Yes! That fixed it. Everything works now. Thanks! For the record: I downloaded the "Configuration utility for DOS - ThinkPad General" from: http://www-3.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?Indocid=MIGR-4ZFPEG Ran the exe file on a Windows machine, burned the "%WINROOT%\DRIVERS\WIN\UTILITY" folder (which the exe file just created) on a cd. Booted my X40 on a MS-DOS 7.10 bootable CD. Inserted the cd I just prepared, and ran the ps2.exe utility as follows: D:\UTILITY> PS2.EXE IDE2 Disable And rebooted. Best regards, Rasmus Skaarup
