    :confused: Hello everyone,

    I'm trying to change my hard drive on my ThinkPad t43 with SSD one but i can't begin Windows XP setup because of the firmware. I have to update it and i don't know how to do it.

    How can i solve the problem? Can i use SSD hard drive on IBM T43 and if i can how can i install Windows XP? Please advise. Thanks!
