    Hi,

    After buying a new T42, I don't use Windows XP. And I setup Windows Server 2003. By insert CD, installing, and after that I can not access IBM restore program by press Access IBM button. However, the HPA is still there, I don't delete it and I think I can re-enable it again. Do you know how to restore this function? I need test something on my laptop by restore Windows XP Professional.

    The mainly error is very strange. My laptop always notify me: Power Purge on USB Hub, and my laptop is not running smooth. I open the Task Manager, and see that the CPU doing other task, I don't know who it is, and make the system is very busy every 20-30 seconds. I tested by listen music only, and the song is corrupted (paused, stopped) by 20-30 seconds and then continued.

    Please help me to fix those errors. Thank you very much!

    PS. Because I could not use functions in Access IBM button, I tried install my own lisenced Windows XP, but those errors are remain. I disabled the error USB Hub in Device Manager, but my CPU is not running smooth. If I disable all USB, I think it runs normal. I sent for warranty, they said that software error and they sent back to me without any change. :( What is error?
