What CDs ship with a T30?

#1 Post by motero99 » Fri Jan 05, 2007 8:25 pm

I purchased a T30 with Win 2k from my employer. They sent me 3 recovery cds. I believe those only do recovery. Can you do a selective product install from the recpvery CD? My T20 shipped with one or two recovery CDs and a product CD. Did the T30 ship with a product CD? If so, how can I get one? I wiped out the hard drive and installed XP. Now I am looking to install the CD record program,. I think it is called Record Now. I read in another post here that someone replaced a hard drive, installed XP, and then was looking for the optional software. I believe he found a folder on the system and was able to copy the software off and install on the new hard drive. I may try that, but if a CD is not too expensive, it might be worth the cost and easier.

I guess I don't need the CD. I did a system restore on a spard hard drive and then found a folder under C:/IBMTools and the subfolder apps. All of the extra software is there. I just copied the folders for the products I wanted to a thumb drive and installed them on the WinXP hard drive.
