Hi
I haven't given anyone anything much to go on here, but maybe someone could help point me in the right direction? Maybe Core 3 is just not going to work on this thinkpad or maybe it could be faulty hardware?

You could get Drive Fitness Test from Hitachi, if the drive is an IBM Travelstar. The 20GB drives had a problem with sudden and dramatic failures. I had one that would not 'hold' XP. I finally got rid of it and replaced it with another drive.

BTW, I use FC3 on an A22p and there are many running FC3 on different models of IBM Thinkpads. There even is a list for using Linux on IBM Thinkpads. Send me a message off-list if you are interested in subscription information.
