    If I choose the clean install option on the windows xp cd and choose the c :preload partition will the hidden partition with the rescue recovery be deleted also?

    In order to keep using all the thinkvantage software to have the blue thinkvantage work on my t60 do I need to manually get all the drivers off of the lenovo website?

    No the recovery partition will not be deleted unless you delete it, but you'll need it for the ThinkVantage button.

    Just download the software update utility from Lenovo, then it should find out what your system needs.
