i cant boot any bootdisk.
i can only install ms dos on the hdd using vmware or another laptop and then i can boot ms dos on thinkpad.
right now i installed ms dos 6.0 with cd-rom driver. now im running setup from the cd.
this laptop do not support booting from cd. only floppy. but i dont have a floppy drive 🙁
Edit:
so i did this
took the hdd out and put it in a compaq and installed msdos with cd-rom driver
i installed back the hdd on thinkpad and booted fine ms-dos and started setup from cd-rom.
installed fine but on first reboot it gets stuck on flashing line - and thats it.
funny thing is .. if i take the hdd from compaq and put it in thinkpad.. it boots 98 from compaq fine !!!
hdd has good health and no bad sectors.
