Re: T30 Recovery CD Set Needed
Hi,
Recently I got T30 2366-QU5 from my friend. It doesn't have Operating System, but has XP professional COA sticker on bottom side. I want to load IBM's OS & drivers on it. I searched many places to download the OS Restore CDs, no luck so far. Could you please help me to have restore CDs to load XP & drivers.
Presently it has 2X512MB memory, Can I upgrade it to 2X1GB?
Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks in Adavance.

Do I need to repeat myself?
And yes, your T30 can handle 2x1GB.

Re: T30 Recovery CD Set Needed
I too need the recovery disks for the T30 - I did a clean install of XP Professional after I was unable to recover from the recovery partition due to hang ups on install and thus the restore software in the recovery partition was replaced by the XP software I installed - thanks for any assistance

Re: T30 Recovery CD Set Needed
They are the recovery disks from IBM, which include Windows XP Pro (without any Service Packs) as well as all the T30 drivers and specific T30 software. I add another disk with additional software.
For a factory Recovery you do not need Windows activation, for any other Windows version you do.
That's why these disks are preferred over any others.
