Thanks to everyone who chipped in some advice about the Recovery CD.
Well, everything went ok... until I found out that 500 mb doesn't
cover the space needed to decompress all the files. 700 mb barely
does it. So now I'm doing a recovery for the 3rd time... this time
with 850 mb of space.
A very important command to remember is the RESETC command. Keep that
in the back of your head... should you ever abort the recovery CD (at
ANY time), you need to run the RESETC command on the boot floppy.
So far, on my Thinkpad 600E (300mhz), a restore seems to take about 25
minutes. Don't know where IBM gets this 2 hour figure from... but
it's not so bad. I even venture to say that when you get a new
system, go ahead and try out the recovery CD right away. It's good
practice if you ever need it.
We'll see how 98 does compared to NT.
Whoops... the recovery just aborted saying there was a problem
decompressing. ????? Oh well... gonna feed it some more space.
