Hi,

I think you are referring to this disk:

2.5" WD Scorpio 250GB WD2500BEVE

It works in a T43 so far. However, you get a warning at each power on
because the BIOS detects a hard disk with an unknown firmware. The T43
use PATA disks on a SATA port. It is possible that unknown firmware
cause errors with such a setup, so you get a warning. Google for "error
2010" for more details.

Regards,
Tino
