THanks fbrdphreak. Got me another T40 for backup coming.

I've got a T40 that I've lugged all over the country. I stuck a Linksys G WiFi card in it for wireless. It is a pain if you forget the G card at home. I like the weight and thin frame, my older laptops were anchors. I'm using it mostly for Photoshop, Dreamweaver, email, Word etc to run a...

In need to send my IBM Thinkpad T40 in for some repair, the one USB port is munched from travel abuse and the USB hub isn't cutting it. I want to buy a 2nd backup T40 and just pop my current good hard drive into the spare good T40. My current T40 is running W2K and no problems with the...

Thanks for the help.

DNS Error after lost connection during IE auto update. Winsock 2 problem? I was letting the IE auto update do it's thing when I lost my cable connection. It corrupted IE somehow where now all I get is a page not found and a DNS error. Netscape and Firefox work fine so it's not a router...

I reformatted my T40 and put W2K on it instead of XP. All I have left to fix is the IBM T40 burner. I need the driver. IBM has been no help. I got the recovery CDs but don't see any drivers listed on them. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

You da man Kaervak. Got it running. Yippeeee. Thanks.

Thanks Kaervak, That cleared up a couple of the device manager problems. I got my Netgear 624 Wireless router to work for about 5 minutes only to fine out out NEtgear has some serious issues with that router. I upgraded the firmware only to have the unit quit working. Reading some of the rant...

Thanks Kaervak, I downloaded that file and I get this error on install. Installshield Engine (Ikernal.exe) could not be launched. The RPC server is unavailable.

IBM T40, W2K install, drivers, hardware. Model 2373-72U I formatted the partition to get rid of XP and installed a fresh W2K. Usual driver headaches. I just ordered the recovery CD from IBM to help get it all sorted out. Right now I would love to just get the Ethernet LAN working so I can use...

Thanks Dave, I forgot about BM and PM. Of course I have the W98 version of them. Can I download PM and create the new partition and then load W2K to it? Will the partition accecpt FAT32 so W2k will install there? Right now the IBM laptop with XP is my only working puter.

I tried to install the W2K but ran into a snag. I can boot to the W2K CD but when I go to install it it, XP will not let me create a new partition. The other 2 install choices are to delete the current XP partition which gives a warning since that will nuke the driver and other hardware stuff...

Installing Windows 2000 Pro on IBM T-40 laptop. Now here's the curve. I don't want the Windows XP that came already installed on the laptop. Laptop only has a CD drive and I can read the W2000 Pro CD files but cannot install W2K, I get an "this CD was created with an older version of...

Thanks for the help RustyNale. I moved the CMOS jumper to 2 & 3 for BIOS recovery. I put the jumper back in for normal op and reset my BIOS settings and still the same problem. Slow boot, I get a POST, then long beep and "Operating System not found" error message on monitor. Change the CMOS...

Thanks for the help JAAG, I found some info on the BIOS recovery. It says a disk is needed in the floppy drive. I don't have this disk. Do I need to search out the BIOS info from Phoenix or just wing it without a disk?
