My "new" t22 is arriving! Please answer this simpl

[davidwayne34]

My new t22 will arrive with its hd wiped clean. Will I have to
install that special service partition, or can i just fdisk, prepare
and format the hd for win98 installation like a desktop
machine? I ask this because my old compaq required a special
small partion for its setup program and bios and now I am curious
if my new t22 will require that service partion, since i do not
have the original system recovery cds that came with it.

any help would be appreciated.

You're ok.. Just install your OS. The laptop doesn't require a special partion. You might have to install some drivers from the IBM web site at most. I've done this a hundred times.....

Good luck,
Ron
