I have the thinkpad X41t recovery ISOs for Windows XP Tablet Edition. I put the boot disk on a flash drive, and it boots the utility and works fine, but when I click ok to let it delete all the files and wipe the hard drive I get the error "Failed in convertion phase.
As far as I know, "convertion" isn't even a real word, so I'm pretty confused what this means.
Any suggestions?
I'm posting this publicly in case anyone else is having trouble with restoring a thinkpad.

Re: X41 Tablet Restoration Trouble (Failed in convertion phase)
First, USE AN EXTERNAL CD DRIVE. I cant stress this enough. Old laptop(pre 2010) have trouble with using USB media outside of a booted operating system. Second, the conversion to a NTFS file system didnt work, drive could be dead. It is possible. Try on CD and see if it works.

The efficiency of two screens equally sized with equal numbers if pixels are equal. The time spent by a 4:3 user complaining about 16:9 is proportional to the inefficiency working with a 16:9 display, therefore the amount of useful work extracted is equal.
