XP clean install on IBM T61
Hi all,
This morning there was a Think pad on my desk. It's from a former Employee. They asked me to recover the files, I told them I can't cause it has a finger print security. I told them I can do a clean install. But when I tried to install it said it couldn't find the hard drive. Is this a security measure ? Is there anyway for me to re instal an OS on this Think pad ? Or do I have to get IBM involved ? Thanx |
