D420 hard drive
Does anyone know if you can use a SSD in a Latitude D420? The old drive died and we tried putting in a 64 gb SSD but all we get is that the computer does not find any drive. Is there some setting in the Bios we need to change? Thanks

The system needs a 1.8" parallel ATA (NOT SATA) SSD - - these aren't all that common but they do exist:

The SSD is a PATA drive but still will not show up.

then get an old 7200rpm hard drive instead, d430 may not support ssds.

Does the BIOS see the drive? F2 at powerup.
Dell shipped some of these with 1.8" Sandisk SSDs, so SSDs WILL work with the system.

No the bios doesn't see it. Thought there might be some setting I need to change but can't find anything. Guess I'll check with Dell tomorrow when they open. Thanks for trying.
