    Ok, I was trying to make a partition. Something happened, and my computer was hanged. Obviously, I restarted my computer after waiting for 15 minutes.

    Now I get this error after the ThinkPad Logo:

    "Interrupted operation: Inser the Recovery CD or other Recovery Media and reboot your PC...."

    Now here, I don´t have recovery CD with me (I am away from country for a meeting). I have only USB stick with me and I wonder if it is possible to download some sort of recovery image from IBM website, put it in USB and back into the business?. I just want to start my system. It doesn´t matter if I loose the data (though I prefer not to)

    Any suggestions?
