I just got my new T60 today and I wanted to make a clean recovery disc before I loaded any programs. I thought I could find some info on how to do this in ThinkVantage but could not find any. I'm new at this...........any help is appreciated.
By the way...........love this site!!!

I also just got the T60 today, and just finished the external back-up.

Press ThinkVantage button, hover cursor over Rescue & Recovery, click "Launch Rescue and Recovery", then select "back up your hard drive" under the "Back up your system" column on the left side of the dialog box, then click "Create a backup of your hard drive to CDs/DVDs", then follow directions.

I ended up with 2 DVDs, the first one being "Rescue & Recovery Start Up Disc", and the second one being "Final C".

Does the above sound right to you who have done the back-up to external DVDs?

TIA

I do to but today I made a recovery set on my T60 and I put in a cd first and it barfed so I put in a DVD and it went OK, Then it asked for the next disc so I put in another DVD and it finished.
