Occasionally (about 20-30% of the times) when I tried to http://www.thinkpads.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=99948 boot up my laptop, it will give the attached screen error within 3-5 seconds after powering up my X61 Usually I would power it off & power on & it would be able to boot up on Win XP Professional SP3 again. Q1: What's the cause? Q2: Is this is a hardware or software issue?

I would get a backup of the system right away using Ghost, ImageX, or Drive Snapshot before it dies. You can just replace the hard drive and boot to DOS and restore your image to the new hard drive. It could also be a loose cable or bad connector in the laptop but more likely the hard drive. 0 LVL 37 Overall: Level 37 MS Legacy OS 5 Hardware 5 Laptops/Notebooks 3 Message Active today Expert Comment by:Aaron Tomosky2011-11-02 Consumer harddrives only last about 5 years.
