    Has anybody used the Lenovo program Base Software Administrator to format their system with exactly what they want? I haven't seen anybody talk about this as an option but it seems it should work. The link to the program is:

    I've never tried it but it seems like it could be less of a hassle than the other methods talked about on the forum.

    Here is another thread that talks a little more about it:

    If I had my t61 I would've used it already, but for now I'll have to go by what other people say. Anyway, it seems a little complicated. I'm sure with a little work you can figure out exactly what you want and don't want when you use the base software administrator.
