I was told this was the one for my Dell Inspirion. Problem is the working in of the drive does not fit the working in of this box. What Now ??

I don't know. I am not an IT expert. I bought the item just like you did and I am having issues with the SSD in my laptop and assured it would work. It first would not read the operating systen after I cloned the SSD. Now it doesn't recognize the drive. I am a little ticked at the seller as I believe they knew there was a compatibility issue and lied to me.

You probably need an SATA external case. If your drive is not IDE, then this one will not connect. If your drive is over 500GB then this will also not work. I used it for an old 80GB IDE drive, and it worked perfectly.

I assume you were taking the drive from your inspiron? Like previous answer you need a SATA enclosure if this one does not have the right connectors. This one is only for very old drives. Also you're getting the drive from a desktop (not a laptop) you need the 3.5" enclosure.

The "Tusi" answer is probably correct. I bought mine from "Ken's Computer shop" and they were able to respond specifically that it would work in my Dell Dimension E310. I couldn't find the info in email -- maybe the guy responded in an online forum or on the phone.

Are you sure this particular batter is compatible with you model of Dell?I had no problems with mine. You may also try reinstalling the battery. When I tried to install the first time I didn't get the battery seated properly. Beyond that I am at a loss.

Sorry, I don't understand the question. I don't know much about the drive. The one in my Dell Inspiron failed and this was a good economical replacement.

Hi Margot, I honestly couldn't tell you. Do you have the model number of your Dell Inspiron 15? There is another site I use that is pretty detailed in finding it. It's called www.laptops4less.com I have ordered from them before and they are reputable. Sorry I couldn't help you more. :\

I don't know the answer, I would suggest Dell should answer that. Or look for a model that has native solid state drive.

Andrew, That's a generic Seagate drive but the Dell version you would need is Dell Part # W347K. Order that part # and you should be good. I hope this helps answer your question. Scott All Computer Parts

Mine did not work. This drive is sata and I needed a pata drive. Double check. I have done these replacements before And they work great. Just do your research and insure you are purchasing the correct interface.

Just make sure that your computer does use one of those model numbers. My Dell Computer has a model number on it, so that's what I ordered. If you did order the right model number, than send it back if it doesn't work, I would.

I have it installed in a Dell Studio 1735 laptop as the primary drive. If it is to be a secondary drive, you will probably need a kit that includes a bracket and a connector adapter. If you don't have the same model laptop, I suggest you contact Crucial.

This laptop model looks very recent according to its specs on the Dell site. With that said I am sure this drive will work in this laptop. If Dell has some weird mounting hardware that does not work with this drive you can always return it but I don't forsee that as a problem.

Just reviewed the specs on the Dell Inspirion 1100 and it looks like the computer supports EIDE and ATA internal drives so this drive should work. My only concern would be some sort of propriety connection that Dell might have used but you should be able to pull the adapter off the old drive and plug it into this one.

go to the dell support site and put in the info of this memory to see if it"s compatible with your machine check with dell first to see if it"s the right memory. I hope that I help you out with this info.

This drive will work in your Inspiron if it has IDE. If your Inspiron has SATA or PATA, it will not work

It was a poor fit in my Dell also - not sure where they got the dimensions for the card body. But otherwise, I am having nothing but trouble trying to install the drivers. Been dealing with tech help and we are into our fourth go 'round. Best Wishes.

Dell has told me via chat that they sell a dvd drive for this computer. I was told to contact their parts department. I have not done this yet because I already have an external drive from my old laptop. And I'm not sure if its a big deal.

it will fit most dell's with SATA , you might have ta use the original face plate, it fit's my dell inspiron 1525, and my 1501, it's been good to me, no problems since i bought, but nothing's perfect, i would buy another one though
