Fed up with clean install and no SU

#1 Post by asiafish » Fri May 15, 2009 7:38 am

Does anyone have 64-bit Vista business restore disks they would be willing to copy or sell? My T400 has a proper Vista business COA and is licensed for Vista business, but Lenovo will not send 64 bit restore media.

I've tried the clean install twice now and still cannot get switchable graphics to work (also have to unknown devices that I can't install).

Thanks in advance.

I skipped Vista and went straight to 64-bit Win7 RC. What is Lenovo's reasoning for not selling you the media you request?

I think he means sending the 64 bit disks without charge.

They won't sent them at all as my machine originally shipped with 32 bit. They sent me 32 bit disks.
