Thinkpads Forum

So I finally diceded to restore my T60 to facotry settings.
I did that, but all that crap came with it. All the extra lenovo/tinkpad programs I don't want got installed.

I remember being able to boot into recovery, and restore my system where I got to choose wich programs to installa and wich not to.

So I do boot into recovery to tries to restore, but the only options I get is to choose what files on my C:/ drive that should be included with the restoration process.

Not the list of programs I am talking about.

Anyone know what my point here is, and where to find this?

Just press F11 at bootup, then select restore and follow the instructions until it asks whether you want a full restore or custom. Select custom ...
Booting through Rescue and Recovery CD's doesn't give the custom restore option. You can only do it through the service partition. Since you've already installed the service partition, you should be good to go.

I am using the recovery partition, but note that it's in my native language (danish), so you have to be a bit more specific than that.

When I click on restore system, I get three options, wether to restore my entire harddrive with all settings and personal data, or only windows and the programs or to restore it to default factory settings.

And no matter which one I choose I can't seem to be able to get that window up where I can choose from the programs lenovo decided to put in there.

In the first two I have to choose the backup image I made some hours ago, but in the last one (restore harddrive to factory settings), I get to choose wich files to save and wich ones not to.
But this isn't the exact "pre-installed programs" list I am looking for.

So again.. Could you be a bit more specific?
