Problem for Dell Latitude D800 PC Notebook
Cannot detect hard drive
By stoodleysnow on Aug 30, 2006
I need to find out how to repair a laptop hard drive to make it detectable again. I bought one on ebay but it was damaged in the post. How can I save money by making it detectable again? My dell laptop cannot detect it (there is no prob with the laptop itself)(tested it)

- I have since found that Dell (being awkward folk) require an interface adaptor to be between the hard drive and the laptop. Standard 2.5" IDE actually does not fit the laptop's internal connector. A special connector must also be purchased. Having now done this I have found it works fine.Same Problem

- I believe I have the same issue. I just purchased a new hard drive and my Inspiration 1150 is not seeing the drive. Where do you get the connector?- katcarBest Solution

Unfortunately, you have to have the hard drive installed and running to do a manufacturer on line test, or if you have a usb cable with a 2.5" adapter on other end to connect to a pc to see if it runs or is readable.
Not all hardrives work in all laptops, try to fit same make as removed if you already have'nt.
Although, why keep something that was damaged in the post, try for a return.
