    I have deleted all partitions on my X301, and the recovery disc is not working.
    (After installed disc 1, 2, and 3, I clicked "no" when the system asked me for supplement disc, but it could not continues on recovery. The message "the system cannot find the file specified" popped up. And it rebooted and detected no OS in the machine.

    Im using Window 7 now, but some drivers are not supporting, such as finger print, and WWAN, as well as thinkvintage software. Anyone have successfully installed those drivers and software on Window 7?

    Now, I have no choice but try to install window XP 64 bits on my machine.
    Anyone have idea about it? All drivers and thinkvintage software can get online and work properly?
    Thanks
