hello download your drivers from here www.ma-config.com

> maximum

The maximum is 500 GB (for the older-generation of IDE-interface disk-drives), since nobody makes IDE drives larger than 500 GB, or 2000 GB for the new generation of SATA disk-drives.

The cost is approx 150.00. Never used this retailer, so I can't vouch for the service. http://www.yallstore.com/ibm-thinkpad-t21-2647-laptop-lcd-screen-141-sxga-matte-p-8837.html

Hi, During the boot at the THINKPAD SCREEN press the Thinkvantage key ( Blue button ) it will launch rescue and recovery and allow you to reboot factory. This only works if you did not corrupted/deleted the rescue and recovery hidden partition on the HDD. Otherwise you will need the rescue and recovery CD to proceed. IBM/Lenovo support should be able to provide you the CD. Might be a defective hdd aswell, in this case to make sure you can run a DFT test, www.google.com -> Look up for " Test DFT " ( Drive fitness tool from hitachi, will make an hardware diag if hdd failure - error code 0x00 = everything fine, other code = Issue - You can look up for accurate code explanation on hitachi website ) thanks and have a nice day J-

your inverter may have died.

Let me know if this helps :).

The ThinkPad T21 is a laptop with a single drive bay.
You cannot setup this laptop with two hard drives in any RAID configuration.
You can add an external USB hard drive and copy/backup data to this hard drive.
OR
You can connect this laptop to a network and copy/backup data to another computer/server on the network.
