"The model is 2379-DWU. Could there be something odd about this machine that prevents booting from the USB HDD, and is there anything I can do about it?"
It could be one of the myriad T42 machines with a non-functioning USB port. This would not show up in the BIOS diagnostics. The only tests I can think of are (a) trying to boot from an external CD, and (b) popping in a HD with an OS already installed, eg a HD from another T42. _______________________________________________ Thinkpad mailing list [email protected] http://stderr.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/thinkpad
