Someone here may have the Lenovo restore disks -- I have used my Windows 7 disk to do a fresh install and then added any drivers I want from Lenovo website. In my experience, W7 automatically finds many/most drivers, and you can add whatever drivers you want/need after the fresh install.

@ blackmax100:
Please choose one of two options, at your earliest convenience:
1) Kindly explain - in detail, with appropriate links to e.g. Microsoft's website - how it can be considered legal to use a set of Windows 7 restore-media, issued and intended for e.g. ThinkPad T/R500's, to put Windows 7 on a T61p, the latter which was delivered from Lenovo with either XP or Vista? Do you honestly consider this to be legal... disregarding from COA, licenses etc.?
2) In the case of failure to explain the above: See this thread locked, immediately.

Johan-
Regarding your #1, the question shouldn’t be whether the OP or anyone else considers his idea legal, but whether Microsoft does. The answer to that question is clearly no.

The COA
is the license for the software, the discs are not relevant. You defiantly cannot copy those discs.
Discusions with MS , I cannot use say a De!! or Gatew@y, but Lenovo, yes.
The Lenovo discs cover multiple laptops, not just one specific model as you indicated. The discs I am asking for cover the R400, R500, T500 & T400 plus others, by your claim that is illegal.
You can do what I am suggesting, but, sadly I don't have time to search millions of pages for you.
Thanks for calling me a Thief.
