T42 Restore Disk Set

#1 Post by schen » Sun Dec 30, 2012 4:37 pm

After many years, I've finally replaced the screen and now about to "restore" my T42p. Can somebody remind me which one of the 7 disks I should boot off of? Apparently it's not #1! :oops:

There are 8 discs if i remember correctly. One is the boot disc and the rest is the data you're restoring.
Thinkpad Edge E530 | Intel i7-3610 | Intel HD 4000 | 8GB DDR3-1600 | Intel 330 180GB+64GB Kingston mSATA | 6 cell | Windows 8.1 Pro/Ubuntu 15.04 |
Thinkpad X61s | L7500 | Intel X3100 | 8GB DDR2-800 | Intel 330 180GB + 160GB Samsung | Gobi 3000 | 8 Cell | Windows 7 | Windows XP 64 bit |
