T41 Restore Disk

#1 Post by schen » Tue Jun 17, 2008 9:01 am

I have a T41 on the way and would like to do a "restore" on it. Does anyone know for sure whether the restore disks from a T40 will work on it? I have those on hand, but not the T41.

I don't see why not the hardware is identical.

T40 disks will work, but some drivers may be missing.

T41's had a slightly different Ethernet chipset, more WiFi options, and the APS - a shock protection sensor (which the T40 didn't have).

Plus the T41 restore disks probably have XP SP2.

You can easily download all the updates.

Thanks guys. I thought as much, but just wanted to double check before I jump into it.

I've spent a significant amount of time playing with and supporting the T2x/T30, but the T4x series is basically new ground for me.
