Not true for the XP recovery CDs I have for my X30. It installed windows, yes, but didn't finish the install - barfed half way through and never installed many of the required drivers. The only way I found to do a clean and full reinstall from the CDs was to delete every partition on the disk and then reinstall from CD. My procedure for getting XP and FreeBSD happy and dual booting on my X30 is in the archives somewhere, Message-ID: <[email protected]> Unfortunately the only thing I found which can resize an NTFS partition (the XP install for my X30 automatically converts the partition to NTFS) is Partition Magic 8. > >Has anyone had success with getting their reinstall CDs with out extra > >charge from IBM? > Me! Me! Me too. I called up the day my X30 arrived and said it appeared to have arrived without recovery CDs and I wanted some. They arrived, free, a couple of days later.
