ThinkPad 2nd HDD Adapter for T40 -do I need to configure the hard drive?

I purchased a new Samsung HM160HC hard drive and a Thinkpad 2nd HDD adapter for Ultrabay slim for a Thinkpad T40. When I install the PATA hard drive into the adapter do I need to configure the hard drive as slave, cable select, or leave as master? Any help would be appreciated.   

Reformat usiing the original install disc then update to v10.6.8.

    What is the part # for the 2nd HDD Adapter for an Ultrabay Slim, to be used in the DVD bayCan you also confirm it is a SATA connection, I have already been sent an IBM P/N 41U3148 which has the IDE connection and appears not to fit.
    Thanks for help

    Actually, it is entirely accurate.  Here is another related thread with a lot of pictures that demonstrate the problem.  I have 3 Lenovo W520s and 3 useless Lenovo Ultramedia bay adapters.  I cannot tolerate the gap because it causes frequent drive dismounts when I pick up the laptop when it is running or even touching the side.  The newmodeus adapters I purchased to replace the defective Lenovo adapters have been rock solid!  I recommend visiting all the picture links on this thread.  It will clearly demonstrate the problem:

    Shan, it isn't entirely correct because we have a lot of W510 and W520 users in my company this doesn't occur with. I am not discounting the problem. I only take exception to the statement that blankets ALL users and ALL hard drive adaptors.  Doing that is incorrect.

  • I was just wondering if I can use time capsule with my iphone for both back up and to access the hard drive on the capsule?

    I was just wondering if I can use time capsule with my iphone for both back up and to access the hard drive on the capsule?

    I don't think backup is supported but you may be able to access the TC's internal drive, from the iPhone, with an application like: NetPortal
    Note: I haven't actually tried this app, so if someone else has and was successful in accessing the TC's drive they can certainly chime in.
    Follow-up. Just downloaded and installed this app ... and I can now verify that it, indeed, can access both my TC's internal and externally attached USB HDD.

  • Suggestion for configuring the Hard Drive

    I just replaced my windows 7 laptop with a macbook pro. (So I'm new) i like the versatility of being able to use parallels and use windows in "coherence mode" - and can keep apple apps available. I think i understand the basic concept and would assume i would parition the drive with boot camp so i can take full advantage of the system resources - memory, etc directly from windows or linux as compared to a virtual machine where i would pre-allocate space and ram and resources are mapped. I am correct? The reason I ask this is becuase I don't think i need to take the full advantage of the 4gb when i'm running Win 7 - i just use office products mostly. so would i just configure the macbook pro drive as 1 partition? and then configure parallels with the appropriate sizing? where should i store audio and itunes - in the mac of win image?

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    My question is if all you use MS Windows for is MS Office then why install Windows at all? Why don't you just get MS Office 2008 for Mac and live happily ever after?

  • I have 750gb of photos on external hard drives from my pc. how do I download then to my Mac and reformat the hard drives as backup drives for my Mac?

    I have 2 Seagate 1T hard drives that I used as auto backups on my old PC. I now need to organise my photos on my iMac and need to reformat the hard drives to backup my photos again from my new computer.
    Does anyone have any suggestions that will help me get there??

    First, this article discusses migrating documents to your iMac.

    Next, for organization of photos, I use iPhoto, which is part of the iLife suite.

  • Which 2nd hdd adaptor does T40 support?

    After looking through the Lenove support site and here, I found there are three ultrabay adapters for a 2nd HDD,
    41U3148, 62p4554 and 40Y8725
    62p4554 seems to be the officially recommended part for T40 series, and support IDE HDs, however now it's easier to find SATA HDs , and I'm also considering to add an SSD, which also requires SATA interface.
    I'd like to know if the SATA version ultrabay 40Y8725 can be used on T40?
    And anyone can fill me in on their respective data transfer rate? Many thanks.
    If I don't use SSD, but an adapter for CF cards, can I get similar speed compare to a good HDD?
    I just want to know which part will be the bottle neck on speed. Thanks.

    want to ask everybody here your opinions about using CF card+adaptor to replace hard drive.
    After some searching, it seems that all the fast enough CF cards are still very expensive, and can only hold a XP system installation. Win7 probably will require a lot of space then need a really large CF card then it's pointless. For large size (from 32 GB to 128 GB) now seems SSDs are comparable to CF card, or even cheaper.
    I really want to hear your thoughts, and if you have any experience to share with me, that would be great. I'll take as my own references.

  • Need 2nd HDD Caddy for MBP

    I have a MBP 4,1 (MB166, 17" Early 2008), this is the last style before apple went to unibody.
    I'm looking for a 2nd HDD caddy for my comp, all the ones I am finding are only for unibody! Wondering if anyone knows a place to get a pre-unibody one, thanks!

    Do some research on this one. It's listed to fit the 4.1 (and even earlier PowerBooks): http://www.powerbookmedic.com/DualDrive---Add-a-Second-Hard-Drive-to-your-Laptop -p-17316.html

  • Where would i get 2nd hdd cable for hp dv7-series (long cable) that would ship to finland.

    Where would i get 2nd hdd cable for dv7 series (long one) THAT would ship to Finland. (as the subject says eh')

    Hei:
    It depends on where in the dv7 model series your PC falls.
    There are 2 types of second HDD cables. The one Kamat pointed out for the dv7 6xxx series, and then there is this one at the link below for these dv7 series:
     http://www.newmodeus.com/shop/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=345&zenid=b451f3afd6d86cd...
    So, you will need to know what dv7 you have.
    I believe they ship worldwide. A forum member from Italy got his from here. That is how I know about this site, and all about the fact that there are 2 types of 2nd HDD cables for dv7's. 
    The only part number referenced for a 2nd HDD cable in the service manual is for the dv7-6xxx series.

  • My 2008 MacBook Pro logic board died and I'm pulling the hard drive out.  What Apple computers have room for a 2nd 2 inch hard drive?

    The logic board on my 2008 MacBook Pro died.  But the hard drive is fine.  What Apple computer has room for me to insert my old drive as a 2nd hard drive?

    You can add it to any unibody MacBook Pro in the optical drive bay, if you can get along without an optical drive and you aren't worried about voiding the warranty (or if the machine you buy isn't under warranty). You can't add it to a Macbook Air, Mac Mini, or iMac, but you can easily put it into a Mac Pro. And of course with any Mac you can put it into an external enclosure and use it as an external drive.
    See my second post in this thread for a couple of enclosure recommendations:

  • Will this enclosure work for the hard drive on my G4 laptop.

    I am looking for an enclosure that will all me to connect my G4 Laptop Hard drive...will this work?
    http://www.sourcingmap.com/brown-usb-sata-hdd-aluminum-external-hard-drive-enclo sure-case-p-18880.html

    Pre-September 2003 Powerbook G4s without a PCMCIA slot will be limited to USB 1.1 speeds with this enclosure.
    PCMCIA and Post September 2003 Powerbooks can use the hard drive with reasonable speed as USB 2 if there are no other USB 1.1 devices connected to the USB port. PCMCIA powered USB adapters exist that can be used for those Powerbooks with PCMCIA.
    Neither series Powerbook will be able to boot Mac OS X from that enclosure. A Firewire enclosure would be needed to boot the the drive as an external drive, and know you have a reliable clone, if your purpose is to make a clone backup.
    Note, you posted this question in the iBook G4 forum, yet your profile indicates you have a Powerbook G4. We can ask a moderator move your thread if your question is regarding Powerbooks. No iBook has PCMCIA slots. Look beneath your screen on the screen's frame, but above the keyboard to determine which machine you have. Powerbooks can be identified here:

  • I was given the wrong macbook when I gave mine in for repair.  I want to complain.  Also, they wiped ALL my data off the hard drive.  I want to complain to someone in authority.  How?

    I am extremely disappointed and angry with Apple service.  I am a writer and booked three weeks in Spain so that I could finish my book.  On the second day my laptop cut out on me asI was working on it, so I took it to Goldenmack in Cadiz.  Not only was I given someone else's macbook when I went back to collect it, but then when I returned to the UK, the Apple shop in Brighton managed to delete ALL my data from the hard drive because I was unlucky enough to get a trainee on her first day.  I have since learned she should not have deleted my data without even running a diagnostic.  She told me she was going to 'restore' the drive.  I took this to mean she was going to restore my work.  But no!  She erased the lot.
    I complained and eventually was put in touch with a supervisor, who I was told  had authority to resolve the issue. She said she would get the shop to phone me.  That was ten days ago and I'm still waiting. 
    Ok so there's nothing I can do now to get back the three chapters of my book that I have lost and didn't back up, but the  hard drive on this laptop is still faulty.  I try to back up my work every time I use the machine but as soon as I attach an external drive, the whole thing shuts down. I can't use it any more as I can't risk losing any more work.    This laptop is only just over a year old and this is just not acceptable, especially since I have really looked after it. 
    This is an appalling service I have encountered from Apple, and I am not going to ignore it.  I have contacted the young chap whose laptop I was erroneously given, and the repair of which I paid for! (although I did eventually get a refund),  to ask him if he had been given mine as well.  He said he had been completely unaware that his laptop had been given to me and he is furious as he had loads of "sensitive material" on it."  I have no idea in whose hands my laptop has been either, or indeed what damage it sustained while it was supposed to be in for repair.

  • I have an external drive - WD My Passport FOR MAC. I want to format it to work on both mac and windows. Which format do you think I should use? Will either one cause damage to the files on the hard drive?

    I have an external hard drive - WD My Passport FOR MAC. I want to format it to work on both mac and windows. I also want to be able to connect it to my TV and watch movies.
    I read up and I think I am supposed to use exFAT or FAT32? I also saw MS-DOS. Which format should I should use? Will any of them cause damage to the files on the hard drive?
    My little memory stick uses MS-DOS and it works on both mac and windows.
    Please can you just tell me a little about each and suggest which one to use.
    I know how to change it once you tell me so don't waste your time writing about changing it.

    Will any of them cause damage to the files on the hard drive?
    WARNING: FORMATTING A DRIVE ERASES IT COMPLETELY !!
    If you need to carry large files (e.g., larger than about 4GB) back and forth, you may need ExFAT. Otherwise MS-DOS works for smaller files.
    The Mac can Read, but not write Windows New Technology File System (NTFS) without an add-on program such as Paragon NTFS.
