I got a T43, installed an mSATA SSD and installed a generic version of Windows XP. I wanted to use the recovery media to restore it to the factory state. However, once the boot window loads and I select the recovery menu, after a few screens I get an error message that it got canceled at the conversion phase. Is there any workaround to this?

Re: T43 Recovery not working
Welcome to the Forum.
You're not the first one with this problem.
Happened already in 2007, see e.g. https://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?t=47679
But it could also be that the Restore does not recognise the mSATA drive as being 'properly' formatted.
