WTB: Recovery Discs for T61 with Vista OS

#1 Post by davidaker » Mon Oct 13, 2008 6:20 pm

Anyone have these discs for sale? I bought my T61 used and do not have the option to create the discs from R&R.
Thanks

You can probably purchase them from IBM if no one here has a set. I purchased mine from IBM (sorry, they are not for sale). ... JDH

2 questions: Is restore partition intact? If so, you can recover from that, then create recover CDs.

Which vista came on the machine? At least business and home premium were shipped on T61. I believe Ultimate only came on T61p.

Thanks for the replys. It's Vista Ultimate for a 7662. I'll try that site mentioned unless something else comes up first.
