    I bought a T61 (WinXP) a year ago. It has a 100G HD when I bought it and I used it for a while. Six months ago, I replaced the 100G HD with a 200G HD, but I still keep the 100G HD. After I have this 200G HD, I installed many applications.

    Now I need to put this 100G HD back. Can the T61 work properly with this 100G HD without me doing any extra work? If not, what I need to do to make it work properly?

    Thanks a lot for your input!

    Cheers!

    If you didn't reformat the HD it should just work again.. that's what i use to do with my 386 laptop.. swapping HDs for different programs...

    only thing that might be effected (but highly doubt).. if you got any hardware changes (lenovo might have used a different part/brand) or you did a bios update? (ya.. these two reasons are just random ideas... probably wouldn't matter)

    You can always just try.. it'll take you 5 minutes?
