Did the IBM M-Pro Towers come with any rescue and recovery system, or software? If so, where could I find these disks. This Tower (unlike my T23) still has the XP COA on it. So I need to find an XP rescue and recovery if it exists.


Thanks all!

Anybody know where I could find these disks if any such disks exist?

TO the best of my knowledge.... No. You'll have to call IBM for recovery media or load your own copy of OS.

What is the machine type (example: 2656-m2u) of the M-Pro tower?

Does the HMM list a set of recovery CDs?

I looked up a type 6218-4GU at http://www-304.ibm.com/jct01004c/system ... nd=5000008 and there are multiple sets of recovery CDs:

If the system is still under warranty call and make up a sad tale of virus problems, partition layout errors, etc, etc and they might send out a set of CDs free of charge.
