HELP! With Seagate Momentus 160GB Hard Drive in T43

[mfratt]

I have a T43 2669-C8U. I recently bought the Seagate Momentus 5400.3 160GB Hard Drive for it. When I try to boot, I get Error 2010, claiming that the drive is not supported. If I press Esc to continue, it works fine, but I can not stand the delay and annoyance when booting. After some searching, it is apparently due to a drive whitelist in the bios. I tried all the bios updates and everything, to no avail. Apparently, the 120GB drives have slightly more support, but no go for the 160. Any suggestions?

None that I can think of right now. There should be a BIOS update that gets rid of the need to hit Esc and just leaves the beep.

just live with the 2010 errors first.
one day, IBM will fix the BIOS bug.

I doubt it. They consider it a "feature".

This error is purposely generated..........
