WTB/LF: A22m W98 Recovery Media
Posted: Mon Jan 19, 2015 9:03 am
The first ThinkPad I bought for myself (albeit not the first I had ever owned) was an A22m back in 2004. When that unit started acting weirdly I shelved it and bought a newer unit, but about a year ago I decided to try resuscitating it with a working parts machine I acquired only to find that it worked fine. So I have two of them now; my original one I set up to use as I used it before I retired it, however I've yet to determine what to do with the second - so it sits without a HDD or OS at the moment, awaiting new life.
After recently having success getting a set of recovery disks from Lenovo for my new-to-me T420, I had the idea that I could restore this unit to its factory state and use it as a "demo" machine to "reminisce" about how the ThinkPad of the early 2000s was originally shipped from the factory.
That brings me to this question - does anyone have a recovery disk set for the A22m (Windows 98)? It's a 2628-TSU they can either burn/send or host .isos of? Or even a hard disk image, made with Ghost or Acronis...
