ThinkPad T40 Won't Detect New HM160HC HDD
Hello, My old HDD (40.0GB) broke, so i decided to purchase a new HM160HC HDD (160GB) and my computer won't detect it. I read the short "HDD INSTALLATION GUIDE" it came with, but it doesn't help. I unpluged the power cord and took out the old HDD and unscrewed the cover then put it on the New HDD and slidded it in. I put the power cord back in and turned on my labtop. My labtop does some type of search and looks like this after its done: Intel(R) Boot Agent GE v1.2.17 Copyright (c) 1997-2003, Intel Corporation Intel(R) Boot Agent PXE Base Code (BA1217BC) Copyright (c) 1997-2003, Intel Corporation PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable PXE-M0F: Exiting Intel Boot Agent. Operationg System not found Im guessing it does not ditect the HDD, yet this HDD is compadable with this T series labtop. Is there something wrong with my labtop? or is theres somthing just not allowing my labtop to detect this HDD? Please reply, any information about this will help me out! Thankyou, RyanJake -- RyanJake

The bios has nothing to do with Win.
If win is installing, then the disk has been detected You dont need a new win cd to get the latest updates "RyanJake" wrote in message ... ok, i found a Microsoft Windows CD thats now uploading, and booting up from it. once its done, i might be able to detect the HDD from the BIOS, also i will get a new windows CD soon so i can get latest windows update, Thanks -- RyanJake
