Where can I find drivers for IBM Deskstar 34GXP DPTA-371020 hard drive?

I am not an expert in such things but I think if you use a widely available adaptor that will power the old hard drive and provide usb connectivity your Windows 7 should be able to read and allow you to move files, as long as the old drive and the WIN 7 are both 32 BIT (or 64)...

No power to my IBM wheelwriter 3500. It just died

Best probability is the power supply inside the machine has failed. Could be internal fuse no usually. This is generally a major repair.

How do i get a driver for a 2005 IBM thinkvision 9419 hx7 monitor for windows 10

Win10 should auto-detect it; so it should need a driver from it manufacture. Assuming the monitor is properly functioning, and if you are still having problems: 1) Use the most up-to-date connection such as HDMI, DVI, or Display Port 2) Then with the monitor connected, force a Windows update. 3) Make sure the display adapter's resolution matches one of the monitor's supported resolutions.

Try it on another desktop computer. If that works, try another printer on the suspect computer. I have seen cases where a baby AT motherboard was upgraded, but the printer cable/header assembly from the old motherboard was used and caused problems, but that is very rare. Also, the cable connecting to the motherboard could be backwards or loose.Posted on Aug 28, 2008
