Can 250GB FDE 7200 be installed on my X60s?

I can't seem to find an answer to this simple question and I found conflicting pieces of information on the official Lenovo product pages.  Any help would be highly appreciated
The question is: Can I install the 250GB FDE 7200rpm SATA HD (Lenono Thinkpad's part number 43N3410) on my X60s, Win XP (SP3), model 1704-5LG, which is still running on the original 80GB 5400rpm HD?
Thanks in advance!

ajkula66 - many thanks!  I have been reading the forum for long time and have always been able to find the answers before I had to post a question... it is really a great forum!  Thnaks for the good work.
Regarding your answer, I understand that it would work just fine, but still my concern is that the FDE functionality will not be operational because of the information I read at:
1) http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/documen​t.do?lndocid=MIGR-69621
Where it says in the middle of the page:
"Which ThinkPad notebooks can use FDE drives?
Any ThinkPad notebook that uses Serial ATA (SATA) hard drives can use an FDE drive; however, the FDE menu enable utility is currently only supported on ThinkPad T61/T61p, R61, X61/X61p and ThinkPad Reserve Edition notebooks."
2) http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/documen​t.do?lndocid=MIGR-68776
Where it is alsosuggested that the larger size HD (200GB in this case) is not supported on X60s.
I am looking to upgrade from my origianl HD to the 250GB FDE 7200rpm, but if the FDE functionality (the added security) is not going to work on my X60s, so then I am better off buying a larger HD without FDE for the same price.
Again, apologise for being so "slow" but perhaps I am missing something here.  I clearly could not find anyone saying "yes the FDE functionality would work on X60s".
Any comment would be appreciated.
Thanks again!
So in summary, the precise question is - will the FDE functionality of the

  • How can I reboot a default install of arch remotely?

    I set up an arch box at school today, and it was the last day of school. I got it all set up the way I wanted, including openssh and the proper entry in rc.conf.
    Imagine my expression when I realized that I forgot to start sshd, and didn't reboot the box.
    I would like a way to use another box at school to reboot the arch box. I removed the default deny all in hosts.deny, and installed some stuff. I didn't reboot the box or start the daemons. Everything I need to start is in rc.conf, so a reboot is all that should be necessary.
    Is there a security hole that I can use in the default install that will allow me to reboot the box?
    School's out for summer break and I can't get back to the server room for a while.

    You will have to use the social conditioning security hole for this one.  Call up the secretary/janitor/security person and ask them to power cycle the box.

  • How can Reader v 9  be installed to a volume other than c:?

    How can Reader v >9  be installed to a volume other than c:? such as g:?
    and is there a distrubution executable available so Reader can be installed on a machine that is not connected to the Internet?

    download the .exe from the ftp service and use it to target the install directory:
    ergo
    ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/
    and pick OS and version and language thus:

  • I have installed Smile Box and can't get it to install, I am running a Mac Powerbook G4 10.5.8 1.33 GHz help?

    I am running a Mac Powerbook G4 OSX 10.5.8 1.33 GHz  and can't get Smiebox to install, it downloads the program just fine but will not let me install it, can someone tell me why?

    Hi SusieQ,
    Seems they have no idea what they're doing over there, to wit...
    Mac Snow Leopard and above*
    In general, we recommend a multi-core processor and at least 2 GB RAM.
    Connection to the Internet is required; Smilebox is optimized for a high-speed broadband connection, and that faster connection will give you the best performance.
    Smilebox uses your Internet browser and Flash11 (or higher) to run. We automatically detect whether Flash is installed and will help you install the free download if need be. You will also need javascript enabled. Your internet browser and any security software (firewall, antivirus) you have on your computer may need to be configured to "allow" Smilebox internet access. Please refer our article on - I have security software (firewall or anti-virus software) that I suspect is blocking Smilebox.  What can I do to fix that?
    If your computer shipped with Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8 you can install run Smilebox; we do require that Windows XP computers have Service Pack 3 installed.
    To run Smilebox on your Mac, your Macintosh should have an Intel or Power PC processor on a G5 or higher (if your Mac was made in the past 3 years, it should meet this requirement), 2GB or more RAM.
    *Smilebox will not run on earlier versions of the Mac OS X including Leopard (10.5).
    Snow Leopard is 10.6.x, no G3/G4/G5 PPC Mac can run 10.6 or above.
    So this line is wrong, or two other lines about Snow Leopard are wrong....
    To run Smilebox on your Mac, your Macintosh should have an Intel or Power PC processor on a G5 or higher

    You installed a hacked app, originally from the Mac App Store. It contains the receipt for a different app, downloaded using an account that you don't control. You need to identify and remove the hacked app.
    Important: The app you need to remove is not necessarily the one named in the App Store alert. For example, the App Store may prompt you to update "Angry Birds" or "Twitter," but the hacked app may be something else entirely. Don't make any assumptions about which app you're looking for. To find it, you must carry out a systematic search with Spotlight.
    1. Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
    kMDItemAppStoreHasReceipt=1
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    2. In the Finder, press command-F to open a search window, or select
    File ▹ Find
    from the menu bar. In the search window, select
    Search: This Mac
    from the row of tokens below the toolbar. Below that is a popup menu of search criteria, initially showing Kind. From that menu, select
    Other...
    A sheet will drop down. In that sheet, select
    Raw Query
    as the criterion, then click OK or press return.
    Now there will be a text box to the right of the menu of search criteria. That's where you enter the raw search query. Click in that box and paste the text you copied earlier by pressing command-V.
    4. The search window will now show all the App Store products that are installed. Compare those search results with the list of your purchases from the App Store. To see the complete list, you may need to unhide hidden purchases. If any apps were download from the App Store using other Apple ID accounts that you control, sign in to the store under each of those ID's and check the purchases.
    At least one of the apps in the Spotlight search results is not among your purchases in the App Store. Move each such item to the Trash, after quitting it if it's running. You may be prompted for your administrator password. Empty the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch the App Store. Test.
    If you find these instructions confusing, ask for an alternative method.

  • How can I get Verizon to install fiber in my neighborhood? Have been waiting 10 years.

    How can I get Verizon to install fiber in my neighborhood?
    I have been on the notification list for nearly 10 years with no action.
    Current DSL download speed is only 3.0 Mbps, the max available for copper twisted pair, so I am told by tech support.
    Unless Verizon will install fiber in my neighborhood, my only option to obtain faster internet service is to change to another provider, though I would prefer to remain a Verizon customer.
    Any suggestions for alternate providers, under the circumstances?
    Thanks
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Forget it. I've been waiting 13 years and every town around me has Fios, in fact my town is a small [27k population] city who provides the phone exchange numbers for the surrounding towns with Fios! Figure that out. I myself have given up and am moving on to Time Warner for my internet and phone and will not return even if fios does appear before the end times.. They are actually cheaper than verizon when flat rate phone service and real broadband speeds are figured in. Verizon only has last century's DSL technology available. Leave verizon, they don't care if do or not.

  • How can I do a clean install of Mountain Lion?

    I have an older MacBook Pro that I'm selling. I upgraded to Mounbtain Lion, but there was not an option to do a clean install (wiping everything clean and starting fresh). I want to do this to make sure all of my data is removed before I sell it. How can I do a clean install of Mountain Lion in order to accomplish this? In the past, from DVDs, it was easy. Thanks!

    Sure, but I would imagine that it will be common for people to sell their Macs with upgraded OSs.
    That was only OK when you bought the Upgrade DVD and included both the original system discs and the disc you used to upgrade the OS.
    Since Apple has now gone to the Download only model of OS X you now always need to install the Original OS or an Upgraded version that you have the DVD disc for.
    If a Mac came with Leopard and you upgraded to Snow Leopard and then to Lion or Mt Lion you must remove Lion or Mt Lion and reinstall either Leopard or Snow Leopard and include all the discs for that system, Originals and the Upgrde Snow Leopard DVD.
    If your system came Snow Leopard and you installed Lion or Mt Lion thenn again you remoeve Lion or Mt Lion and reinstall Snow Leopard and include the original discs that came with the system
    If your system came with Lion and you upgraded to Mt Lion then you remove Mt Lion and reinstall Lion.
    The reason for all of that is because with the Download only OS all upgrades are TIED to YOUR Apple ID, not to the computer. So the new owner can not reinstall Lion or Mt Lion, whichever you upgraded to, without using your Apple ID.

  • How can I do a clean install after doing an update using a volume purchase license?

    My question is this:  We purchased 20 licenses of Lion through the Volume Purchase program.  2 of the users installed it first doing an upgrade - now they have decided they want to do a clean install.  How can they do a clean install - I can't give them the installer cd we created because I have been informed by Apple Sales that it will use another license from our quantity of 20 - but they offered no other solution.
    We would rather not waste another license just to do a clean install.
    Thanks!

    Install or Reinstall Lion from Scratch
    If possible backup your files to an external drive or second internal drive.
    Boot to the Recovery HD:
    Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Erase the hard drive:
    Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
    Quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion: Select Reinstall Lion and click on the Install button.
    Note: You can also re-download the Lion installer by opening the App Store application. Hold down the OPTION key and click on the Purchases icon in the toolbar. You should now see an active Install button to the right of your Lion purchase entry. There are situations in which this will not work. For example, if you are already booted into the Lion you originally purchased with your Apple ID or if an instance of the Lion installer is located anywhere on your computer.
    This method relies on the Internet Recovery system. This is the standard procedure when you don't have an installer or Lion came pre-installed.

  • How can I download a new install of Acrobat 7 to a new computer running Win7

    I am running Acrobat 7 on my old desktop and now bought a new system. I do not have the original install disks, but this is a registered copy and shows up in My Adobe.  Can I download a new install and then deactivate the old install and activate the new install on the new computer?

    Acro 7 is not compatible with Win 7, anyway, so anything you do would be a waste of time. Upgrade to Acrobat X or for the time being use Reader and other PDF creation and editing tools.
