I recently came across an older Thinkpad T20. Unfortunatly I wasnt
aware of the bios problem untill after a fresh install of 5.4-release
took place and I rebooted. My question is, I have an older ThinkPad 570
that does not have a CD or floppy drive or working usb port. I can take
the HDD out of the T20 and put it in the 570 and it works fine. The
problem is that due to the lack of secondary boot device I cant wipe
the disk. Does anyone have any suggestions on a way to get around this?
If all else fails I can toss the HDD in my girlfrieds laptop sometime
this week or purchase an adaptor to attach the HDD to my workstation.
Either way any input at all would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
