hello fellow ibm'ers. i have to buy a dual core pentium and i am torn between a t61 or t60. i will be using it for work(auto mechanic/prorammer) where i will be running multiple programs by switching out hard drives(similar to what i do with my t30(hot swap). also can they both run either windows 7 ...

my friend was looking for a set of t61 disc if still available. my question is are they windows xp. he has vista on it now and hates it. thanks gery

ok guys. all is well. i got the touchpad. put it on and now i can power it up and works fine with another keyboard. prior to touchpad replacement it stopped powering up, even with another keyboard. so basicly i replaced the touchpad(original problem-button sticking) and keyboard. good to go. harryc,...

they'll bury me with my t30. with the money ive spent on it i couldve bought a nice new machine. it just feels right. i grab it like hally berry grabbed billy bob thorton and say "make me feel good, make me feel good". :bouncing-bird: ok maybe not that much but.....................you know what i me...

thanks, gery

hey guys. my left mousepad button has been sticking. well finally got stuck. i lost keypad functionality. tried to restart laptop-no joy. read the archives, removed the mousepad from the motherboard and whala, laptop powers up. my problem is it only powers up once. i have to remove battery, charger,...

bought a hard drive from sojourner. smooth as silk, fast delivery. thanks.

thanks guys. ok heres what i did...............
i removed the battery and let it sit for a few hours and bingo. i couldnt believe it. i dont know if theres some type of reset or circuit protection device but its working now.
thanks to all who replied.
gery

my issue isnt the bent pin. the problem is i cant load windows cause it never turns the hard drive on. doesnt work on the ultrabay or regular hard drive bay either.

hey guys. i think i screwed my motherboard. basicly i was swapping hard drives and one of the hard drives fell. long story short. iput the drive in with a bent pin which was making contact with another pin. now i only get the ibm page upon startup.. the setup page sees the hard drive but the hard dr...

awesome. thanks mpcook.
gonna do that, gery

i guess i would need some type of external cd drive cause one of the hard drives will be in the ultrabay where the cd would be.............?

quick question guys, i want to clone my friends hard drive. being that it isnt my hard drive i dont feel comfortable installing acronis on his drive(JIC it screws something up). the destination hard drive has acronis on it but will be overwritten during the clone process. heres my question: will the...

thanks hary for your reply. one uses the usb and the other uses the ethernet port.
both programs recide(sp)on different partitions.
gery

the reason i ask is both programs stopped working at the same time and they are on different partitions. how can i find out if they share a common directory/sub-directory/folder/s.
thanks, gery

hey guys, quick question. i partitioned my hard drive cause i need to run vehicle diagnostic software that conflict with each other(chrysler and ford). well today i went to use chrysler and it had the same error as it did when i had it running together on the same drive with ford. so i switched to t...

sure enough guys.
the caddy was missing screws and the cap at the end that has the connector wasnt making contact with the inside part of the caddy. put a screw in there, tightened it up and sure enough. now partition magic sees the drive.
awesome. thanks again for all your help guys.
gery

10 bucks, japan..........(finishing typing as flame suit comes on)

i am thinking of getting another caddy being that the sata hdd is new.
what do you guys recommend.

ok totally rookie question............
so if i clone a hard drive to a hdd that has information on it, is it possible that the previous data can somehow interfere or creat issues with the new clone install?
thanks gery.

jronald,
its not formatted. however acronis and partition magic(mounted in the normal hdd drive slot) dont see a drive in the ultrabay.
maybe its the tray thats defective. i just dont want to spend an extra 10 bucks on another tray on top of the 45 i already did if its not gonna work.
thanks, gery

i must be doing something wrong. i purchased a sata drive and put it in the ultrabay caddy and its not being recognized. hopefully i didnt spend 45 bucks for nothing. is there something i'm missing.
thanks, gery

awesome.thanks guys.
