I know there already are a lot of topics concerning this error. However, I am not at all able to determine which type of new harddisk I bought and inserted in my T43.
The following information and numbers are printed on the disk:

MODEL:HTS541280H9AT00
N13508 E182115 T
HGS-HKP80H9AT0(B)
80 GB 5400 RPM ATA/IDE
P/N:0A50107 MLC:DA1628

Someone able to determine which disk this is please ?
Further assistance in "flashing" is highly appreciated if someone is able !!

Thanks for you reply, but I already found this one google today. It should be a Travelstar 5K120 type if I'm not wrong. Is this disk flashable with the software provided in this topic then please :

Many thanks for your answer.

I believe it is not. The HTS5410 drives are, but the HTS5412 drives are not. It is amazing to me how crude the software is. I have successfully flashed several drives (hitachi, toshiba and seagate) and turned none into paper weights, but every time is an adventure.

Should it be of any use making a clone from an identical disk and put the clone copy on the brandnew disk ?
When cloning, does it take all the stuff with it and put it back onto the new disk ?
I'm not sure myself, but what can we think of, at the end of all this 2010 misery ?

well... I've read a bit about the mysterious error...
And my opinion is that it does not matter... for now..

I had for a while a t43 with seagate 40gb drive and the 2010 error,
i just went to bios, set there to continue booting without hiting esc and I just lived with it. It was anoying, but it was just a message and nothing else.

I agree that something should be done to "free us" and let use thinkpads with any possible drive without the error.
But I agree only because as it was mentioned there are steps towards Trusted Platform and it could be the begining of a bigger problem we could face in the future.
I appreciate all the efforts taken to flash the drives and find out what is realy going on and I think that those who have skills should continue their work.

As for now for me it's just a message... nothing else...

Cloning the disk doesn't help

The issue is with the firmware on the drive, not the data on the platter(s), so cloning does not make any difference.

Cheers,

Update :

Found a new disk with the following references :

HTS548080M9AT00 80.0GB

According to the IBM file, this disk should be flashable. However, I tried several times and got an error after the first command already.

However, on the IBM file I found this info :

HTS548080M9AT00 80.0GB
"HTS548080M9AT00","MG4OA50A","MG4OA5HA","MG4IA5HA.bin","hfui12L.exe","IA5HA","/u MRLA5HA.tbl"
"HTS548080M9AT00","MG4OA55A","MG4OA5HA","MG4IA5HA.bin","hfui12L.exe","IA5HA","/u MRLA5HA.tbl"
"HTS548080M9AT00","MG4OA5BA","MG4OA5HA","MG4IA5HA.bin","hfui12L.exe","IA5HA","/u MRLA5HA.tbl"
"HTS548080M9AT00","MG4OA5DA","MG4OA5HA","MG4IA5HA.bin","hfui12L.exe","IA5HA","/u MRLA5HA.tbl"

This is the error I get :

Invalid *.bin Parameter Name!!MG4IA5HA.BIN

Somebody able to post me here exactly what to do please ?

Many many many thanks for your help !!!

First, I am sorry in advance if you turn your drive into a coaster.

Start the software and hit F5 to get a command prompt. The program you need to run is HFUI12L.exe.

Run this command line:

HFUI12L.exe OA5H5 MG4IA5HA.BIN /F MRLA5HA.TBL

Press "U" in the program

(note: the "I" was changd to "O" in the first parm)

Ignore the failure notice.

Then run this

HFUI12L.exe IA5H5 MG4IA5HA.BIN /F MRLA5HA.TBL

Press "U" in the program and it will flash the drive.

I'm sorry that the software sucks.

Sorry to say, but I get the same error :

Invalid *.bin Parameter Name!!MG4IA5HA.BIN

However, I did exactly as I was told in the previous post.

Don't know what is happening...

I have flashed that exact drive the way I described.

Are you running from CD or floppy? Is the bin file in the current directory?

equinoxe · #13 Post by **equinoxe** » Mon May 07, 2007 2:27 pm

I'm running the stuff from cd. I suppose all the files are in the root on the cd. I checked and I see all the necessary files on the cd though.

Shouldn't IA5H5 be IA5HA ? Just a question you know, as I can see IA5HA in the FW.PRO file instead of IA5H5.However, I tried with IA5HA before, and I got the same error.

Don't know what's going wrong...
