Start --> Programs --> Access IBM --> Create Recovery discs.
just click that and then follow popup messages..
simply swap burned and empty cds and click OK.. and wait..
ibm applications can be found in \ibmtools.

No reason to be afraid, one can download the software for pre-T42 models:

is it " create rescue media" ? i've installed ibm rescue and recovery ver 2.0 (2.00.0170). then that option appears in the access ibm root menu.
