| 366105 | 2005-06-22 08:53:00 | I need to borrow, copy, purchase, or beg to get a copy of a Recovery Disc for an IBM laptop/thinkpad model 760ED. Is there anybody out there who can help? I am in Christchurch. IBM could not help. | nickitwo (2885) | ||
| 366106 | 2005-06-22 09:30:00 | Find out from IBM who the local IBM laptop repairer is - phone them and explain the situation. most likely they'll charge for it but they should have one. | pctek (84) | ||
| 366107 | 2005-06-22 10:51:00 | IBM advised tht I should send to IBM in Auckland, not too keen on that idea. | nickitwo (2885) | ||
| 366108 | 2005-06-22 11:15:00 | Try Able Business Machines in Washington Way, Christchurch. They are supposed to be IBM support. | godfather (25) | ||
| 366109 | 2005-06-23 09:26:00 | Ha! LOL. I went down this same road with IBM last time. At the end of the day you have to pay them crazy amounts just to get the CD, if you had one but you lost it, or sometimes in my state, it was preloaded as a hidden partition bootable to setup with a special hotkey. To cap it off, their damn HDD failed during warranty and all they gave me back was a new empty HDD and I had to get my own OS (they said) or I can purcahse a recovery CD from them from Austrlalia. I begged 4 months to get my CD for free. Your model is out of warranty now right? Get your own windows I say ... I would just buy a old windows copy and install it and download IBM's drivers off the net. They tried to sell me win98 recovery CD for like $75 and said it was the CD-r charge and for courier from Australia and admin cost. This was when WinXP was the current OS. |
