building a HDD for T43 1871

#1 Post by burns334 » Mon Apr 16, 2012 7:45 pm

Hi folks, I need to build a HDD for a T43 with Intel graphics but I only have the R&R disks for a 2668 with ATI graphics. Can I built it with this set and then just go to the ibm sight and download and install the correct ones (Intel) and delete the wrong (ATI) thru add and remove programs?

Don't see any reason why that won't work. In fact, I'm fairly sure I've done it that way before.

Yes, as Neil said - it will work just fine.

Thanks guys, always nice to get some agreement instead of falling on one's face.
