wrong recovery CD's??

#1 Post by thinkpod » Thu Jun 10, 2004 1:07 pm

Hey all,

(I just got my t41p from Bill, and it rocks.)

I ordered a set of recovery CD's for my T41p 2373GEU and IBM sent me CD's that say thay are for "Thinkpad T40, T40p Type 2373, 2374" and "3/15/2003" and "P/N 01R8066." I can't find any info on whether these are the right CD's for me, but my gut says no. Given that I don't need to use them right now, I can't exactly test them...

Anyone know for sure?

T40 and T41 both use the same recovery CDs. The ones you have are fine and I've yet to see any that were specifically for the T41.

I am sure that Bill told me that the cd's for the T40 and the T41 are the same, but that the T41p has its own set.

Apparently that T40, T41 have 4 Cds and the T41p has an exra fifth CD.

Speak up Bill, I know you have the answer. :D

The recovery CD sets are different for the T40 vs. the T41. For one thing, if you load your T41 with a CD set for the T40 you probably won't get the Active Protection application.

The recovery is stored in the service partition if you need it.
