    Hi,

    some technician has deleted by mistake the internal system partition that contains the OS and recovery programs etc.

    Is there any way to recover it? or is there an other way to recover the laptop to factory state?

    I need to recover to factory state because i have a v. strange problem, on the specification of the product on eBay it says i have a wireless abgn card, but no driver works for me, the technician opened the laptop and told me that there is no wlan card in there. who should i believe? :/ my only hope is that there is still an "unrecognized" hardware mark on "device manager" in XP. but none of drivers i downloaded from lenovo seem to work.

    Any help very much appreciated!!!

    Open it up yourself and check for the wireless card; it won't void your warranty.
