ThinkPad T43 clean installation !!!!!!!

#1 Post by twilight7683 » Sun Apr 16, 2006 5:15 am

Hello everybody :D

I own a T43 2669-W7T(CTO) and it is purchased with the XP Danish version included. Therefore most of the drivers and the operation system is built in danish by the predesktop area... :(

I can not understand how a great dealer like ibm(lenovo) can have a terrible online installation or download policy. There are tons of drivers and softwares to install and later to update, which is far far away from the intelligency expected from IBM... :(

This sucks... :x

The software installer is not enough for most of the updates. It somehow just downloads the most common drivers and if you download yourself and command the Software Installer to install them, there it cant even load the display drivers...Do not trust it, :evil:

because the drivers and updates are prepared so integrated to each other, if you try to install the drivers yourself, then you should really try to try hard and fill your brain with tons of mass...Anyway with the maually installation the risk of uncompatibility is so high there and i read a lot on the forum and could find no solution for the order of installation...

About the mass issue the downloads page is even worser than my dormitory room...

Here is my question i'll really pray hard for someone to help

I need a totally english system...

I can not purchase a recovery cd because still they give it with danish xp icluded.

Is there a way to change the danish i386 folder to an english i386 on the recovery partition or cds, so it will automaticly load an english xp? or something like that or anyone who can sell me their recovery cds...

Is there anybody can come up with the order we should follow to install the packages for manual installation?

Please help...i can not find any solution for months :shock:

thanks to you all...
