Can you make your own, or do you have to order from Lenovo??

You can make one set of recovery discs on newer thinkpads. On older ones you need to buy them or get them from someone.
Which model of thinkpad are you referring to?
T60 2623-D7U, 3 GB Ram.
Dual boot XP and Linux Mint.

You can get a free set of R & R disks from Lenovo within 30 days of your purchase.

You can create your own set of recovery disks by selecting Start- Access IBM - create recovery disks.

True, just make your own.

In general, it isn't free; some, however, have gotten them free because they managed to convince Lenovo that something happened to the system before they even had the chance to burn their own RnR disk set.

I met someone who looks a lot like you.
She does the things you do.
But she is an IBM.
