    I've picked up the CF-29 but need to install XP and all the drivers.

    Tried a generic copy of XP and loading each individual driver separately but that didn't work out too well. XP was an invalid copy.

    Anyway, just wondering if there's a better way or am I just better off ordering the three recovery disks and if so does anyone know a good source or download site?

    I believe I need MK5-XP2M-TSW because my TB model is: CF-29NCQG8BM

    I have all my drivers on a thumb drive and just copy them over as needed, no need to purchase any CD's. I'm sure Rick, rob, or many others here could point you in the right direction!

    Sorry we never had any.
    Maybe because you should be using XP PRO
