WTB: Restore/Recovery(edit) disks R32(edit), T30

#1 Post by kulcousy » Fri Jun 01, 2007 12:39 pm

I need the Windows XP restore disks for R31 and T30 Thinkpads. I obtained these on Ebay not realizing that a full install disk would not work. With all the trading going on how is this situation overcome? I hadn't heard it was an issue.
Thanks if you can help.
John

edit-that should be R32 and T30 XP
edit-Recovery disks is the proper term I believe

What do you mean that the full install disks wouldn't work?

.... Won't install using the product key on the bottom of the laptop. This is correct, isn't it?

Correct, a TRUE WinXP retail install disk will not work with the key on the bottom of you laptop. I wasn't sure if you were confusing the Restore and the Recovery Disks.
