Hard drive compatibility
Hi
Recently seen some articles about hard drives and wonder if anybody can give me some advice on the problem I am currently encountering. About 6 months ago, the original 6G HD in the 4270 failed and I replaced it a new IBM Travelstar 20G. I managed to install WIN98SE in it but not Win 2000 or Win XP. When installing Win 2000/XP, the screen showed "hard drive fails" or something like "non-repairable error in the hard disk". I didn't have the same problem before with my original 6G HD. I am using a IBM Travelstar (Model: IC25N020ATCS04-0 4200RPM) with no setting on jumper. I would be glad if anybody have any suggestion. Regards, Andy :cry: |

Regards, Andy :cry: I suppose the 4270 might be a Toshiba laptop, but then again it might not. I would suggest you do a bit of a google to find out more on the machines capabilities. Could be the drive size is too big for the machine. best wishes..OJ |
