Thinkpads Forum

I've bought a brand-new ThinkPad X220i for a few days. When I turned on the machine, thinkpad logo displaying on the screen,it gave the message "2102: detection error on HDD1 (ultrabay HDD). Press ESC to ignore the error." After pressing ESC,I can use the computer normally.
I used diagnostic programs to identify hardware problems。The results showed that the hard disk drive was normal.So I contacted Lenovo for help ,the technical engineer told me that the mainbord had problems and they would replace a new one. I don't know whether this is quality or design flaws.
Anyone met the same situation?
Any help?

I would try another hard drive as a test....just because I would not want my new machine torn apart needlessly .
