Friends

I've got a T60 and wanted to experiment with clean installation and finally done it without making the copies of rescue and recovery.

Now when I wanted to revert back to the factory setup I was not able to boot through the rnr partition and trying to do in somany ways ultimately lost the partition.

Whats next for me???????

Will I be able to authenticate myself with Lenovo and get a copy of rescue n recovery disks......

What will be thw way out for me........???????

Somebody please direct me in the right path>>>>>>

If you have lost the PreDesktop Area, then call IBM and purchase a set of recovery CD's. Try F11 when you start to see if that starts a recovery. ... JD Hurst

Ok let me do that

But I like the way the predesktop area works.....

Will the rescue disks have the ability to rebuild the predesktop area....

Thanks for that lightning response......

IBM (Lenovo) - supplied Recovery CD's will rebuild the PreDesktop Area. You usually have to delete all the partitions and reset the master boot record, but then the Recovery will replace it all.

Boy what are you???????

Shooting answers this fast...........

How much do ya think its gonna cost me ....

I have always managed to get my recovery sets for free (silver-toungued devil that I am), but times have changed, and I think the sets are 45 dollars (or thereabouts) each. Worth it, though. I would have no hesistation to buy a set if I needed to.
