I just got this drive after my 80 Gig fujitsu died and this problem is a serious concern :-/
Thanks,

Welcome to the club!
I joined the forum w/ the same concern; I wanted to update my 100 GB Hitachi to 160 GB Hitachi, but everyone here tells me that it is impossible, since IBM does not have any firmware for HDDs that large.
So, bro, if you discover that it is possible, let me know; I would be trilled to update my T43p w/ a 160 GB one.
Dave, instead of spending time writing on this forum, I would suggest to write e-mails or letters to Lenovo to release a 160 GB PATA HDD for T43p or at least a firmware update for it. That will solve the problem and if all the guys from this forum do the same, there is a good chance they will do it.
Wish you all the best!
