T61 Clean Install Question

I just cleaned my drive and reinstalled Windows, and I was wondering where I could get some of the ThinkVantage Software that I used earlier, such as the Hard drive Active Protection, the Battery Manager, and the Wifi Manager. What's the best way to install the software, and will I still be able to use the dedicated ThinkVantage button? Thanks.

 

You can download the thinkvantage software and drivers for the T61 from here:

Thanks a lot - will I still be able to use the ThinkVantage button?

 

Depends. Are you talking about the blue button at startup or blue button quick menu in Windows?

Have you deleted the hidden partition?

 

Both - Basically, my hard drive failed and all the data (both partitions) were put into a folder on a separate drive, with a clean version of Windows installed on that drive, booting off of the new version of Windows.

 

You'll need to install the Productivity Center for the Blue Button to open the quick menu in Windows.

To get the pre-boot function, follow this:
