Error 2100: on my T61

[n1hilist]

Hi guys.

Started getting this 2100: Initialization error on HDD0 (Main hard disk drive) error on bootup after Windows has crashed or rebooted. I've had this with Vista, but I'm using win7 now.

I've tried using the firmware update ( http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site. ... MIGR-67653 ) that corrects this known issue, but it doesn't have an update for my Seagate ST9320320AS drive.

The drive appears to be seated just fine, so I don't think its due to poor contact.

I have to completely power off the notebook in order to boot.

Any suggestions?
