I just bought a new HD for my T60 .Can I use the system recovery discs for a fresh start for operating system (XP pro)?

Yes. The system recovery discs are made for either resetting your notebook to its factory settings and/or installing a new hard drive.

Will the recovery discs have all the drivers for the PC ?

Yes. You will want to do a restore to factory settings. It will create everything on your notebook just like when you first took it out of the box. Then run the update software to get the current drivers. But it will expand (or contract) the primary partition to fill your new hard drive.

How many and what kind of media needs R&R for a T6x ?

The T60 uses one CD for the rescue/boot CD and then either seven CD's or one DVD to make the recovery partition.
