T30 won't recognize new 60GB HD

#1 Post by Dr Peter » Sun Jan 16, 2005 3:50 pm

I am trying swap out a 20 GB HD that came with the T30 I just purchased. The new HD is a 60 GB Hitachi that I was using on my T20. When I boot with the 60GB installed I get the Blue Screen of Death. The T30 is apparently not recognizing the new 60GB drive. I tried putting the old drive (20GB) back in and upgrading the Bios Firmware but it still does not work. I tried the 60GB in another unit and it works so I know that the 60GB is not defective.

Any suggestions/solutions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
