Hi,

I'm new here but was hoping to get the original installation disc for my T30 laptop if anyone knows where I can get them. Can someone help me? I got this machine used a while back and now it just needs a fresh re-install to breathe new life back into it. I need to use it with some old SCSI back up drives. Thanks!

Kevin

What is the Zip Code for your city (postal code)
Something like 62-262 Wierzyce

I have the discs, and will only ship US Postal.
6 discs total
1, 2, and 3 are Original Restore Disc copies
4 is XP Service packs 2 and 3
5 is Misc software including Dot Net and XP Service pack 1, all needed to get on line
6 is the 1802 WiFi Linux disc
These 6 disc will save you days of downloading.

PM me the Postal Code for a quote on shipping and a final cost.
Paypal is fine (required)

Etwas Geduld!
jronald (who has those CDs) has not yet been on the Forum since last December.

I am looking for recovery CDs for type 2366-91U. I have a set of 3 Product Recovery CDs but I am getting an error during the "convertion phase". Not sure if this is because the R&R boot CD was the incorrect one but I tested the factory reset process using the other R&R boot CDs I have on hand and nothing work. Thanks.

I want to report that I'm all good thanks to jronald. It was his PDF instructions that made the difference. Turns out that my set of 3 recovery disks were good. I simply need to discard the IBM Rescue and Recovery CD and boot directly from the first recovery disk. Being able to perform the factory recovery without the IBM R&R boot disk is new to me.

... sorry for the delay in closing this: work got busy right after I verified his instructions.

All, I still get a few requests a year for these and they are still available. Easy transaction, make a donation and I send you a link. Roughly a week later I kill the link.

Its for a good cause!

Hello jronald,
Will you be able to help me with a copy/iso for the TP T30?
Also looking (years by now

) for the S30 (2639) recovery cd's and the TP240.
maybe they vanished with the dinosaurs...

Thanks,
Eyal

The T30 was a P4 based system. The Recovery set I have will not work for either of te systems you are looking for, sorry.

Sorry to wake up a very old thread, but are those CDs still availible? I have an R40 2681-CU2 that I would like to restore.

jronald · #197 Post by **jronald** » Tue Aug 21, 2018 6:13 pm

I dont know if they will work on an R40. Your welcome to try though. Make a small donation to the Board by the link above right hand corner, and send me a PM. Ill reply with a Google download link.

I wish I still had them for the wallpapers and stuff like that, but if you only need drivers Lenovo still hosts them in the legacy section.

This is not my Ebay UK auction but if anyone is interested, I just spotted for sale a set of discs:

eBay item number: 164138269674

Why buy, if you can get them for free in our Marketplace Repository?

killerkiko · #204 Post by **killerkiko** » Thu Jun 24, 2021 6:00 pm

Does a t30 recovery set with win98 exist? Im trying to build a nice 3 machine set. 760xl for w95, t30 for win98, and x31 for xp.

theterminator93 · #205 Post by **theterminator93** » Thu Jun 24, 2021 8:52 pm

I'm not sure that one does. Windows 98 mainstream supported ended with June of 2002. The T30 was introduced in May of 2002, and it's unlikely that IBM would have supported the model for an OS that was going EOL within a couple months of the system's release.

FWIW, the newest system I have a Windows 98 (SE) recovery set for is the T21. I know the A22m was offered with 98 as late as May of 2001, as this is when/how one of my A22ms shipped, but I don't have that recovery set.

killerkiko · #206 Post by **killerkiko** » Thu Jun 24, 2021 9:43 pm

Thanks for the info!. I have installed 98se on my t30, and so far everything seems ok. Much better than trying to run 98se on the x31, that thing would act so weird.

Hi I picked up a T30 laptop of eBay and would like to purchase a recovery CD for Windows XP sp3 if possible.
Anyone has recommendations where I can get one.

theterminator93 · #208 Post by **theterminator93** » Wed May 25, 2022 6:24 pm

There is no such thing as an XP SP3 restore set. The only flavors out there go up as far as SP2.

XP was discontinued to OEMs on 6/30/08 and SP3 was published only 2 months before that. This was nearly 2 years after Vista was released and less than a year before 7 was made available.

Ok I see
The sticker underneath the laptop is for XP professional 1
So that’s SP1? If so would you know where I could get that or can I upgrade it to SP2?

You can get SP1, SP2 and SP3 separately.
So install whatever (32-bit) XP version you get and then update that with the missing SPs.
The sticker-level (no SP, SP1 or SP2) is irrelevant.
