This poor thing, just got a Thinkpad 600x from my dad ( @yestergearpc ) and this thing is trying so hard to do what it needs to, but it hasn't been turned on in 20 years so it's struggling very hard #VintageTech #ibm #ibmpc #vintagepc
Don't mind the bad quality, but this makes me understand why the laptop was lagging so so much. We're gonna have to wipe it and put windows 2k on it instead
Okay so we may not be doing 2k, were putting in a new hardrive. It all depends on how things go
So, uh. I went way to big for the hard drive. The max is 8 gigs; I went for 64.. so we may have to go back to the other hardrive :/
Nope, we gotta put the old hardrive back in
Aaand the CD/DVD drive isn't working, so we can't even install 2k, this poor 600
Gonna try to figure out why it isn't working
Yep, the lasers aren't working @yestergearpc tried to look for a new CD drive but the one he found is the exact opposite of what we need.. this is depressing LMAO
So we have to get a new CD/DVD drive, how fun :|
Alternatively.. we could try to find an 18-20 gig hardrive which would work(that is what we are trying to do now)
Alright we're seeing if it boots now
Wait it may work, we'll wait and see
