Required Urgency IBM Thinkpad T41 Recovery Disks

[thunder1234]

Hope Some one can Help - My Trusty T41's Hardrive just died today - Permanently , not even recognised by the Bios anymore.

I have replaced the hardrive but now need to install the Win XP Prof as per the orginal install.

Guess what- my recovery disks are corrupt. Phoned IBM and they advised that I will need to pay approximately $100.00 and wait 14 workings days due to the XMAS break

The issue is I cannot wait - Is there there anyone out there in OZ who can assist with a copy of the orginal recovery disks. ( willing to pay )

Of course the other option is to purchase a new copy Windows XP XP , however I do not really want to make the investment of $200 Plus.

Thanks in advance
