View Full Version : Win XP CD-RW in Thinkpad ultrabay not working

I have upgraded my Thinkpad a21-m to Windows XP. I am now having
problems with the Portable Drive Bay 2000, which I attach with the IBM
PCMCIA card. At start up the drive flashes the power light in red,
but it does not turn green, and then goes out entirely. This happens
early in the start up process, and Win XP does not try to install the
relevant drivers until much later in the start up process.

The batteries in the bay are good and the bay is recognized with a
flashing green light in a Thinkpad 770X running Win2000.

The appropriate driver is provided in Win XP.

Device manager tells me that the device has been recognized and is
installed, but will not start. It gives "error code 10." Microsoft
says this is a driver problem, but it seems to me that is not likely
the case since the appropriate driver is there. Any ideas as to what
is interfering with this device running.

For what it is worth, the Microsoft tech wrote to me about this issue
as follows:>>>>>>>>
From the setupapi.log, I noticed this device is installed successfully
with Windows XP built-in driver, and it is recognized as IBM Portable
Drive Bay 2000 (PCMCIA). For your reference, I’d like to list them:

========================================================
Therefore, we can conclude the related installation file, pnpscsi.PNF
and pnpscsi.inf, works properly. The built-in driver is also
installed. However, this device still cannot work properly. I believe
we need to install the update driver for this device in Windows XP. I
have searched in IBM web site and did not found its driver for Windows
XP.>>>>>>>>>>>

Help!?
