T41 - I have no Recovery CD and no 'Create Recovery CDs' :(

Topic says it all.

My system is whack and I need to recover it. I don't have the recovery cds, and i don't have 'Create Recovery CDs' on my start menu.

What do I do? I cant find anything on IBM.com to add this?

Only the T42 + models have this option. In your case: Download

unhide the hidden partition in the bios, and make an image from your hdd.

Of course you can also recover your system by pressing "access IBM" or F11 during the boot phase.
