Does anyone have X220 recovery disks (64-bit Win 7, I think Pro)?

#1 Post by awebber » Tue Oct 13, 2015 2:46 pm

My X220's SSD is failing and I can't find the recovery media anywhere. :( I'm sure I made some, just can't find.

My X220 is a Type 4286-CTO, the one with the USB3.0 port. There's a sticker saying "Windows 7" so I know it came with that, and 64-bit, and I'm pretty sure it's the Pro version.

Does anyone have disks or images they can share? Of course I'll reimburse your costs. And I probably have T41p recovery media if anyone needs it.

Thanks!

there are recovery disks for T420(s) on the pirate bay.
I think those should work fine on X220 as well

Big ones: W701 top config T63p QX9300|8G|UXGA T61p dead, please go die as well nVIDIA
Small ones: X61sp P8800X61t SXGA X201 NIB

I can confirm that the T420 recovery discs on bittorrent work on every thinkpad x60/t60 with middleton bios on up. Once in awhile you find a model where you need to add a network driver manually but once you do that lenovo system update handles the rest of the drivers

Thank you. I found the original slow HDD in a box and I'm trying to limp along with that until a replacement SSD arrives.

Having trouble with Windows update, 174 important (or whatever) updates but only about 40 installed. It had trouble downloading again so I'll give it a break.

Several apps updated no problem but lenovo system update says there's nothing for my machine, though it was last run in 2012! The joys of system maintenance. :(

uninstall and reinstall system update.
I actually do have a set of x220 win 7 pro 64 bit that I made from my x220
if you end up needing these let me know I could put them up on my google drive for you
