Please re-install a copy of the above file." I could not find any way to fix this so I tried to restore to original factory. I followed directions, f12 boot from CD but when I get to "Agree to Licensing Agreement" none of the keys work except ESC. I was able to get on the Dell Tech Chat at http://support.dell.com/support/topics/global.aspx/support/chat/hardware_chat?c=us&cs=19&l=en&s=dhs (you need your Service Tag) tried same steps I did but keys would not work so they sent me a new hard drive that I can install myself.
Evidently there is no way to fix this. Tech says wireless will work with new hard drive. I hope so.

Make sure you have the laptop reading the same type of encryption that your router is brodcasting. Also make sure you are using proper network key. I know that some network keys are case sensative. Good Luck

Unable to connect to the Internet
Check to see if your wireless card is displayed under “Network Adaptors” in “Device Manager”. You can access the "Device Manager" by going to the 'Control Panel", "Administrative Tools", "Computer Management" and select "Device Manager" located in the left side column. If it is detected and there are no alerts or errors, try uninstalling the wi-fi card, reboot the laptop and reinstall the drivers.

Wireless card w 9242 - where is it in the 5100 Insperion???
On the Inspiron 5100, the wireless card can be accessed thru a door on the bottom of the laptop.
1) Remove AC power and Battery
2) Turn the computer over, loosen the captive screw (labeled "circle C") in the modem/Mini PCI card cover, and lift the cover away from the computer.
3) Disconnect the Wireless card from the attached cables. These are the Antenna wires.
4) Use your fingertips to carefully spread apart the securing taps on each side of the Wireless card until the card pops up.
5) Remove the Wireless card.

How do you install a hard drive
Larry provides great answer up there ^^^ which is better down here.

NO PC told (dell has 10000 models)
no OS told, windows what"?
no drive told.
my wild wild guess is the boot drive is locked.
and you are attempting and ******* act. to it.
like deleting key parts of a running OS (windows) (like deleted tires on rims of 85mph moving car, fails)
no real goal told, but the nebular "install HDD"
one can add a 2nd drive easy or any of 1000s of external HDD models or external or internal, SSD or even a thumb drive. (vast) (just 2 steps in fact)
but the boot drive , change out is far far far more complex. and you never not told that.
you want to mess with the C: drive?
now let me guess the real goal (sad I must)
the OS drive windows is failing ( common)
and some lil' bird told you it needs a new boot drive, and then fail to say so here.
okay I will bite.
1: buy a new SSD (hdd fail and are slow)
2: buy a new OS, from MS. or get free w10. (ask how)
3: then put in new SSD,
4: run the w10 installer media (it is free)
5: load w10 to the SSD fresh
6: answer the silly 30 questions it asks.
7: and click activate. (buy it)
..
How do i change admin password
can;t log in now or what?
what does change mean,
lost it and now can not get in
or means just want to change it , logged in.
NO PC told and NO OS told
or if bios admin or windows admin.
bios or windows.
both are hacking./ if lost.
so google the cure.
