T42p recovery disks on T41p?!?

#1 Post by marvel » Wed Aug 01, 2007 10:49 am

Hello!

Just asking (a tad too late :P ) if recovery disks from a T42p would be useable on a t41p? The thinkpads are almost identical: 1,7ghz PM, 60 GB 7200 rpm, fire gl t2 of course, on both machines. Being eager beaver I installed the system on my "new" t41p and I´m currently writing this post on it.

All drivers (except modem) installed correctly (ie without errors).

T41p: 2373-GHG
T42p: 2373-HSG

Going the other way also works. I have used a T41 restore disks on a T42P and aside from the video and modem, the T42P works great.
