WANTED: W700 / W700ds Windows Vista Business Recovery Media
Posted: Tue Jun 05, 2012 6:07 am
Hello!
I own a W700ds with Windows Vista Business installed and with recovery partition intact (COA on the underside of the device). I have created recovery media using the ThinkVantage tools but it would appear that this media is not suitable for installation with RAID array enabled in the BIOS (missing drivers?) - The main reason I had created the recovery media to reinstall Windows Vista on RAID! I have located a number of threads where people report similar issues and the solution given by Lenovo is to use the recovery media that they supply. As the ThinkPad is outside of warranty I thought it might be worth trying here first.
Full background in my thread, here.
Anybody able to help? Thanks!
