question about recovery discs.

#1 Post by ronan_zj » Tue May 20, 2008 3:15 am

I just get my X61 tablet, and I find out it has 8 discs in the box.
my computer OS is Vista Business, and i am wondering if these 8 discs are Vista recovery discs or XP tablet discs? coz it doesnt say anything on it.
Also, there is one CD called Supplermental Product Recovery CD , can any1 tells me what disc is it?

What part numbers are on the disks?

My guess is they are Windows XP disks.

Look closely at the discs. It usually says XP or Vista on there somewhere. I am guessing XP because they are CD's. Doesn't Vista restore come on DVD's?

it should say "XPP" or i guess "XPTE" or something like that on the discs at the left underneath the numbers and naming on the "left" side of the discs.

Also, there is one CD called Supplemental Product Recovery CD, can any1 points out what it is? coz I dont see this kind of CD from my T42 and T60 recovery CDs.

You got disks with the machine? How come? Where / what machine did you buy? Where from?

I thought they stopped shipping recovery discs.
