When I purchased this Desktop in early September, I was told by Dell sales that it was ready to install a second internal drive. When I opened it up, it had no bay for any additional drives. Dell Finally got the caddy and cables needed and shipped them to me at an additional cost. The problem is this, the caddy does not fit. My question and reason for posting, maybe it's something I did wrong in trying to install it, so has anyone else purchased this slim caddy kit and successfully installed the caddy in their ECS1250 desktop and if so any tricks as how you got it installed?

If your system is under warranty and you're experiencing this or a similar issue, we recommend using the Get Help Now chat for faster support. To ensure a smooth experience: Have your Service Tag ready. You’ll initially interact with a virtual assistant, but you can request to speak with a live agent at any time.

I GOT IT! I found a Video of the ECS1250 with the HHD Caddy installed...and it showed how to remove it. Strange it would show removal and not Install. When the caddy was removed I saw that the Frame of the 1250 where the caddy fits....it did not look like mine...my frame was level, the Video showed the frame as indented the width of the caddy. Looking closer at the 1250's frame, I saw a medal Pc of the frame that with the removal of 1 screw that pc could be removed....did so and the HHD caddy fit with no issues. The 1250's Owners Manual How to Install the caddy....does NOT mention anything about removing a medal slot to accommodate the caddy's' install. All's good. The other issue for me is, this is the 1st dell Desktop I have purchased, and I have have purchased 7 Desktops...that did NOT come with a extra Internal HDD slot....and you had to Buy it.....

Cannot access windows management instrumentation software

When trying to view my system information, this appears. "Cannot access windows management instrumentation software. Windows Management files may be moved or missing". Along with that, i am not able to view the bios, system manufacture and system model in dxdiag. All it says is N/A. Is there any fix for this? WMI service is running in services as well. These are the images of the problem. http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k130/flipjb89/error1.jpg http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k130/flipjb89/error2.jpg
