    I just bought a T42 2378 off of Ebay and it's great so far. The only problem is that the guy who had it before me formatted the hardrive so that the Access IBM button doesn't work (or, I suspect that's what happened). I know I'm missing out on something but I'm not too sure what it is. What do you all think? Do I need to worry about this? Is there even a way to get it to work again?

    You need to download Rescue and Recovery.

    Thank you. Seems a bit tighter than the backup that comes with XP Pro.
