Inspiron 1525 sata driver

Mike Jackson. I found that there's enough slop at the rear of the drive tray opening that the drive was sliding in and just slipping below the drive connector - which I only discovered by removing the main cover panel from the underside of the laptop. Once I could see what was happening, I was able to tilt the drive up using the moulded edge cover and slot it straight in.

Before that, sliding the drive in there was a convincing sense of resistance and then applying a bit more pressure it seemed to slot into place. The moulded outer cover even seemed to align well. Rebooted and drive is now recognised. Another "check the power supply first" moment! Very interesting idea on the thickness of the drive. I suspect that upgrading to Windows 10 had nothing to do with the problem. But, moving the SSD in and out of the laptop to do backups may have caused a problem with the seating of the disk.

Since then I have tried a zillion reboots, boot settings, etc with no luck. Tomorrow, I will try to add something to the thickness of the SSD and see if that works.

I'm running out of options but I really would like to get the SSD working because it re markedly speeds up the system. I couldn't wait until tomorrow to try this.

I added a couple of pieces of cardboard to the bottom of the disk compartment. The SSD works great now. I sure wish I had seen the post above about 40 hours ago. As I mentioned above, I had tried just about everything. Kudos to whoever discovered this problem I have the exact same problem, I had to use a 2 mm expansion bracket, typically comes with solid-state hard drive's or somewhere on eBay.

Worked fine after that. Santosh Kumar Ghosh. Fix Your Stuff Community Store. Back Answers Index. Dell Inspiron PC laptop by Dell with a Wade Lodge Rep: 1 3 1. View the answer I have this problem too Subscribed to new answers. Is this a good question?
