    I've bought a brand-new ThinkPad X220i for a few days. When I turned on the machine, thinkpad logo displaying on the screen,it gave the message "2102: detection error on HDD1 (ultrabay HDD). Press ESC to ignore the error." After pressing ESC,I can use the computer normally.
    I used diagnostic programs to identify hardware problems。The results showed that the hard disk drive was normal.So I contacted Lenovo for help ,the technical engineer told me that the mainbord had problems and they would replace a new one. I don't know whether this is quality or design flaws.
    Anyone met the same situation?
    Any help?

    do you have a ultrabase installed with a ultrabay hdd?

    Check your boot order in the bios.

    No.
    I haven't installed any else hard wares or soft wares in the machine.
    The bios settings is default.

    Hardware Maintenance Manual - ThinkPad X220 and X220i (0a60739_01)

    2102
    Initialization error on HDD1 (Ultrabay hard disk drive)

    FRU or action, in sequence
    1. Reseat the hard disk drive.
    2. Ultrabay hard disk drive.
    3. System board.

    Lenovo provides a free replacement system board.
    Notice that abnormal shutoff might damage the system board.

    I had the same problem when received my X220i as well. It required a replacement of the system board (which was free). Eventually I became dissatisfied with the X220, sold it and got a T410s instead.

    I had X220 repaired. Now I'm using it which is portable for me.
