So I bought a error 2100 hdd0 initialization error (1) t400 new HDD, a Samsung HD753LJ. When swapping it with my old one, the computer didn't work. When adding my old HDD, 2100 detection error on hdd0 (main hdd) press esc to continue the old one worked and the new one could not be found. Some time later I've gotten my hands on a HDD Dock where I can connect regular HDD's to the PC via USB. https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/ThinkPad-X-Series-Laptops/quot-Error-2100-Hard-drive-initialization-error-quot/td-p/8461/page/2 I saw drivers install, and I think I saw external HDD there. I guess the dock makes it an external HDD. Anyways, now I can see the HDD in Disk Management, but it is "Not Initialized". When I attempt to initialize it, an error message states "The device is not ready". Does anyone have any ideas how I proceed from here? Anyone know any HDD recovery software that http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/250083-32-unable-initialize can find a HDD without a drive letter?

I can be done in Windows' Disk Manager. They are Partitioning (create a defined space on the drive to be used) and Formatting (create the root directory and sector allocation tracking structures). Read up on these. Many (including me) have posted detailed instructions here before. Even easier, most HDD makers provide free software utilities for exactly these purposes, because they know every purchaser will need to carry out these operations. If you did not get a CD of tools with the drive, go to the maker's website and look around the Downloads section for them. Seagate provides Disk Wizard, WD provides Data Lifeguard, and I don't know what Samsung has. These usually are multiple tools in one package, but preparing the disk for first use in

Solved 2100: HDD0 Hard disk drive initialization error (1) & Thinkpad can't boot up Posted on 2011-11-02 MS Legacy OS Laptops/Notebooks Hardware 5 Verified Solutions 12 Comments 6,376 Views Last Modified: 2012-05-12 Refer to attached. Occasionally (about 20-30% of the times) when I tried to 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? Q3: Other than reinstall the entire OS (which I wanted to avoid as I don't want all my apps to be gone as I think reinstall will require the apps to be reinstalled?), what else can I do to remedy this?

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.
