WTB: Disc 1 of the T42/p Recovery disc set.

#1 Post by KristianJ » Mon Apr 06, 2009 10:14 pm

In the process of some repair work on the family's T42p, Disc 1 of my recovery disc set was broken. I'm not sure whether or not Lenovo will send out single discs from a set (I will ring them when I eventually get the chance), but I'm wondering whether anyone has a spare Disc 1 they could send me if by chance they have an incomplete set.

I'll pay a reasonable price plus shipping to Sydney, Australia via PayPal non-CC. Must be an authentic disc to complement the other 6 plus the R&R disc.

Thanks in advance for your help :)

you'll need the FRU P/N for it to be certain it is the correct one if you find someone who has one..

that said i'm SURE i have "A" T42 recovery CD set someplace here..
if the FRU's match i can zip it up and email it to you..

And if all else fails, I'm also glad to FTP a copy (at no cost).

Thanks all for your replies. FRU of the disc is 24R7684. I am aware that I can simply download a copy, but my parents are a bit concerned about the family's download usage with our Internet plan and I have sort of exhausted all avenues when it comes to persuading them to change their plan. I'll dig around and see if I can locate a burned copy, because I think I may have asked for one a year or 2 back and received, but I'm still hopeful that I can get a genuine one without resorting to Lenovo. :)
