Anybody with x200 factory recovery set? Info needed

#1 Post by richk » Sat Jun 04, 2011 10:04 am

I am trying to recover a machine with a real set of factory DVDs and I am missing lots of drivers. When I look at the disks, the first says "recovery disk" and the second says "operating system" (vista bus 32), which are both normal. The third says applications and drivers, as it should, but it also says disk 1 of 2. Does anyone know if I am missing a disk?

If I recall correctly and I may not, my X200 only used two discs, but it was Vista Home Basic.

2 disks sounds like a set burned from the recovery partition. The originals for vista are generally at least 3

I have 4 disks:
Marked No. 1 and called "Start Recovery Disc"
No. 2 - "Operating System Recovery Disc"
No. 3 - "Applications and Drivers Recovery Disc"
Not numbered - A thinkpad logo on the very top and has "Includes software and User guide" written on it.

During recovery i have only used the three discs that are numbered, have never been asked for the fourth one.

No problem :)

Just checked, in addition to some auxiliary software (adobe and such) the 4th disc contains a few wireless drivers.

Why not just install Windows or whatever recovery disk you have with the OS and go straight to Lenovo Thinkpad update and get the latest drivers? Also, the miscellaneous apps you can find on the support site and/or in a folder if you are able to read your HDD.
