    I was recently gifted an old IBM Thinkpad R32. I wanted to reformat it using my windows 7 CD. Unfortunately, nothing appears when I boot from the CD while in the internal drive, just a blinking underscore. I then am using an external DVD drive that requires two USB ports on the laptop. This method seems to be working, as I now get an error message instead of skipping to the linux operating system I installed on it briefly. 

     

    I choose the "Removable device" at the menu after I press f12 for the boot options on startup.

     

    2GB of RAM is installed and has a 1.80GHz Pentium 4 processor.

Windows has encountered a problem communicating with a device connected to your computer.



This error can be caused by unplugging a removable storage device such as an external USB drive while the device is in use, or by faulty hardware such as a hard drive or CD-ROM drive that is failing. Make sure any removable storage is properly connected and then restart your computer.



File: \boot\BCD

Status: 0xc00000e9

Info: An unexpected I/O error has occured.
    I should also note that the installation disk works fine on my desktop computer.

    Check that the CD/DVD has no scratches and run a HDD diagnostic toolkit so see that the HDD is ok.
