SSD Patriot Warp V2 64gb & 128gb & Lenovo T61P - error 2100 hard disk failed initialisation

Hi guys. I have recently purchased 2 SSD drives - 1x64gb & 1x128gb. I have the 64gb hooked up to the home pc and is running as the C:\ system drive. I wanted to hook up the 128gb drive to my notebook, but I keep getting an initialisation error (2100) - I have tried AHCI and Compatibility Mode, as well as look up various firmware upgrades and hdd firmware upgrade options via Lenovo.
I was just curious if anyone has had problems with this on there system, and if so, how did you overcome it. I have tried both drives on my notebook, both providing the same error, but both work on the desktop system.
I have a strong feeling it is to do with a firmware upgrade through Lenovo (ibm), as I have the most recent upgrade which is already a few months old... Hope to hear something good soon... Thnx guys in advance.

Hi haspac2,
Welcome to the forum!
Check out following links for ROM not initialized error:- 
http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=29472
http://digitalchunk.com/expansion-rom-not-initialized-pci-on-motherboard-t60.htm
As for HDD initialization error check following link:- http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-42321.html
To install Win XP, SATA AHCI needs to be changed to Compatibility mode in the BIOS for HDD. - Config - > SATA - > Compatibility. 
Hope it helps.

  • Lenovo T61p - Product recovery disc creation fails

    Hi,
    I tried creating a set of product recovery disc, the process started decently to extract the information/files. Then the process abruptly stops and gives a msg saying "The process has encountered an internal error."
    Pls Help.
    Rgds,
    Sumit

    As  lead_org  says, call Lenovo and explain the problem you have encountered, especially the error message, "The process has encountered an internal error." If they don't offer to send you free recovery media, politely explain to them that it's not your fault that you can't make the media on your own. If you're firm and persistent (call back later and try another agent) they will relent

  • Lenovo ThinkPad X131e Replacement Hard Disk Drive Specifications

    I have recently been given a Lenovo ThinkPad X131e 3368-2GU. I notice that the internal 320GB 2.5" SATA Seagate Momentus Thin HDD is a slim height 7mm model. I would like to upgrade internal storage to 1TB or more. Do I have to replace this HDD with another 7mm model or will any 2.5" SATA HDD work? Any other replacement HDD requirements of which I should be aware?
    Thanks for any assistance!

  • Hard disk/SSD

    The installed hard disk failed, so have to change to a new one, but as the installed hard disk is a SSHd and worth 80US$ compaired to a computer price of 1500US$, I decided to try a Samsung 500GB SSD.
    After cloning and installation it works, but could be much better, if the Samsung migration tool or the Samsung Magician tool could be used, but the Samsung programs will not recognize the Samsung drive. (Raid issues I guess).
    Well, HP use Samsung in many computers so what is needed to get the Samsung programs working, if possible? 

    Hey @TQ1,
    Welcome to the HP forums.
    I understand you're looking for information on getting the Samsung software to work on your notebook.
    HP cannot offer support for a third party companies software that did not come preinstalled on your notebook. It would be best to reach out to Samsung and request support directly from the software manufacturer.
    You can find Samsung contact information here: Official Samsung Support

  • Lenovo T61p temperatur​es

    Hellp again fellow community members!
    First of all I would like to wish all of you a happy new year!
    So, I wrote here again, because I have some concerns with laptops and their temps. Ever since I changed my CPU from T7700 -> T9300 C2D on my Lenovo T61p, but after this, the temps have gone down way too much! What I mean is, that before when I used the laptop, idle CPU temps were at 40C and GPU at 48C. Now, the GPU is about the same, but the CPU temps are too too low, from 40C --> 26C. Is this normal? CPU Usage is the same, around 2-10%.
    I did change the thermal paste and clean out the dust though, there was no dust!
    I have used many many laptops, old, new and from different companies but I have NEVER seen such low temps, EVER! Even on my desktop!!!
    Should I worry? 
    Hello! I use a Lenovo T61P in every day!

    Bios mode disables all fan controls, smart mode lets the app control the fan and it can be tweaked to give you better cooling or to avoid fan noise depending on your preference. Most use smart mode. Manual mode allows you to set the speed and to run the fan constant, this is generally only good for testing or specific type of use like if you want to run the fan constant at a slow speed instead of having it cycle on at high speed then off again. This can be handy if you're using your laptop while someone is sleeping next to you, the constant slow speed won't disturb someone as much as the on/off. In manual mode it will re-engage control if the temps reach a dangerous level to prevent overheating.
    Your results confirm that your laptop is running cooler than most, this could be a good thing and most likely it's because you're not stressing the cpu/gpu chips enough to get the temps up. You can try playing games or watching videos with a player that uses the discrete gpu or you can run a GPU stress test to get the temps up. I use Furmark, it's a free GPU stress test app. When you start it hit the "space bar" to disable the fuzzy donut which isn't required to stress a laptop gpu, it's only needed for a gaming computer many of which have multiple GPUs. When stressed in smart mode you should see the fan coming on when the temp of the CPU and GPU reach 60 to 65c. Temps below this won't engage the fan. With heavy use temps upto mid 80s aren't abnormal and once you get over mid 90s you risk thermal shutdown to prevent damage. 
    Some factors regarding temp are the room temp and humidity where it's used. If your room is cool and dry the laptop will run a lot cooler. In hot humid climates you'll see a well tuned laptop reaching 60c pretty quickly under moderate use and with cool dry air and light use you may not need the fan at all so I suspect that is what you're experiencing. Cool is usually always better as long as your laptop is working properly and performing well. The stress test I recommend should get your temps up so you can be sure it's working properly and you'll see the fan working properly if it engages when you hit about 60-65c. 
    The test can also be used to demonstrate the health of your gpu, with the fan on manual mode speed 7 you should see a nice level graph for gpu temp in furmark. This is one example when the manual mode is useful so the changes in fan speed won't change the gpu temp and you can see the chips temps when running at max with max cooling.
    In summary I'm inclined to think you have a very efficient cooling system, but these tests will help confirm that.

  • Lenovo T61p upgrading possibilities

    Hello dear Lenovo community people,
    I am new here and myself I'm an IT technician and I would like to do a few modifications to my Lenovo T61p. 
    First of all, my biggest plan was upgrading the processor, right now I have a Intel Core 2 Duo T7700 @ 2.4Ghz. I have read many posts and forums about going to Core 2 Extreme X9000 or Core 2 Duo T9300. My question is, are these upgrades possible and how much would they cost in today's used parts economy? Would there be any overheating issues considering the voltage and power they use?
    My second question is considering the RAM in my system. I have read that adding up to 8GB is possible, but Lenovo homepage says max is 4GB(which I have). Is it possible for me and how much would they cost in today's used parts economy? Would it be useful?
    My third question is about extra add-ons, my edition of this computer didn't come with a built-in SD-card slot, but instead had a built-in Smartcard slot, can I add an SD card slot somewhere(PCMCIA or anywhere else besides USB)?
    Also I don't have the firewire port, but instead it has just a black plastic in front of it. Can I add a firewire port there?
    Are there also any 3G possibilities on my system, besides 3G USB?
    My fourth question is about the HDD, what is the maximum a T61p will support, right now I have a stock 100GB HDD, I was planning on putting a 1TB in, since it fits in there. Is this possible?
    Also, what kind of motherboard do I have? I heard the penryn is newer compared to a merom and has more possibilities. How to determine, which model I have?
    My last question is considering the TrackPoint, I have the old-fashioned TrackPoint, which the old T23 had(http://blog.codinghorror.com/content/images/uploads/2006/05/6a0120a85dcdae970b0120a86d647f970b-pi.jp... so I really want to upgrade to this new one(http://www.vath.co/images/IBM%20Trackpoint%20SOFTDOME%20165.jpg). Is it possible and will it fit?
    Are all these choices useful, considering I do lots of work, install a lot and do med-heavy gaming(CS: GO, old classics, some new ones etc.)?
    I am also wondering; which Windows suits me best, right now I have Windows7 Home Premium, what is the next best thing, Enterprise or Ultimate, or stick with Home Premium, what are the differences in perofrmance? Should I go to Windows 8 or 8.1, maybe 9 or 10???

  • Does UEFI exist on Lenovo T61P running Windows 8.1?

    Just installed Windows 8.1 on my Lenovo T61P and running great after fixing wi-fi issue. Need to know how to boot from CD in this new operating system, as BIOS is still same as from XP days. I have read I have to change from UEIF mode to Legacy mode but don't know where it is, it it even exists, or what. This is important as I am setting up rescue boot CD's to recover backups. I can only get into the BIOS Setup Utility screen. See no options for setting to legacy anywhere. Please help as I need to boot from CD to test out emergency options. Has to be a way I would think as I believe Windows 8.1 automatically puts this boot mode in UIFE but I have no issues with security and would like to keep this off if possible.
    I have tried also to go in via the options route after stariting Windows. When I get to the screen that gives the option to do this, that option is missing. I read that "Lenovo preloaded Windows 8/8.1 is set up  with UEFI boot. If your computer is not fitted with UEFI boot, you can only enter BIOS setup or UEFI firmware via the traditional method."
    Last updated 26 Mar 2014.
    Are there any downloads that will install this? Am I stuck in UEFI mode or what? Please comment. Am I in Legacy mode? How do I find out?
    Is the Bios Update Utility for Windows 8 etc released 8/4/2013 the fix for this?  Is this an installed feature or one that can only be run off a boot CD or USB? Looks like it only supports T420s and T420si. Sorry. need on for T61P.
    Edit to say;
    Forgot to add this info.
    Bios vers.   2.3  (7LETDOWW)
    Bios date 2012-02-27
    CPU Type  Intel Core 2 Duo CPU  T9300
    CPU Speed    2.5GHz
    I did not know the BIOS checked out so new, as it must have been updated on my last warranted repair for this system. Is their an updated file that adds this UIFE to Legacy option in to some type of system setup screen on boot?
    thanks and need help soon while I have time to do this.
    Solved!

    Hi,
    Your T61p BIOS is pre-UEFI.  The Win 8 install couldn't have changed that.  You don't need to change anything.
    To boot a CD, hit the power button and start tapping F12.  That should bring up the boot menu.  Select the CD.

  • Lenovo T61p Cannot logon

    I have a Lenovo T61p running Vista Ultimate which I purchased in May of 2008.  Last Friday, I attempted to upgrade my anti-virus package (Spyware Doctor) and somehow damage my system.  The laptop hangs just  before displaying the login screen...stuck on the "Please Wait..." screen.  I encounter he same problem (stuck on Please wait) if I attempt to boot in safe mode.  Here is what I have tried without success:
    1. Start in Safe Mode
    2. Start in Safe Mode with Networking
    3. Start in Safe Mode WIth Command Prompt
    4. Boot from Recovery Disk and run Startup Repair
    5. Use Last Known Good COnfiguration
    I was able to access the Lenovo Rescue and Recovery tools over the week and retrieve most of my files but for some reason can no longer access these tools.  I just reviewed my records and found that the laptop is still under warranty. I just cannot devote any more time to this issue. Do I have the option of sending the laptop back to Lenovo to restore back to a normal state?
    Thanks,
    John

    Funny you should ask about the security chip.  Here is a more detailed history of this problem. My son was helping me with this issue and cannot remember all the details.
    After installing the update to Spyware Doctor, we started getting warning message about TPM.  As my son remembers, the warning message contained a link to the TPM Administration. He clicked on the link and somehow got a prompt to set the TPM password, he selected to let the system pick the password.  He remembers seeing a 40 digit password which he did write down. He also remembers executing the command "netsh winsock reset catalog" from a DOS window.  After these changes, he rebooted and encountered the "stuck at Please Wait" problem which prevents the login screen from displaying. We have never been able to log-in to our laptop since the reboot.
    We have tried changing the state of the security chip from active, inactive, and disable. We also tried the clear the security chip option without success. I believe at the moment the security chip is set to active. At this point, we tried so many options I am not sure what do.

  • Lenovo T61p-6457 has all of a sudden stopped working!

    My Lenovo T61p-6457 has all of a sudden stopped working.
    When I power it up I see the that power and HDD green lights go on and from another computer on my network I can access individual files on the T61p hdd.  
    However when I connect the T61p via VGA cable to an external working monitor I don't see Windows or any images on the external screen!
    Do you think that there is only a problem with the screen or could there be something else?
    The currently installed screen on the T61p 6457 is WSXGA 1680x1050 (Samsung LTN154P2-LO5).
    I have found a working WUXGA 1920 x 1200 along with inverter and cable in the original Lenovo T61p top case housing - will this work in my T61p?

  • Detection Error 2100 - Lenovo X240 with Crucial M500 SSD

    I have a new Lenovo X240 out of the box.  I immediately upgraded with a Crucial M500 SSD 240mb drive.  The computer is running a fresh install of Windows 7 64-bit. The BIOS on the laptop is the most current.  The firmware on the M500 is the most current.  It seems that every several times I start or reboot the system I receive "DETECTION ERROR 2100".  After powering off the machine and powering it on again the computer will boot to Winddows.
    I have seen numerous posts about this issue between Crucial vs. Lenovo.  I've tried every suggested fix to no avail.  I have tried the configuration using an identical, brand new M500 SSD with the same results.  Am I missing something?

  • Detection Error 2100 - M500 SSD in Lenovo X240 laptop

    Thanks in advance for your suggestions,.

    Hello mrtree and welcome to the Crucial forum. I spotted your post yesterday and spent some time Googling for info from the Lenovo support forum last night. I found several things you are probably aware of. First, this Detection Error 2100 is not limited to just the X240 series laptops, there are quite a few other models affected in the same way. Second, it is not limited to only Crucial SSDs, there are people with Samsungs, Toshibas, Intels, and even conventional drives that have experienced this same problem at system boot. These two observations indicate to me that problem is probably related to BIOS/firmware/driver issues. Since you have stated that you already installed the latest BIOS(v. 2.23?) and firmware(chipset v. 9.5.22.1760?), that leaves one area: drivers. From what I can see, the latest Intel RST drivers available are version 12.8.10.1005, dated 1/26/2014. Please be aware that there are seperate downloads for 32 and 64 bit systems. There is also a Solid State Drive Firmware Update Utility listed, but I do not recommend using it since Crucial M500s are not listed in the "Read Me" notes. Which brings up the question of SSD firmware, do you have the MU03 or MU05 firmware installed on your Crucial SSDs? Also, just to double check, do you have AHCI mode enabled in your BIOS settings? You'd be surprised at how many people overlook this. I suppose that Lenovo will get around to releasing updated software addressing this issue, as they have for the other brands of SSD drives, it's just a question of when. Edit: Two more things I thought of after my initail post. First, did you order your M500 directly from Crucial? When I ordered the M500 for my Lenovo T400 Thinkpad, I went to the website and used the advisor to find the M500 part number for my machine. I called to order several days later, and when I gave the part number to the customer representative, she immediately replied "that's for a Lenovo T400, correct?". That tells me there is a part number that is specific to the T400 series, and this may also be the case with the X240 series. Ordering from an online retailer or purchasing the M500 from a store may not have given you the correct part. Second, does your machine have Intel's Management Engine firmware installed, and do you have it enabled? Try entering BIOS and disabling it, just to see if this problem persists. I've noticed that on my T400, when I boot from the DVD drive or a USB stick, I see a brief warning message from the Management Engine stating that I'm not using the normal boot device, but then my machine boots regardless. Perhaps it's causing some sort of grief for your machine.

  • Lenovo T61p and Seagate Momentus 7200.4 POST problem in UltraBay

    Two different T61ps.  Mine is a 6459-CTO model.  Two different Seagate Momentus 7200.4 500GB drives.  System boots fine, even with a second hard drive installed in the Ultrabay SATA adapter, most recently a Samsung Spinpoint 500GB 5,400rpm drive in mine, but before that 320GB and 200GB drives.  No problems with any of those drives.
    Install a Seagate 7200.4 drive in the UltraBay adapter though and turn the system on, and the system won't complete post.  The hard disk activity indicator stays on solid.  The drive activity light on the UltraBay stays on solid.  And the system doesn't leave post.
    Unplug the UltraBay and the system boots fine.  The drive can be used if plugged into the system via USB in an external USB/SATA case, and appears to work fine as far as I can tell in this mode.
    I have updated the BIOS in this T61p to the latest and the problem persists.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    You might try limiting the data transfer rate to 1.5 Gbits per second by setting the jumper if you have one.  That's the limit that the UltraBay adapter is designed for.  Unencoded that limit would be about 1.2 Gbits per second.  The 7200.4 has a very cool internal maximum transfer rate of 1.23 Gbits per second, which might explain the intermittent booting issues.
    Hope this helps.  If it does, a report back before Newegg restocks this drive would be useful.

    I have ran a hardware scan on my Hard disk and have noticed few of the tests getting failed, I  have gone through many of  posts in this fourms and understood that, my HDD is having some problem and it may crash any time.
    I have taken back up of my factory default recovery disks in to DVD's.  However I would like get clarified on  few things related to replacing the existing HDD and setting up windows 7 in my new HDD.
    1) After replacing my OLD HDD , In my new hard disk do I need to create the C disk  with same size as that of OLD HDD for the OKR to work and restore everything properly.
    2)  Will the one key recovery feature  work with my new HDD as well? If not , what should I do make it work?
    3) Will the OEM parition( having factory default backup )be automatically created in new HDD ?
    Please find the Hardware sacn result below from Lenovo solution center.
