I have a set of original IBM recovery disks for T42/T42p/R51, type 1829, 1830, 1831, 1836, 1840, 1841, 2373, 2374, 2378, 2379.

see http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=26305 for history.

This is a set that was delivered with a rescue cd and disks 1-6 of 7 recovery cd's. I have burned a copy of disk 7 of 7 from the complete set I finally received on the fourth attempt.

Also note in the original history above, that I cut my own set from my T42 (2378 R4U) and only got 6 disks plus the rescue disk.

Anyway, if anyone wants this set with the burned copy of disk 7, it is yours for $15 shipped CONUS.

Hey Carl,
I received the CDs today! THANKS! You do need the 7th cd...good thing it came in before you sent my set out. But the 7 cd set does work...I just built it about 30 mins ago.

These disk should be the English version. They have Spanish capability, but they are not going to be the Spanish disks. I believe that the core OS will still be in English.

There was a lot of discussion on the language topic in some of the other threads.

i boutgh my labtop on ebay and it´s the english version, but i have a cuestion when you said that they have spanish capabilities, ithink you are talking about the ibm software, but the os will be in english ore its translated to spanish. When i said the os i said most comon thinks like start button, menus,....like when you install a MUI that change a language.

Sold the set. Thanks.

If anyone should need, I can burn a copy of my complete set as received from IBM support. It took me several weeks and many phone calls, of them overnighting the wrong/incomplete set before I finally got a complete set.

For some reason, cutting my own set gave me 6 + 1 instead of 7 + 1, and the 6 + 1 will not restore. Several other folks have found this out, too. Just sold my last set to one of them. IBM was sending me 6 +1, even though the numbering was 1 of 7, etc. Finally got it right on the 4th try.
