    I have a T42p which runs really slow and has had a ton of programs installed and uninstalled over the past few years. The specs are still pretty good so i want to refresh windows to make it snappy again. I don't have an XP disc and I don't have a recovery cd. What are my choices? How can I tell if i have a recovery partition with XP on it?

    Thanks. I'll try this out. Is one better than the other?
