System Recovery on X300

#1 Post by MarT40 » Wed Jun 04, 2008 1:47 pm

Since the SSD is too small to contain a Recovery Partition what kind of tools did Lenovo provide to reinstall the OS?

recovery DVDs are included.

some X300s have shipped with a service partition though.   mine did not.

I think someone said that preloaded Vista comes with DVD's and preloaded XP comes with service partition.

Actually, X300 Vista systems come with both, Vista and XP discs.
The vista discs just reinstall the OS without creating a recovery partition. The XP discs create a recovery partition as well as reinstall the OS. You may still delete it afterwards.
