What operating system do you want?

Posted: **Mon Apr 04, 2005 12:17 pm**

I have the latest Win2K set that I send copies of to you for a couple bucks + shipping.

I've got Win 2000 on it right now, but I'm going to be loading XP on it some time this week. That brings up a question, however; if I've got the XP full setup disk, do I even need recovery disk? Want the Win XP disk do the same thing? Thanks

Yes and no if you have the recovery disk it will also load all the drivers and extras that come with the T23

If you just use WinXp then it will not install all the factory stuff

So I need to use the XP disk AND the recovery disk then, right? If so, then I'll still be needing the recovery disk for the XP op. system. Either of you got those? Thanks.

No if you have the Win Xp recovery Disk for the IBM T23 then thats all you need

Slammed, do you have a copy of the XP recovery disk for the T23 that I could buy from you?

Posted: **Mon Apr 04, 2005 8:46 pm**

Yes I do but I can't find them moment all I have been able to find are my Win 2000 just give me a day or two I will find them

if you send him the XP recovery CD would he not require a XP COA?
if his system was originally shipped with WIN2K and he does not have a copy of winXP, the win2K COA on the bottom of the computer will not work.

Just to make sure that he is aware of this.

I have the Win XP disk w/COA.

I have never had to enter that during any install process and I did it 4 to five times (bad hard drives)
