[ltp] Re: New HDD: hdaps support?

[Whoopie]

Hi,

you could try to update the HDD firmware to the Lenovo/IBM release.

A bootable CD IS= can be found here:
http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-62282

Instructions how to do it are here:
http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=20858

Best regards,
Whoopie
