WD5000LPVT not detected on Dell Inspiron 1525

Hello,

I have a Dell Inspiron 1525, recently I bought WD5000LPVT to replace WD1600BEVT. 

After replacing new drive my laptop does not detect WD5000LPVT at all, However I have fixed it inside other HP laptop and installed XP which is working fine,

I already have searched forums with dell, inspiron 1525 and WD5000LPVT but did not yeild any results.

also have tried changing the ATA and AHCI modes, did not work.

My Inspiron 1525 does not detect WD5000LPVT, while working fine with WD1600BEVT, please help me.

Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.

thanks.

Hi,

Check with the computer manufacture to see if your computer supports a 500GB drive.
