    Just upgraded from XP to Win7 on a X31 with Dock II (+ DVD-ROM drive). If I have the DVD drive inserted in the dock, then Win7 crashes on the startup screen (= freezing during the windows logo animation, no BSOD); without the DVD drive, Win7 starts up fine! No problem with the DVD drive inserted back in XP.

    Anyone else with this issue? (anyone else with such an old thinkpad? :p)

    It's possible that no one with an X31 who knows the answer has been in the forum today so far. I believe this forum has a 24 hour waiting period on bumping your own thread.

    You can also check at TPF's board for older X series. The bump rules there are 3 days...

    The crowd here tends to be much newer to ThinkPads.
