R60 Accompanying CD: What's exactly on. pls? Drivers?

#1 Post by cuneiform » Fri Feb 01, 2008 9:55 am

I've got an R60 on the US eBay. No accompanying CD was found in the box. Merely, nothing else. I would like 1/ to know what is exactly on the accompanying CD, and 2/ to put the XP pro system on the notebook anew. I've used XP pro on my desktop.

Where one should be able to download the whole bundle of drivers incl. such for the BlueTooth, WLAN, Processor Bridge Chip drivers, and Power Supply (battery care) drivers to use the battery intelligently? - THX

Lenovo doesn't include media disks with PC's anymore since there is a program integrated on your Windows now called ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery that lets you create your own set of Recovery disks.

The below procedure is for Windows Vista but you'll get an idea:

How to create recovery media using ThinkVantage Rescue and Recovery.

If "Create Recovery Media" option is not there then update your machine via ThinkVantage System Update. You may also note that this option of creating recovery disks is only available on oem factory preload.

Drivers and software - ThinkPad R60.

OR

Downloads and drivers.

You can also give ThinkVantage System Update a try.

With the man who takes me from my horse, and leads me to a bar."
The man who took her off her steed, and stood her to a beer,
Were a bleary-eyed Surveyor and a DRUNKEN ENGINEER.
