Can I use this same procedure for my T60 model number 200772U XP PRO .I`m intsalling a new HD and want to start fresh .

Will the recovery discs have all the drivers for the PC ?

I just bought a new HD for my T60 .Can I use the system recovery discs for a fresh start for operating system (XP pro)?

I`m totally confused with the HD for my T60.Is Serial ATA the same as SATA or SATA II ?My specs say I have a Serial ATA .

What hard drive will work in my T60 ?

What if you installed programs before making the CDs ?I installed a whole bunch of stuff before making the CDs .Now I want to start from fresh .

Talked to IBM today .There is a new battery on the way .

I bought my T60 last year in September 27.My battery barely lasts 43 minutes now .Is the any warranty on this part ?

Looking for a T60 HD caddy .I`m located in Toronto .

That makes more sence .Thanks for the information .

Why put hibernate in then ? If it just shuts it off .

Which is better to conserve battery ?How long can a t60 last on each mode ?

I have to leave my laptop in the car for several hours at a time .The temprature drops to -25 celcius sometimes . Will the cold weather damage the LCD ?I am not planning on using it in that temprature .How long do I wait before using it after it has been in that cold temprature .

I`m trying to transfer files from one computer to another(my T60 to home unit) .I bought a USB bridge to transfer the files .Both computers are XP .The hardware installs ok .But I can`t figure out how to get the files transfered.
