    I have a problem with my Lenovo 3000 N200 and tried to restore it using the restoration disk I had made. The restoration started to run ok, said it was completed. Asked me to reboot the computer, then asked for the disk again. At this point it said I have the wrong disk. I am stuck because I am going in circles. What can I do or how can I get a new restoration disk to restore the computer. It's just a year old.

    AFAIK, thinkpads have a restoration utility in them, without a disk. When you boot up, from bios you can select it.

    Anyone want to back me up on this?

    Yep, just press the blue "ThinkVantage" button on the boot screen and it will take care of you.
