Thinkpads Forum

I have a T22 and have just obtained a hard drive adapter for the ultrabay. I'm running puppy linux and ubuntu in a dual boot system (no windows) and neither OS recognises the hard drive, which is the old 20gb ibm travelstar which was originally in the machine. If I put the hd in the main caddy and boot using a puppy live cd, the hd works well - I can read and write to it fine.
Also, using diagnostic boot up, the bios correctly recognises the travelstar as disk 2 when it is in the ultrabay.
Do I need to jumper it as slave? Or are these OSes both not able to use an ultrabay hdd?

Welcome to the Forum.
Yours is rather a Linux problem, not a TP problem.
Have a look at this: http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/ubuntubre ... #secondhdd
or this: http://fxr.watson.org/fxr/source/Docume ... =linux-2.6
in the latter one, do a search for Ultrabay.

No need to jumper that HD.
The Ultrabay is Master on the Second IDE channel.
