I have a IBM L40SX laptop, this one came with a Conner CP2067 60MB harddrive in it.
The harddrive wasn't working anymore so I replaced it with a 10GB IBM drive but I wanted to make it original again.
Got myself a refurbished CP2067 harddrive, but this one spinned up, but after that it started clicking. Got it replaced for another tested and working CP2067, but got the same problem. Put back the 10GB and got it working again.
Somehow this L40SX has problems with older IDE drives, although they come fitted with one inside.
I looks like it doesn't get enough power to spin up normal like it should, maybe the older drives need more power to spin up.
Anyone out there has any idea what could be wrong??
And yes, I used the reference disk to reconfigure, but the drives are not recognized.
