777950 2009-05-29 06:12:00 I am currently trying to fix a problem with my friend's laptop. it's an old IBM ThinkPad A22e and when I press the power button, the BIOS screen shows, but it comes up with a message shortly after saying the HD was not found.

I know for a fact the HD works (I've tried it in my machine) and have tried another one, with the same result.

Specs:
- 850MHz PIII
- 192MB RAM
- 40GB HD

Not sure what happened to it tho....

Hope it stays going, all good so far :)
