I've been waiting for weeks to finally get my US Windows XP recovery CDs to get rid of the German Windows version on my T42 (and to complete the Linux setup because it would be wiped anyway).

Now apparently they sent me disks 1-5 and 7, and additionally a German disk "1 of 6". Great. Can somebody get me a download of disk 6 so I don't have to wait again? :/

Machine type is 2373, part no. of the disk package is 24R7684.
That German disk 1 is no. 24R7834, and for some strange reason it is listed in the pick list too (because of this, the issue was escalated at IBM), so I cannot say which part no. the correct disk 6 is.

Enjay,
I'm in Berlin, Germany with a T42 purchased loaded by IBM in Nov 2004. I made the 6 recovery CDs (and I used them once). Would my #6 serve your need?
