T43p, 2687 to 120 GB internal HD

[INVISO]

I would like to upgrade a T43p, 2687 to 120 GB internal HD, Bios 1.22, EC1.03

I have searched messages extensively on this board and I have not found any that indicate installing an internal HD of greater than 100GB without the 2010 error.

Drive Solutions Inc, at <http://www.drivesolutions.com > list a
120.0 GB 5400 RPM Drive for Thinkpad-T43p –2687, Drive in Caddy for $105. Has anyone had experience with this product? If it works out of the box hassle free, it seems like a good solution at a decent price.

Just to be safe..

Email the seller and ask him for compatability, and also for the return policy in case you run into trouble.

With regard to Drive Solutions, Inc. 120GB for T43p. I took cmarti's advice and sent an email to the supplier.

Here is the reply:

"If you get a drive from us it will give you a 2010 ERROR message.

To be sure to get a drive that will not produce the annoying error message.
You will need to get a drive from IBM/Lenovo.
Since IBM merged with Lenovo. They have now made it so you have to buy replacement drives from them.

I am sorry.
