    I have the recovery disks for CF-29EWPGZKM, should they work on my CF29CTKGBKM? I thought I read that series 1,2 and 3 should all work interchangebly. The C model has a wiped disk with no OS.

    Thanks, Tim

    Nope... The "C" version is a MK2.... While the "E" version is an MK3... Two different sets of Recovery Disks... You can't swap them... They MUST match the model.

    According to http://www.toughwiki.com/index.php?title=CF-29 the "C" is a MK1 and the "E" is a MK2.

    I am still waiting for my CF-29E... from ebay to arrive, but I have MK2 recovery disks.... Hope I have the correct ones!!
