As said in my previous post, u need to first upgrade to the latest BIOS; reboot; then upgrade the firmware of the hd controller.
Go the BIOS, and set continue to boot when error message. Then u can use any brand of IDE hard disk.
Original BIOS or firmware only supports up to 120G hard disk and also sepcific model of Fujitsu or Hitachi. I am now using a 160G Hitachi Hard disk on a T43 and no problem after upgrading for more than a year. |
