Hi. I am sure this comes up from time to time but how/where can I get my hands on some WinXP Pro restore/recovery CDROMs for an R40e (UK spec) ?

I assume that the recovery partition is not on the hard disk (if it is you should be able to cut your own set)? If not, you can call IBM support and order them, I think they cost approximately $40. You will probably have to prove ownership of the unit to order them (I had to when I called for my set but called within 30 days of order and they sent them overnight(!) no charge). Good luck.

Hi Bill. Thanks for the reply. Indeed I do not have the hidden parition on this unit. This is also a second user R40e so I have no proof of ownership as such. plus I am in the UK so calling support might be a little difficult.

I am trying to source some more somewhere else but thought I would try this forum out first.

Not a problem. While the force is strong with you, my name isn't Bill, it's Steve.
