T43 factory restore disks

#1 Post by proaudioguy » Wed Dec 16, 2009 11:40 pm

Which version of R&R comes on the factory recovery discs for a T43? The disc I have is defective so I tried the disc from the X60T (XP) and it seemed like it worked right up until it was time to boot from the HD. Boots, up runs through the various selections and license acceptance then errors out that it's missing a utility. Presumably this utility was either not use in the X60, or was not use on the T43. Either way R&R wants it and it's not there. It had no issue with accepting the 6 recovery discs and the supplemental disc. I had a similar issue when I first got a set of copied R&R discs for the X32. R&R was missing and the newer version wouldn't work. I suppose I'll try the (official) X32 R&R and see if that works, but that's another 2 hours of work.

That's pretty weird, because the set I sent you was the one used to image the machine in the first place...

I'll mail you another RR disk and hopefully it will work...

No worries, the X32 R&R disc worked flawlessly! The rest of the discs worked fine.
