Oops, the Grid 15xx laptops recognize 6 Conner HDs.
The CP3022CP3024CP3044CP3042CP344CP3104 . But
as I said there is a file on how to modify the Bios for
some others on the Yahoo site. Also to boot from floppy
press "f" immediately after the beep. The setup file
should work even if the internal battery or (in most 15xx
models) Dallas RTC is dead, IIRC. To erase a password
on the Dallas model is another problem however.

In the files section are set-up and boot disk files which
would allow you to boot from floppy and at least see if the
HD is recognized. If not you need to replace your HD with
one of the 3 the 1530 recognizes. There is also a file to
alter the BIOS to allow a larger Connor HD than the biggest
80meg one to be installed.
I regularly give my 2 Grid 1520s a sharp rap or twist to
unstick the HD. :^) I haven't anything of value on it that I
can't replace with a backup and haven't yet found a cheap
Connor with the Grid specs. YMMV
