Maybe BIOS doesn't support these drives? Are they large drives? How old are your Thinkpads?

laptops oldish but not extremely old, TP 600E and 560Z, PII 400 & PII 300. funny thing is drives were working, i assume, just fine in these laptops until guys (my friends) used machines up to point where everything was to be reinstalled. drives are 10 and 18 GB. even if BIOS doesnt recognize, Ontrack Disk Manager should, i think? i'll try to update bios, see what happens.

10 and 18Gb.... both sould work fine.
Check all the cables, connectors... power, etc.
