Anyone has experience with changing HDD for Fujitsu laptop?
I am trying to change the HDD for my S6520...BIOS can detect the
HDD...but it seems like I always get the BSOD STOP 0x0000007B error
at WIndows XP installation....I am not sure if its because the
firmware restricts "non-fujitsu" HDD from being used....I put my
new HDD in a casing and "chkdsk /f" it....no bad
sectors...formatted NTFS...nothing wrong when I use it as external
storage...
Not sure if its the same as IBM laptops...cannot use "non-IBM"
HDD....it will work for IBM...but will have a nag screen at every
bootup.Fujitsu straightaway BSOD...
Anyone?
Go into the BIOS. I don't know the layout of the Fujitsu BIOS,
so I can't quite say which menu to go to. Go to something like
"Advanced", or "Advanced chipset features" or something around that
line. Look for a field like SATA Mode, or HDD mode or something
like that. Ensure it is set to IDE, and not AHCI. AHCI mode
requires drivers to be installed during installation.
