Recovery partition

#1 Post by kienbk8008vn » Tue Feb 12, 2008 1:10 am

Dear all
I am using IBM T60 1951-BH2 but I think the fans in room T4x are more and more experience than fans in T6x (I think).
We both know that If our computer have license WinXP (or Vista) at the beginning, we will have a hidden partition in side our hard disk, it's used for recovering when we need.
But I bought my one without license WinXP so now I want to create a hidden recovery partition like other with license OS but I do not know.

If any professional man can show me the way.
Great full with my thank you.

MOD EDIT: Moved from T4x to T6x forum.
Thank you

You can't without Product recovery disks and since your machine came with DOS license so IBM wouldn't sell you any.

You would need to buy a Windows license to install Windows.

To create hidden partition you would need recovery disks which requires you to have a valid license (Windows in your case) which your machine doesn't have.
