Does anyone can give a helping hand on the above question??
I have 2 Notebooks, one is T42 2373-KB6 model and the other is T42p 2373-GRU model.
As the OS of the T42p is down and I have no recovey discs to recovery it. So I try to use the T42 recovery disk, it cannot install into it, although both are 2373 models.
Does anyone tell what is wrong and please give me some suggestions. Thanks a lot.
Problem of Recover the T42p by using T42 Recovery Discs
That's odd. The T42 recover set is the same for all models in that series. A second set was issued late in the product lifecycle to incorporate the fingerprint reader (it also had the XP SP2 update and some updated drivers). But it shouldn't be refusing to install. At best, it should install completely and at worst it should just have a couple of hardware items with yellow exclamation marks in Device Manager. Could just be a bad set of disks.

welcome to the forum.
you mention "T42 recovery disk". do you have the complete set from the t42? the first disk, Rescue & Recovery, is bootable and should prompt for the next disk in the set. what errors, if any, are you seeing?
