Wanted: Thinkpad T42p Product Recovery Disks (XP)

Hi All,

Does have anyone have a copy of the Product Recovery Disks for a T42p with Microsoft XP O/S.

Unfortunately I have the Recovery and Restore Disk but not the Product Recovery Disk and am obviously stuck at 'Insert Disk 1'!

Thanks

Tim (England)

Hi All,

I decided to install XP without utilising IBMs Restore and Recovery software and then installed the drivers I needed from Lenovo website using the ThinkVantage System Update

Admittedly this means I would have to this again if I had a problem (and handn't cloned the disc) but the upside is that I have a clean install and environmemt.

Thinkpad T42p flying once more!
