Ibm Hard Drive Error 2010
parts 4.4 Upgrade the drive firmware 4.4.1 Drives that work out of the box 4.4.2 Drives that will work after a ibm t43 hard drive compatibility firmware update 4.4.3 Drives which produce an error and are not t43 bios known to have working firmware 4.5 Use an Ultrabay adapter 4.6 BIOS downgrade 5 Links Problem Description When replacing the system disk with one that is not a ThinkPad option designed for the specific model, the BIOS will display an "Error 2010" warning during every boot. The system may still boot successfully, but may be unreliable or slow. Additionally, the following ATA commands are implemented by ThinkPad-branded drives but are not supported by most other laptop drives: UNLOAD IMMEDIATE (needed for the Active Protection System; see Problem with APS harddisk parking) SECURITY FEATURE SET (needed for disk password protection) Affected Models The "Error 2010" issue exists only on the following models: ThinkPad T43, T43p ThinkPad R52 ThinkPad X41, X41 Tablet Missing ATA commands affect all ThinkPad models which normally offer these features. Status The error is displayed when the system drive is not one of the few approved disks listed inside the BIOS, and may indicate a real problem. These systems have a SATA disk controller, and employ a SATA-to-PATA bridge in order to use PATA (IDE) drives. It is rumored that this bridge requires changes in the drive firmware, and the BIOS checks for this adapted firmware. If bridge is bypassed while using SATA, device will likewise be tested against whitelist. Recent BIOSs provide the option to disable the need to press Esc after the message (for ThinkPad T43 models 26xx, BIOS version 1.24 or higher). There are no such issues for disks used in the UltraBay Slim 2nd Hard Drive Adapter. IBM problem discussion Solutions Use unofficial modified BIOS On Nov 21, 2010 was released unoff

Get the answer xxnate0623xx July 18, 2011 5:57:48 PM Error 2010 is very infamous among older T-Series ThinkPads. Generally, this is because the hard drives you are using are not in the very specific list of hard drives the BIOS looks for. This isn't necessarily a problem, and if your computer is running fine, you don't need to fix it. If you want to, here's how... The easiest way to fix this is to get a hard drive that comes packaged with the T43's. Easy fix, but hard to come by. Certain hard drives can get a firmware fix, but very few of them will make a difference. A good fix would be to use a modded BIOS (don't worry, it's identical to normal BIOS without the 2010 error). Before you do anything, I suggest you take a look at the bottom of your laptop and find the TYPE XXXX Sticker. You NEED to know this number when you download the upgrade for your BIOS. Here's the site where you can find all of these solutions. Choose the proper link with your type number on this site. http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Problem_with_non-ThinkPad... NOTE: IT IS ESSE
