Thinkpads Forum

Hi everyone,

While reinstalling XP from a cd (not from the imageultra builder unfortunately), at the stage of choosing which partition to install XP, yeah that blue screen you will remember, I deleted the hidden service partition. Silly what I did, isn't it? However, I had somehow copied everything in the hidden service partition to my usb hard drive in the previous days. So what I am trying to learn is, how to, if possible, copy all of those hidden partition content to a new partition and be able to run imageultra builder at the startup of the notebook with the blue thinkvantage button.

Hope, I am clear about my problem.

Any help is sincerely appreciated.

If you have the factory restore disks that either shipped with your system or you made (the 1-time only option to make factory restore media), you can simply use those to restore the factory partition.

thanx buddy, but unfortunately i do not have those recovery cds. I'm looking for another solution. any other solution please? it's a challenging issue, isn't it??
