Hi,
recently I got a Seagate Momentus 500GB HDD (ST500LM012) and wanted to install it on T60 2007-. In USB passport everything is OK, got even a OS copy to the new drive (exact the same size, no resizing).
But then after fitting it to my laptop, when the Lenovo screen blackens & the Win7 should start - there is no Win7....only black screen with HDD LED flickering like mad...
Got to the BIOS, the BIOS gets the HDD recognized...btw, it's 2.26 version!
Tried it again for a moving OS with program AOMEI Partition assistant...didn't work...
Tried to put SATA from AHCI to Compatibility mode...didn't work...
Tried to find a newer drives for the Seagate, or firmware...didn't find any...right now I'm using a firmware 2BA30001...if you have a link, I would appreciate it!
Tried to update a BIOS with USB, making a USB bootable with "ISO to USB"...didn't work to update to 2.27!
Do you have some other option?

Re: T60 & Seagate Momentus problem
BIOS update? It's strange as you've mentioned that computer has recognized HDD. Have you tried to install OS from CD having HDD installed on your T60?

Conventional wisdom on this forum says that if you're cloning a hard drive for ThinkPads (which sounds like what you're doing), you should put the destination drive in the internal drive bay, and the source drive in an external enclosure or whatever. The other way around often does not work.

Re: T60 & Seagate Momentus problem
I'll second this. I used to have problems sometimes cloning HDDs (using Acronis True Image on CD) but once I cottoned on to always having the destination drive in the primary drive bay and the 'old' drive in a USB enclosure it works every time.twistero wrote:Conventional wisdom on this forum says that if you're cloning a hard drive for ThinkPads (which sounds like what you're doing), you should put the destination drive in the internal drive bay, and the source drive in an external enclosure or whatever.

From R40s, through all my T4xs and my (currently) four T60s, cloning a HDD is no longer a hit'n'miss job. It's simple, reliable and has become routine.
