You could get Drive Fitness Test from Hitachi, if the drive is an IBM 
Travelstar.  The 20GB drives had a problem with sudden and dramatic 
failures.  I had one that would not 'hold' XP.  I finally got rid of it 
and replaced it with another drive.

BTW, I use FC3 on an A22p and there are many running FC3 on different 
models of IBM Thinkpads.  There even is a list for using Linux on IBM 
Thinkpads.  Send me a message off-list if you are interested in 
subscription information.
