Has anyone used a Dell XP Pro reinstallation disc instead? It is almost identical to a normal XP disc. I suppose I could extract the i386 folder from the Dell disc and use this guide to make a disc but if I can avoid doing this that would be great.

It's my sole OS on my T23, not bad for an 8 year old computer. Installation is easier than XP due to more drivers being detected. I'm not a power user but everyday operation is near as quick as XP.

This week I got a NOS X41 and ran into the same issue as the OP. The problem was XP's date was ahead one day and when I set the date back I got the error message. Once the date Symantec lists as first date used is on or before XP's date the problem goes away.

Closer inspection shows that the stick that does not beep has one gold pin where a portion is scraped off. The other stick gives 4 beeps, no extra pause in between the beeps. This stick has a cracked chip. I do have a x22 but at this point I don't think it would be wise to test it. Would this ram be...

Installed two MT16LSDF6464HG-133C2 CL3 chips in my T23. When either is installed they beep 4 times and one of them sometimes does not beep at all. In all cases the screen is blank and the machine does not boot. Needless to say when both sticks are installed it does not work either. I don't think its...

What about this http://frys.com/product/5503990 In specific Frys ram is PC2-5300 CL5 and and on crucial.com the ram they recommend is PC2-4200 CL4 EDIT: works on the X41 as well as the 2.16ghz macbook, another laptop crucial lists working with sticks up to 1gb. On the macbook, the OS sees 3gb out of...

X31 has the ugliest palmrest of any Thinkpad. Its bulbous and has a cheap brittle feel to it.

System update took care of all those pesky exclamation marks

Would it be wise to use a set of XP SP2 X40 recovery discs on a X41? I did this and it seems to work but will I run into problems down the road? Also, XP did not asks for a key...is this normal? I am using a hard drive from a X40 that had a previous install of XP and I plan to sell the X41 so I don'...

Does the old powersleeve 12 fit the X22? I have the new style powersleeve and it is barely too small.

For a hundred more I'll sell you my S30 personally delivered to your doorsteep.

Do some X22 have the antenna built in and if so how do I check if my X22 has one?

I'm trying to install XP on a new X31 with a blank HD. Am I suppose to use the recommended settings with the HP boot utility.

I also received a X3 ultrabase. Can I put a CD drive from a T42 in it?

How would you rate it's heat and speed? Is it faster then the 7k60? Do the 80GB and 160Gb versions have equal performance?

For anyone else who doesnt have a CD-ROM and can't boot off USB. I used these instructions to install XP on my S30.

Just received a S30 and its a great little machine. It has the maximim 256 ram and internal WiFi so I'm currently only looking to upgrade the 30gb 4.2k HD. What limitations does this machine have as far as HDs are concerned? I'm runing XPP on it so is their suggestions on how to set up XPP to make i...

How much longer will they sell T42/43?

Same thing happened to my T23 and Booq case. Two scratches that run near the entire length. I got a new T42 that I still store in its plastic bag until
I get one of those cloth sleeves to use with the Booq.

Another option would be to put the TP in with the seams facing the bottom of the TP.

Picked this up last weekend for my new T42. I had $10 off any order coupon so it was only $37 plus tax & pickup. They then sent me a $10 off $50 coupon for filling out a simple survey that I can use for my next order.

Does this look like male or female. Trying to figure out if it will work on a T42.

Planning to swap out the original HD on my T42 to something bigger. If the T42 still has 2 years warranty left does the HD's 2 years warranty transfer to whoever buys the HD? If my T42 has to be sent to IBM for warranty will there be a problem because I don't have the original HD.

TIA

Will Vista have better support for high resolution displays as far as being able to scale up display items? With XP I am limited to using 14" XGA because at higher resolutions everything is too small and the methods to scale up text and such is unsatisfactory.

Apple: pretentious latte drinkers

IBM: elitist

I also have a T23 and the main difference between it and a T4X is the screen.
Comparing between the two with both XGA screens the T42 is WAY brighter and has more accurate colors. Performance wise yes the t42 was faster but not worth double the cost.

I sold my old HD off my T23 on ebay and the buyer says its DOA. It was working the day I sent it off and I packed it up well. The only thing I can figure is that I was using it in an external enclosure and had it assigned as drive letter k: Would the drive formatted as k: cause it not to boot up? If...
