I do not know if this is relevant but I am currently using that box which is 
my Thinkpad.

How is that possible simply in desperation I purchased a second HD and 
installed Windows and Mandrake 10.1 on it as per the previous partition table 
with modifacation of size this being a 100 GB drive, all that I could obtain, 
versus 50 GB which has the daqta on it.

Question if the bios was mess up would the second HD functon?
