Thanks for the advice GomJabber, have downloaded and read the 600e Hardware Maintenance Manual, but not really gleaned anything from it apart from :
1) Error 017 is a Hdd Error.
2) Err 81 = Nothing at all.
3) FRU 6010 means either reseat Hdd or the system board is faulty, (which seems to be Ibm's fix for everything)!!!
Am running System Test as I write this, so maybe...........
I have updated the bios from IBET37WW to the current IBET54WW but it hasn't helped so far.
I know the Hdd is perfect and working in my son's 600E, coz I'm using it to type this!!!
Have got a spare system board off ebay to try as a last resort, but the last System test I did said everything was fine (except the Hdd).
Anyone else got any suggestions please ?
