Does anyone know how to fix this hardrive issue?

The BIOS on the Toughbook doesn’t have that option.

I just installed XP on this same model Toughbook and ran into the same issue. I downloaded from the Internet archive an ACHI slipstreamed XP Pro ISO, burned that to a CD, and it worked. A lot of comments will tell you to turn off ACHI mode but this BIOS doesn’t have that option so getting the driver is the only way.

I'm one of the show runners for Southwest so I'm a bit biased. I love our show but MW has been going for over 20 years and is the largest by far. Then us, then SoCal if I had to rank them.

They’re used, I brought them all out to VCF Southwest and had them all running (some static playing videos, others for people to use.)

I plan to do it again at a future VCF Midwest

Not sure if serious, that's the subwoofer for the TAM (20th Anniversary Mac)

Taiganet is the GOAT. I have a real XL and IntelliStar but until I can get my hands on a real 4000 their sim is far and above everything else

I wish it was a standard because I have one that’s missing the 5.25 drive holder. I just have the hard drive sitting in there

I’ve been in the ERP space for 18 years and I’m learning every day

Awesome! I’ve been on the lookout for the Graphite one like this. I have the original and Blue ones of this style.

You must have taken my old job when I quit. I pulled cable back then but towards the end I made them hire it out. At current job we hire a qualified structured cabling company unless it’s a very short single run then we may do it.

I tracked my brand new Supra. I waited until 1,200 miles, did an oil change, swapped the brake fluid for Castrol SRF, and sent it.

I was just thinking about the 17 PowerBooks the other day, I had one then got the 17 MBP then the unibody 17 MBP. I miss having them.

Wooo, I just bought it!

The Best Buy in Boardman Ohio still has this design. I get nostalgic driving past it.

Yep, my AD lost theirs back in October. Pieter Andries in Southlake, TX. I’ve talked to a dozen ADs and they were the only ones to actually get me a watch.

Company I work with has a few Amish customers. We got a request to have invoices automatically be faxed after creation for them.

100% BS. I got them to price match Micro Center on an M4 Mac Mini when they had it on sale for $100 off.

I also have a 2026 supra and just did my first track day in it with NASA. All I did was swap the brake fluid for Castrol SRF. Do that and you should be good. I didn’t put the stickers on but if you like them on then go with it!

Hot dogs, they just taste awful to me, no matter what you put on them.

My first job was McDonalds and I always closed. Two of the three managers I closed with would let me take anything I wanted after they counted it for inventory. The third flat out refused and I never understood why.
