Looking for one of these. Will I also need a serial number?
Thanks

I have the disks for the T23, do you know if they will work?

I dont think so, when looking on the ibm site some of the updates for the 20 are not for the 23. Thanks any way.

There won't be any XP restore CDs for the T20,21. I know XP came with the T23 and maybe some T22s.

XP restore disks are available. I just bought a set recently and was able to install on my T20.

Just for the record, if you don't have an XP COA on the bottom of your machine, you cannot legally use a set of recovery CDs to install it.

There is a guy on Craigs list who has restore disks for several IBM models -he wants 28.00 for one for the T20 that included XP Pro (which was on my machine when I got it). So it appears they are out there.
Thanks John
