WTB: T61 Vista Recovery Discs
Im doing another freebee and need to reload Vista on a donated T61, anyone care to sell/share a copy of the discs?
More Info: Intel Graphics, and I dont have the machine in front of me yet to get the Type#. Its in transit.
I believe only Vista Business was available, but dont hold me to that.
Thanks
Ron

Re: WTB: T61 Vista Recovery Discs
The easiest way to do this is with a vista setup disc, the recovery disc set is about ten discs and will fill your drive with redundant copies of outdated drivers and software and even most of the operating system will need to be replaced when you install service packs. If you want a vista setup disc with sp2 integrated send me a PM. All you'll need is a coa with a valid key, and I have those too if you need one. Also you can upgrade to 64bit version if you do it this way.
ps. I've seen T61 shipped with vista basic, business and ultimate, so there are at least three disc sets, but the disc I have will install any of them dependent on the key used.

When the laptop was donated, they took the COA and the HDD.
I checked the serial and it shows it had Vista on it, but with out the COA, I figured I was sunk...with out the recovery's, thats why I asked about the recovery's.

YGPM. 
EDIT:
My Outbox appears constipated and the PMs don't show as "Sent" yet.
Anyway, one PM has a key from an organ donor T61 I got off Ebay and once you have that I'll destroy the COA. (I don't inflict Vista on my own machines.)
I'll mail ya copies of my T61 recovery DVDs when you PM me your address.
