    Hello all,

    Does anyone have the Recovery Cds for a R51 1836 Bau? Can someone make me copys for me? I am willing to pay for your copys, i can access the hiddin partion to preload my R51 back, i delete the OS and the F11 key does not work. I try everything to get it working but can't. So can someone make me copys of there CDs and send it to me. Pleses

    Hello Zazonz,

    How are you doing? I call IBM, but i can only buy it with CC, which i don't have anymore. They only take CC, and no other payment.

    As long as it has Visa/MasterCard on it, I would think it is good unless there is no moeny in the account.
