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.....

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 http://www.computing.net/answers/windows-95/error-174-on-ibm-thinkpad-380d/170311.html w/ a 600e know what's going on? DanmanX, Apr 4, 2005 #16 Jedi_Master Joined: Mar 12, 2002 Messages: 5,520 With the 600's ( and many Thinkpads ), in the BIOS you will have to go and change the boot drive(s) ( it's been a while ), but there is a menu where you will have to select the cd-rom as a valid boot drive ( don't remember the menu where it https://forums.techguy.org/threads/ibm-thinkpad-600e-massive-error-codes-and-problems.346625/page-2 is )... then there is a menu for commit changes ( maybe, like I said it's been a while ), then exit... 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 ?

I have the IBM Rescue and Recover and Product Recovery CD's (7cds total) that were sent to me from IBM a few years back when I had hard drive problems.When I run these CD's, does it format my hard drive at the same time? I backed up everything already, so I want my computer to be running just like when I opened it out of the box....If these CD's don't format my hard drive, what is the best way to go about doing this?Sorry if it is a newbie question, however this is my first time formatting a hard drive and want to make sure it is done correctly.Thanks! In my experience with a couple of T4x machines and T60s, yes the Rescue & Recovery program will format the drive first. If you have more than one partition (say, C: and D:, ) it will ask if you want to format just C: The other partition would then be undisturbed. The hidden recovery partition from Lenovo will not be over written either. Top Profile Reply with quote Gene44 Post subje
