I replaced the MB battery and got to the date screen and set it. Rebooted and I now get error code 174, which the manual lists as device configuration error. It reads have the computer serviced. can you help me correct the problem.

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..

And it's not booting from a CD at all still. That's why I'm at such a loss... Also the system keeps coming up with the 174 error message...anybody w/ a 600e know what's going on?

But...if you can get into the BIOS, and have a bootable CD-ROM, you should be able to install the OS... Like I said, it's been a while since I've been in the BIOS of a Thinkpad, but the settings are there... Jedi_Master, Apr 4, 2005 #17 DanmanX Thread Starter Joined: Mar 27, 2005 Messages: 10 Yep, I did change the boot sequence. Still nothing at all. It keeps just defaulting to the 174 error code. DanmanX, Apr 4, 2005 #18 winbob Joined: Aug 2, 2004 Messages: 3,370 "Now i'm getting the error code 174 which I believe is bad system configuration." This is entirely typical...when the battery went bad, you lost the CMOS configuration. Now you have to re-enter it along with the time and date. BUT if the DEFAULT config is good enough, then you only need enter te time and date. winbob, Apr 4, 2005 #19 Jedi_Master Joined: Mar 12, 2002 Messages: 5,520 Can you post the menus that are available in the BIOS ? Jedi_Master, Apr 4, 2005 #20 DanmanX Thread Starter Joined: Mar 27, 2005 Messages: 10 That's the problem. I've entered the date and time. It retains it. But it won't let me boot from the CD/DVD drive. It doesn't seem to make sense.... The test sequence keeps stopping on the

Old drive seems to be a dud http://www.geek.com/news/ibms-new-thinkpads-565673/ but when I install a new drive I get a error 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 ibm thinkpad 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 ibm thinkpad error 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. I am not able to enter setup with the new drive(s) installed. I do the F1 hold on power up and all I get is error "00174" > "OK" "Cancel" < With no hard drive present, I can enter setup. With the "dud" drive installed, I can enter setup and setup shows no hard drive is present. With new drive installed, and after pressing "OK" on the error 174 screen, I get I999035 in the top left side of the screen - "no bootable device." Do you think I have a defective drive cable? If so, where can I get one? Randy Top

The X series of extra-thin, extra-light notebooks for mobile workers will come in 8 different models, and join the rest of the revamped ThinkPad line, which also includes the T series for frequent travelers (thin and light), the A series for people looking for a desktop alternative (all-in-one), and the affordable i series. The one-inch thin X series will have 600 MHz Mobile PIII or 500 MHz Mobile Celeron chips and 12.1″ displays, a 56K modem, up to 20 GB hard drives, 64 MB of RAM minimum, and start at 3.1 pounds. The ThinkPad line of notebooks had lost a lot of popularity over the past few years ($1 billion lost in '98, $69 million last quarter) amid component shortages (still continuing, and many ThinkPads are still back-ordered and hard-to-find) and fierce competition from rivals Dell, Compaq, and Toshiba. IBM's notebook sales placed fourth in second quarter sales at 12.1% of the market, behind Dell (21.5), Compaq (16.6), and Toshiba (13.4). Corporate sales of the revamped ThinkPads have exploded recently though, with IBM grabbing 44.6% of
