Installation Guide
------------------

1. Place a blank, formatted floppy diskette in the A: drive. 
2. Close all open applications 
3. Click the FWHD2201.EXE link to download the file from the Web page. 
4. When prompted, select a drive and directory in which to save the downloaded file. 
5. Run the FWHD220.EXE file you downloaded to create the first bootable diskette. 
6. Follow the instructions on the screen to create the diskette. 
7. When the diskette has been created, place the diskette in the ThinkPad system 
    that has the hard disk drive to be updated. 
8. Boot the system from the diskette. The firmware update utility will show all of the 
    Hard disk drives that have been detected.  They will be listed in the upper area of 
    the Main Menu. If  the drive requires an update is detected, it will be indicated with 
    a blinking mark on the left.
9. Follow the instructions on the screen to update the firmware.
10. If an update is available for your drive, it may not be present on the 
     FWHD220.EXE diskette. If this is the case, the diskette name that contains the 
     firmware will be displayed. Download that diskette and go through these steps 
     again replacing the FWSE1101 with the diskette name displayed on the screen. 
11. When the installation is complete, remove the Firmware Update Utility
      diskette from floppy disk drive and power off your ThinkPad system. Do not restart the 
      ThinkPad system with the ctrl-alt-del keys.
   
NOTES:

- The diskette contains several executable files other than FW.EXE.
   DO NOT RUN THESE PROGRAMS. Running these programs other than
   FW.EXE could ruin your HDD.

 - The update utility can not identify a hard disk drive in the docking station with the 
   exception of the 570 UltraBase.  In this case, remove the drive from the docking station 
   and install it in a device bay of your ThinkPad system and then boot this diskette. If 
   you encounter a problem installing the hard disk drive into your ThinkPad, please 
   call your local Help Center.

- Do not power off the ThinkPad during firmware being updated,  or your hard disk 
  drive may not be usable anymore.
