    Will a Windows Vista recovery disc for R400, T400, R500, T500 work for X200?
    Anyone?

    I am not 100% sure they would work. I got recovery disks for my X201 from Lenovo, and while the OS disk seems to be generic, the second disk mentions only the X201 series are supported. The second disk would contain the drivers and applications, etc. Although Lenovo tends to use similar hardware in the different notebooks there are still differences.
