I've got a new 600E with the inet25ww version of ez-setup. Now I'm trying to move a big HD to it (80 GB) and I get a read error. Even if the obvious difference between the machine's is that the newly bought is inetww25 and the original one is inet36ww, I wonder is there any other (Unfixable) reason why the new one wouldn't accept the disc?
(I've tried inserting the 80 GB HD into the original TP and I also tried inserting a small HD to the new one, and both things worked)
Silly question, as this really should be the problem, but I don't really find anything about it in the changelog, and I've learnt to never take anything for granted. If it doesn't work when I've upgraded ez-setup, I'll be mighty angry.
My next question is about the BIOS files. I don't have access to a floppy drive atm, is the floppy image for spsdin36.exe available for download somewhere? (Alternatively does anyone know a method to extract it from the exe without a flopppy drive?)

I thought ibm did provide plain zip files of bios (which always pleasantly surprised me) but if not you could always use e.g. http://chitchat.at.infoseek.co.jp/vmware/vfd.html vfd to fake a floppy drive and thereyby derive the necessary files... this is what I do (and then using ultraiso/etc. put said necessary files on a bootable cd e.g. http://www.bootdisk.com/plan10/flashcd.zip where they will show up under the R: drive ....)
