Press the "release" button/lever, to allow the ThinkPad to be "unlocked" and released from the docking station.

    >> I need help to remove it from docking station.



    At this point, it would be wisest to take it to a professional technician.



    Either that, or take a chain-saw to the docking station, to "sacrifice" it, and then purchase a replacement docking station (on eBay?), which may be cheaper than hiring the professional.

    Where is the release lever/button? On front of docking station (blue)? on right side (black)? Photo or more description would be nice. Thanks.

    There is a release mechanism underneath the computer, slide it to the left or to the right.

Can't remove x31 from docking station

You asked this question a year ago, and did not get any help.

So, it's time to take a chain-saw to the docking-station, to "sacrifice" it,
and then purchase (on eBay?) a replacement docking-station.

2nd Hard drive not recognized

Hi,
If your using IDE hard drives i would try to put them both on the same cable on the primary IDE controller. Then set you main hard drives jumpers and the second hard drive to cable select not slave. Try to boot if the boot fails your goiong to need a Windows 98 boot floppy with FDISK. You need to start up the 98 boot disk with out CD support then when it reaches a command prompt start fdisk. ONce fdisk is up format and partition the second drive. Now it should work. :) Check that the harddrive is detected in the BIOS, it may have become disconnected, it should also be the master drive on the primary IDE. If the drive is not detected in BIOS there is little chance of it working

Thank you....
