New X61 with XP

#1 Post by elseif » Fri Apr 04, 2008 6:44 am

Hi All,

Am looking to upgrade my now aging T42 to something more portable and the X61 is looking very good. As a touchpad user, I've already disabled the touchpad in the T42 to "retrain" myself to use the trackpoint :)

However, it seems the X61 only comes with <spit>vista</spit>, which I really don't want to move, so the question is:

a) does Lenovo have an XP recovery disk I can buy for the X61; or
b) are there xp drivers/utilities/extras/etc for the X61 that I can download & install on top of a vanilla xp install after having wiped <spit>vista</spit>.

Cheers!

Downgrading from Windows Vista to Windows XP .
"I've come a long, long way," she said, "and I will go as far,
With the man who takes me from my horse, and leads me to a bar."
The man who took her off her steed, and stood her to a beer,
Were a bleary-eyed Surveyor and a DRUNKEN ENGINEER.
