Problems with drives and other storage devices
This section includes storage drive problems.
Storage drive problems
• Problem: The storage drive makes a rattling noise intermittently.
Solution: The rattling noise might be heard:
– When the storage drive begins or finishes getting access to data.
– When you carry the storage drive.
– When you carry your computer.
This is a normal characteristic of a storage drive and is not a defect.
• Problem: The storage drive does not work.
Solution: On the Startup menu of ThinkPad Setup, make sure that the storage drive is on the Boot
priority order list. If it is on the Excluded from boot order list, it is disabled. Select the entry for it on the
list and press Shift+1 to move it back to the Boot priority order list.
• Problem: After setting a hard disk password on the storage drive of the computer, you moved the drive to
another computer. Now you cannot unlock the hard disk password.
Solution: Your computer supports an enhanced password algorithm. Computers older than yours might
not support such a security function.
A solid-state drive problem
Problem: When you compress files or folders by use of the data compression function in Windows, and
then decompress them, the process of writing to or reading from the files or folders is slow.
Solution: Apply the disk defragmentation tool in Windows for faster access to the data.
A software problem

Solution: Make sure that the problem is not being caused by the application.
