    Hi,

    Since I will sell my R61 ThinkPad I would like to perform system recovery to original factory settings. Currently I have XP installed. I would like to keep my XP license and revert the notebook to its original state using 3 Vista recovery DVD I made before clean XP installation.

    Should I expect any problems or I have to just insert first DVD and reboot?

    Thanks and BR
    Vlado

    Just put in the startup disc (make sure you set BIOS to boot from CD) and it should start the process for you.

    Good luck.
