After I tried running CheckDisk today, my month old t41 won't start Windows.
If I boot it normally, it says:
"a disk check has been scheduled ..."
but I then get
"Windows did not successfully restart"
and it takes me to the SafeMode selection screen
If I select Normal, I get back to the blue checkdisk screen, and so on in circles.
If I select SafeMode, it freezes at loading the agp440.sys file
(I did update the ATI Radeon 7500 driver via Windows update 3 days ago, to one dated Mar 05. Could this be the cause? Anyone else had problems with it? See MS kb324764 )
I tried rescue & recovery, but it didn't help.
IBM support is closed till Monday. What can I do? Grateful for any advice.

IBM support is closed until Monday? I'm pretty sure they have 24 hour a day, 7 days/week support.
Where in the world are you located? Edit: Hmm you are in the UK. I have no idea if UK support is 24/7 like it is in the US.
