How to clean install thinkpad edge+create service partition

#1 Post by dierasyah » Thu Feb 16, 2012 9:36 pm

sorry guys. can i ask for solving this problem..
i have thinkpad edge, but the hdd is corrupt and unreadable so I bought a new one.
the problem is how can i clean install windows 7 and create SYSTEM_DRV drive, Lenovo_Recovery drive on my own without recovery DVDs..
and what tools do i need to deploy it?

Thanks

Three different possibilities:
1. Call Lenovo Support and pay them a small fee for a set of recovery discs
2. Find a buddy with the same series ThinkPad Edge and get a copy of the recovery discs from him/her
3. Get an OEM Windows install disc and use the key from the bottom of your PC.
