This is my first official post at this forum; hopefully someone can assist me with the dilemma that my Thinkpad is going through.
Okay, well here is the situation in short. About a week ago, I reformatted my T41 2373-XSX back to factory specs without a hitch. But as of a few days ago, when I decided to reformat it again due to some other unrelated issues I wasn't able to get into the predesktop area.
Frustrated, I surmised that the solution for this would be for me to perform a reinstall/install of rescue & recovery v.3, which actually kind of worked as I was then able to enter the predesktop area. But when I selected restore to factory while in the predesktop area, the process did not start after the required reboot; it simply continued to load windows. I did this multiple times, and each time it proceeded to load windows, and not the factory restore screen. I also tried to do this again with rescue & recovery v.4, but it was still the same result.
I think my hidden partition might have an issue thats preventing the system from continuing with the recovery process. I feel that I'm pretty close to purchasing the recovery CD's as a last resort. Any advice or solution to this issue would be greatly appreciated. Thank you everyone in advance.
