BlayneRTFM, I have the same cpu in one of my pc's. It runs at about 48c using a copper based heatsink and some thermal paste.

lw, Thanks for the info. I can't grip screws so i also use the "little yellow thing" as mentioned by wahnula. I think it is called a retractor. I don't do field work anymore just bench. A handheld or bench magnifier is a must for me. Dental picks (found at local hardware stores)are also good...

dinster, Did you run the install cd that came with the enclosure?

Maggieddd, Something to read. http://www.dewassoc.com/kbase/hard_drives/clusters.htm

darre007, GetDataBack will retrieve it for you. I use it often but you have to purchase it. Http://www.runtime.org

gearhead03, Try booting into safe mode. If it is still really slow then you may have other issues. Worth trying what TomCologne mentioned using Recovery Console and doing a repair.

Frankenherder, My understanding is that the L3K stands for Lenovo 3000 series.

imquazar, The old display adapter drivers might be getting in the way. Boot into safe mode. Go to device manager, display adapter and uninstall the original display adapter. Reboot.

ruler1, I would suspect memory or hard drive.

ChillLead, Your primary ide device may be jumpered wrong,unplugged or dead.

What about termination on the new drive?

bobsalas, Probably the cmos battery was low. Some of the drives may have been jumpered wrong as well.

kikat, Have a look in the bios to see if the PS/2 port is enabled.

The compatibility-mode drivers might be loading from the DOSSTART.BAT or the SYSTEM.INI. Maybe even the WIN.INI Load or Run line.Might be worth having a look there. Is it possible to remove the drive and slave it to another system for data recovery? Ed, you don't suppose installing another OS...
