    We bought 2 different models of cf-18's - cf-18BDAZXMM AND CF-18FHAZCBM. I have OEM restore disks for the mk2, mk4 and mk5. What disks do I use for these 2 listed? I would prefere to use the MK4 as i already have a boot disk set up. Thanks for the help1

    The 18BD is a Mk1 digitizer and requires a Mk1 XP Tablet PC disc. The 18FH is a Mk3 touchscreen and requires a Mk3 XP Pro disc. No boot disk is required for the factory restore discs.

    None of the ones you have now will work. Sorry. :(
    Since none of your disk sets will work, this may help you if you chose to use OEM Windows Installation Disks on your machines:
