Boot CD missing.

[Stan]

I have 7CDs of the product recovery set for my T42. The problem is that I'm missing the eighth CD which appears to be the boot CD.

Is there a kind soul out there who would be willing to make a copy for me?

I'm happy to pay for the cost of media and shipping (have PayPal and I'm in the UK) if someone can help me out.

Thank you.

I can ship you one, but it would be better if you can find someone closer. (I'm in San Francisco) I make copies for forum members for $2 per CD plus shipping, but Priority Mail International costs $20 and takes 6 to 10 days. If you can find someone with a newer Thinkpad (T43, R60, T60) you might try their Rescue & Recovery CD, followed by your 7 data CDs as long as it isn't R & R version 4, which is being shipped with brand new ones.

Thanks Rich, perhaps someone in the UK will spot the post and be willing to help?

I went to the Lenovo site and downloaded Rescue and Recovery v3.1, I installed it on the T42 and went through the motions of creating a back up to CD.

I was prompted to create a rescue media CD at the first step, which I did. Once it completed I cancelled the back up procedure and was left with a boot CD that I'm hoping will allow me to install the 7 data CDs onto a blank, formatted hard drive.

Does anyone have any idea if this will work before I go any further?

Or am I barking up the wrong tree?

Thanks.

If you still require a copy of the R&R cd, pm me with your
details and I'll get one posted to you pronto.

Many thanks to Oraklini for the boot CD that arrived today, it will be of great help.
