    Hello all,

    I just got my very first T61P and it looks very nice and very well built!!!

    It comes with XP pro SP3 installed and no cd; I have a question:

    - Is there any way for me to make a bootable CD ( Win XP Pro SP3 ) from what i have in the laptop?

    Thx

    Oh thx. ahah i guess i'm so excited that i did not even read all the manual that came with it...


    Oh yeah, my bad. It's XP Pro Sp2 pre-installed.
    Sp3 is out since last year already.... there's an download package you can get from MS.

    *** So much junkware came with it though.... and I don't really have time to do a fresh/clean XPP install atm...
