Answer» hi every one
I have thinkpad R30 with ultrabay cd-dvd and running win xp pro, now every time i start the laptop it goes into the bio's only with error message 0202 IDE secondary channel MASTER drive error but if I take the drive out window start normally? any SUGGESTION and how 2 .....please and thank youThe drive is not seated properly...remove all power and the battery and carefully inspect inside the drive bay with a FLASHLIGHT for any obstructions.
You can blow it out with compressed air to clean it.
DO NOT insert any sharp or metal objects in there.
Next inspect the slots on the drive itself and gently clean the contacts. QTips and rubbing alcohol are good for this.
Re-assemble everything and see if the error goes away...if not it is an internal wiring problem and needs to see the computer shop.
Has this unit been DROPPED recently ? ?
