I fear that BIOS may have some issue. I have a T43 and found that, if I booted with the DVD installed, atacontrol (this was prior to ATA-CAM) would allow me to detach, but if I then inserted a hard drive and tried to attach it, the system would lock up. If I booted with a hard drive in the bay, I could detach, change drives, and attach with no problems. I don't recall if I could replace the hard drive with a DVD, though and I don't have physical access to that system ATM. Still, this sounds rather similar to what I saw and it was unique to the T43. I have had several other ThinkPads, all of which allow me to swap out the DVD for a different drive including the T520 I am using to enter this reply. --=20 R.
