Operating System not found?
Re: Operating System not found?
Are you sure that your CD reader is working at all?
Do you have a different hard drive with an OS already installed on it to see if it boots?

You are going to hate Vista on a T40. That is a bad choice for that machine and it will be slow ...
Re: Operating System not found?
Oh, is there a way to get Ubuntu 10.04 original disk, because I think the ThinkPad is having problems with burnt disks.

Re: Operating System not found?
When you create a burnt disc are you setting the write speed to x2 or x4??? If you burn it at x16 or "Max Speed" it may create the disc but with errors!

YES! But, I don't know if they send you a pressed disk, or a burned disk, as I've never ordered one.cookie wrote:Oh, is there a way to get Ubuntu 10.04 original disk, because I think the ThinkPad is having problems with burnt disks.
