Do you want a copy in the mail, or do you want to download and burn your own?

Thank you so much for your ready and helpful response.
But, I have no idea how to make a disk out of what you posted.
I would by happy to pay to have a disk I can just insert and run.
Thanks for all your help.

Those numbers are to ensure, that what you will download is intact and without errors.

Greetings automobus,

I have been trying to recover my T23 to its factory state (XP Pro) for days with no luck. And now I can't even see my recovery partition anymore when viewing the drive partition contents (using a Knoppix CD). If possible, please PM the links to the Recovery CD set. With best wishes.

Hi,

has anybody got recovery disc(s) - XP Pro for a T23 model 2647-8pg
that they no longer need and would like to sell?

thanks

[automobus]

I sold my originals long ago. Would you like to download and make a copy?

[steed]

Hello Automobus

and thanks for your speedy reply. Yes of course, that would be perfectly acceptable, if you could send me a web link to the download.

kind regards

Hi,

I am also looking for a set for my 2647-4nu that I just purchased. I've got a dozen or so Thinkpads, I wish these were still available!

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

First post, but a loooong-time lurker.

According to Lenovo's legacy page for T23 Recovery CD FRUs, the latest P/N is 32P7276, which replaces 32P7166, 32P6722, and 14P9720.

I imagine that the only difference between the different CD sets are integrated service packs and newer drivers, so any set will do.

Please PM me with any info & price. Shipping to ZIP 46350.

TIA. And thanks for getting me into ThinkPads.
