I suspect it had.... glad its an old thinkpad.... just walk over to the nearest waste bin and drop it in there unless you need a paperweight!... ibm security was good then as it is now ... writing to the eeprom ... you wo'nt even be able to use the harddrive on another machine... unlocking both will cost $$$'s.....

Compaq has a button that you can press while doing this..

Old drive seems to be a dud but when I install a new drive I get a error http://www.computing.net/answers/windows-95/error-174-on-ibm-thinkpad-380d/170311.html 174 (configuration error). What am I missing to install a new drive? Drive I am replacing is a 2G IBM. Drive I am trying is a 2G Toshiba. I also tried a 3G IBM - always error 174. All drives are OK in my 600 (except the one we are trying to replace) any help for me?

Make sure you have installed the drive properly in the caddy and didn't put the flex cable on wrong. 2. Make sure that you have a good connection in the 760EL. It's common to not have the drive properly seated. You might want to try putting in the drive with the flex cable from the caddy without the rest of the caddy for troubleshooting purposes. 3. Go into Easy Setup (press F1 while turning on the computer) and go into diagnostics (ambulance icon) and see if the drive is actually identified. Hope this helps some. _________________Bruce GuttmanCurrent stable: 770Z, 600X, T23, R40, R52, T43p, X41, R60, T60 (2007-83U), T61 (6460-DWU), X61 (7675-59U), X61 T (7762-H7u); T400 (2768-EK9); plus an Intellistation M 6219.New Project: [T420] Top Profile Reply with quote RandyRadioActive Post subject: Possible cable fault?PostPosted: Mon Aug 30, 2004 10:01 am Offline Joined: Thu Aug 26, 2004 6:47 pm Posts: 2 Hi Bruce, Thanks for the post.

But a drive can cost between $50-$80. I would not get anything bigger than a 20gb drive for the 600E though, it was a good machine in its time, but its getting old and the rest of the components will start to go unless youre gentle with it. Depending on the machine type listed under the laptop... this place has drives, can't speak for their "integrity" though, never used them: http://www.kahlon.com/result.asp?modelid=10544 I had XP on mine too, but its just chugs away on the slow 256mb ram. Might be good just for email and surfing.
