A while back I received the Product Recovery CDs. When I got them, I gave them the once over and filed them away. Anyway, I'm reformatting my T42 to give to the wife for school and I realized that I'm missing Disc 7. Apparently, I received 2 copies of the Rescue and Recovery CD and 1 copy Discs 1-6, but not Disc 7. Does anyone know where I can obtain Disk 7? Here are the various part numbers that I did receive:

2x Rescue and Recovery CD (P/N 19R9174)
1x Product Recovery CD 1 (P/N 24R7709)
1x Product Recovery CD 2 (P/N 24R7734)
1x Product Recovery CD 3 (P/N 24R7759)
1x Product Recovery CD 4 (P/N 24R7784)
1x Product Recovery CD 5 (P/N 24R7809)
1x Product Recovery CD 6 (P/N 24R7834)

I believe the P/N I need is 24R7859, but I'm not 100%. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance

I don't know if you can order only one of those discs from IBM but you might want to post it in the marketplace section. Since there are many T42 owners in the forum, I'm sure someone will be able to help you out!

Good luck

Are you sure there IS a disk 7? I created my own recovery CD's for my T42 and have the startup disk and installation disks 1-6.

I was hoping someone would answer because all my original recovery disks are downstairs in a fireproof cabinet. I had to go for something else, so I pulled out the T42 set to get the PN. The later T42 recovery CD set does have 7 disks plus R&R. The part number on the last one is 24R7859, but I think they won't sell/send you just one disk.

Yea, on disc 1-6, it states x of 7.

The recovery set you make yourself will be a 7 cd set and it covers your model, the ones Lenovo sends you will be an 8 cd set and will cover many models.
