As long as it is PATA, and you have the latest BIOS, it will work.

I couldn't tell for sure if this drive is PATA, SATA or both. The description from the Manufacturer's website, seems to imply that it has both.

Here is the diskette versionand here is the non-diskette version.

Do you know which version BIOS you have? The latest is version ITET55WW (1.11).

I have updated the BIOS and install Windows XP Pro SP2, NetGear WG511T, Updated the Config Service Pack(Thinkpad/Utility's), Norton 10.. 46 Window's XP Updates

What else do I need, before I hit a bad sector and have to start over..??

Can I install PCDoctor??
