If I were you, I would install a vanilla copy of windows XP and dump and install everything inside the IBMTOOLS folder that came from my T43. I have the i386 folder as well, but it is useless to you because the windows xp installation is Chinese

Re: IBM ThinkPad T43 Restore Disks?? Help
I think you can try asking other forum members here first to see whether they wanna share you an iso file of the restore CD. If not, get a copy of Windows XP yourself, burn that onto a CD, install that and then I will provide you the IBMTOOLS folder that came with my ThinkPad T43, which contains ALL the drivers and utilities with the exact version that would be shipped with a brand new T43 with Windows XP in 2005. As far as I see those drivers and utilities do support English as well.
