X6 Ultrabase & Ultrabay Slim Drive compatible with X200?

I am looking at ordering a new Lenovo ThinkPad X200.
I currently have an IBM ThinkPad X60 with:
1. X6 UltraBase Docking Station
2. ThinkPad Combo II Ultrabay Slim Drive - Disk drive - CD-RW / DVD-ROM combo - 24x24x24x/8x - IDE - plug-in module
    a. This drive's model number is HL-DT-st dvdram gsa-4083n
I know it's a long shot, but I'm wondering if either my existing UltraBase or UltrabaySlim Drive would be compatible with the X200.  It would save me a little money and recycle some parts.
Anyone have a clue about this?

no they are not compatible with each other. The ultrabase for the X200 is totally different to the one used in the X6x machines, the size are different too. The optical drive connector has changed from the PATA to SATA format.

  • External hard drive compatible with macbook pro 10.5.8

    external hard drive compatible with macbook pro 10.5.8, i need a hard drive that will work with 10.5.8 to back everything up before upgrading to 10.6. a hard drive that is compatable with 10.5.8 has been impossible to find, a hard drive that works with both opperating systems is what i am looking for, any information that can help is appreciated

    You can buy just about any USB2.0 hard drive and use it with your MacBook Pro.  Many older external drives come pre-partitioned and formatted FAT32 for use on Windows.  Your Mac can use that file system as well, but it has limitations on file sizes.  You can always re-partition your external drive and re-format it as HFS+ (MacOS Extended Journaled) then your old Mac OS version and your new one should both be able to access it just fine.  One thing to keep in mind is that many older OSes don't really handle drives larger than 2TB well, so you would probably want to try to keep your external drive to something smaller than 2TB...

  • Where can I find a print driver compatible with OS 10.7 for USB HP LaserJet P1006?

    Where can I find and download a print driver compatible with OS 10.7.5 on iMac for USB HP LaserJet P1006?
    Ran software update. Apple notes that a driver is unavailable, consult HP (who seems to offer only info but no software download available).
    Any troubleshooting info or hints are appreciated.

    Hi LPfromMA,
    I'm sorry to hear you've run into difficulties finding the driver for your HP Laserjet P1006 for your Mac OS X 10.7.5.
    I have included a document with the steps to download and install the driver for your printer and your Mac. It has a section for a USB connection.  I have also checked HP.com and there is driver for Mac OS X 10.7.

  • UltraBay CD/DVD Combo Drive Compatibility with X200 UltraBase

    I have a T500 with a CD-RW / DVD-ROM drive (part #44C1930). Wondering if this drive is compatible with the X200 Ultrabase or I need to get a whole new drive altogether?
    Help would be appreciated.

    if it is from the T400, T500 or W500 then it is compatible with the X200 ultrabase.

  • External Hard Drive Compatible with Mac and Windows?

    So my old laptop is a Dell Latitude and I bought a Western Digital external hard drive and put all my files/pics/music on it. The information the WD came with said its compatible with Mac and Windows, but when I plug it into my brand spankin new Macbook, it doesn't register with the computer and won't show up. What's going on?

    I recently ran into that problem. In order to have the hard drive compatible for both PC and Mac it must be in a FAT32 format. In order to do this though all your files will be deleted (in order to reformat). You can do this by plugging in the hard drive into you mac and going under disk utility and there you will find your hard drive and under erase change the format to FAT32 and then you press erase (all will be deleted off the external drive though)

  • External hard drive compatible with mac

    I recently purchased a Lacie external hd (the porsche design P´9220). Had some initial trouble with getting it up and running, had to switch primary partition hd to actually get the 1 TB storage amount. I did this on a pc in computer management, because I couldn´t figure out how to do this on my mac. Anyway, when I swiched the primary partition hard drive to the right one, I only had two options for formating, either NTFS or exFAT. I thought exFAT would work on mac, but turns out it doesn´t.. Is there any way I can format this hd to fat/ fat32 either on mac or pc?? The whole point of buying this hd was that I thought it would be compatible with BOTH mac and pc at the same time..
    Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

    Nah:
    Drive Preparation
    1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to two and size them to your preferences. Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you created for Windows use, click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the Format Type to MSDOS then click on the Erase button.

  • External hard drives compatible with time capsule generation 3

    I am trying to connect a little 160Gb HP hard drive to my time capsule via a hub which also connects successfully a non wireless printer. This particular hard drive uses two usb in's to connect. Once i plug it into time capsule, it powers up, thinks for a while,the wee blue light becomes solid and there it is.
    However it does not show up in the finder sidebar under Shared - though i have set preferences to show everything. the hard drive is formatted correctly, and i can access it when i plug it directly into the imac.
    am i missing something ? or is it just not compatible with my time capsule ? - perhaps the two usb connections are the cause? i just want to be able to save files and access them on the external hard drive via the network from imac and laptop, instead of having to plug it in to either.....
    any help much appreciated...

    yep am using a  usb hub,time cap. has only the one usb port- yes two usb outs on the hard drive , sorry, which merge into one into the hd, is bus powered...

  • External DVD drive compatible with Windows 8

    I am looking to purchase an external DVD drive to use with the U430 laptop which is running Windows 8.  Which units does lenovo offer that can run in this OS?  Would the 0A33988 work; the specs only list Windows 7.  I don't think the DB60 will work in Windows 8.
    Thanks

  • USB drives compatible with MAC and Win

    Can anyone help me out. I need to encrypt my USB drive but such that it can be decrypted by both my Mac and a Windows machine.
    1) If I encrypt the USB drive using the MAC to create an encrypted disk image, will the Windows machine be able to access this disk image?
    2) Is there a decent USB drive on the market with encryption software compatible with both Mac and Windows machines?
    Thanks for any help (and excuse my Mac ignorance !)

    I have the same issue and ended up damaging my USB when Sandisk tried to format it so it can be used for MAC. Its very frustrating that all these big companies can't make MAC compatible software. What's more frustrating is that they advertise their product saying it works with WINDOWS n MAC but when you go check out the encryption software then its only windows compatible.

  • Is the latest 280.26 nvidia driver compatible with MacBook Pro 6,2 model?

    Is the latest nvidia driver (280.26) compatible with MacBook Pro 6,2 model)? Boot Camp 4.0 comes with the 262.41 nvidia driver, but I'd like to upgrade to the latest 280.26. The official 280.26 driver page on the nvidia site says that GeForce GT 330M is compatible, but in the footnote is written this thing:
    Notebooks supporting Hybrid Power technology with Intel chipsets are not supported by this release
    Do you think this is the case of MacBook Pro 6,2 model? Can I upgrade the driver without any problem?
    P.S.

  • This hard-drive compatible with T400?

    I ran a hardware scan through lenovo tools and my Thinkpad T400 2764-CTO's hard drive failed the SMART Short Self test and the Surface Scan Test-2. That's pretty bad right? (Actually it has failed those 2 tests for the past month now) 
    If it is bad, I was thinking of getting this hard-drive to replace it http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Scorpio-2-5-Inch-Notebook/dp/B005DVJJWQ/ref=pd_cp_e_2  Anyone know if it would be compatible with my laptop?
    Thanks a lot!  

    I'm sure you were hoping for a simple answer, but the answer is "maybe". This is an "advanced format" drive, which means it has 4k sectors, instead of the traditional 512-byte sectors. If you are running an OS that is aware of AF drives (like windows 7 with SP1 installed), it will work if you build the drive with a tool that is compatible, like a recent version of acronis. Rescue and recovery or OEM recovery disks will not work.  Lenovo does not guarantee compatibility with any machine that was not originally sold with AF drives, like T420.

    Once you decide on a suitable drive usually it is easiest to install the new drive in a external case and clone it with Carbon Copy Cloner or Super Duper. Once cloned then boot using the external drive with the new clone and make sure it will boot, then a Disk Utility to repair permissions on the new clone. Once satisfied that all is well then do the surgury and install the clone in the PB.
    Keep the old drive around for a week or so before you erase it and make sure the new drive is performing ok.
    By cloning you will avoid the hassel of re-installing all your software again.
