Replacing HDD on Thinkpad T43
Well well so long I haven’t been back to blogging (and I think I have good reasons for it) but this topic deserves a post anyway
My Thinkpad T43 is running clumsy after I tried some datawarehousing and BI stuffs on it. It’s good time for a HDD upgrade considering the cost for a new HDD (which is around a business dinner) and the urge to make a fresh reinstall of Windoze.
My first concern is to copy the pre-desktop partition of the OEM HDD to the new HDD and make it work with the blue ‘Access IBM’ button. I did some search on Google and came across with this article which seems to be interesting: http://tech.slupik.com/
Thinking it’s enough, I bought a Samsung 120GB disk from a retail store in Low Yat Plaza and rushed to the hotel room to begin my disk change process.
It didn’t work, simply because the post was intended for a T42 and mine is a T43 which has different config. Yeah that’s me, silly TT
