I an trying to install windows 7 on T42, sata driver not recognize. The win 7 stop and say no driver for the hard disk can be find and give me an option to install one.
The strange thing is that the same HD worked before on the same computer with the same windows 7. Is there any windows 7 with the sata drivers on?
i understand that i can put the drivers on a disk or usb and install them but lenovo has no drivers for t42 sata

You should not have to do anything to install Windows 7 on a T42, although there is not very good driver support for that system and Windows 7.

Check the drive mode in the BIOS and make sure it's set to ATA or Legacy.
