Thinkpads Forum

My T400 is ,2.8GHz , 4G Ram, 160 HHD, LED , 9 cell. It's amazing
After I did the Factory Backup using 1 CD and 2 DVDs , I discarded them cause one of the DVDs had been scratched . I tried to do another Backup but I couldn't then I knew that I can only do Factory Backup for one time I realized that the drive (Q) became useless so I deleted it.
Now I'm going to upgrade to Win7 but I want to have a Backup of current system.
My questions:
1- What's the advantage of C/SWTOOLS.
2- What's the advantage of (S) drive after I lost the (Q) drive.
3- How can i keep a backup of the DRIVES.

Thanks for help

Since Lenovo has special features like C/SWTOOLS, it's very important to mention it's use.
could anybody help?!

It seems to be very easy question Or it's very difficult. Could anybody help please?

this directory has apart from other trash a directory called drivers .you may upgrade with thinkvantage and then backup this directory so that you may use and xp/vista media to install the os.The ones which come sleeping like lazy maharaja on our very own HDs are just space guzzlers .---They are obsolete by the time you receive the box from the vendor....You have to the update +++..
best is preapare a slipstrim of your setup and be happy till you get more money to buy the next generation cutes.

Thanks alot
