Need recovery disk for x41
Need recovery disk for x41
Hi all
I guess the recent update to xp cripples the wacom drivers. Pretty bad luck for me.
Does anyone have a recovery download or disk so i can revert to an older state? i have no system restore points to go back to.... *cries*
I don't even know how to do all of this.
Son of a gun.

Windows XP-Pro 2005 Tablet recovery CDs for an X41T.
These files were until recently freely available for download on M E G A U P L O A D.
However, the F B I just seized the website and closed it down.

If you find them elsewhere, they are all .ISO files which need to be burned onto a CD (not DVD).
I recommend using the (free) ImgBurn from http://www.imgburn.com

Sorry 'bout that.
Guess I'll remove the links, since they are no longer valid.

Re: Need recovery disk for x41
I'd first check IBM parts just in case they have any left.
Then eBay.
Making sure you check the p/n of your computer against what is on the first CD (I know there are at least two - basic x41 and tablet model, unsure if the latter covers both versions of the tablet (apparently some were built w/o fingerprint reader).
(General advice - after taking delivery of a computer, if you can't get recovery disc set as part of the deal, run the routine to make one - it sets a counter that will be wiped out by reinstallation of the SW load.)
Dishonest sites like megaupload should be shut down for fraud.
However, I doubt IBM/Lenovo care a whole lot about the recovery CD set for old computers, they make their money on hardware and some specialized SW.

Re: Need recovery disk for x41
Would be nice of Loonovo to provide an image on their web site to download.
Some people do.
I did have to buy a replacement disk set back when as one was defective.
errBay is a good idea for source.
