No wonder why the harddrive is not working in your laptop.
I should have looked up the inspiron 6000 before, it uses SATA harddrives.

The Samsung drive will not work in your laptop because it runs the PATA interface.
You would need a SATA harddrive for your laptop

Email the place you bought your harddrive from and return it. Tell them the situation, and they should refund you.
You can buy much better SATA harddrives.

Sorry for the mistake, I should have read more into your situation
