These are some of the links I have found recently for DVD and/or W2K stuff
on TPs.
I would recommend starting at the IBM pages. Apologies if they are 570
specific.
Hope it helps in some way.

Subject: Installing Windows 98 onto a Thinkpad 770ED without any drivers
Hello everyone,
I have recently inherited a Thinkpad 770ED with a DVD drive, but there was
no operating system installed on the machine. I install Windows 98 and am
about half way through installing Mandrake 7.2 on the system. I don't
anticipate problems I can't deal with installing Mandrake, but I am having
problems with the Windows installation. (Insert some snide remark about
the inferiority of Windows to Linux here.)
Here is the problem (in Windows). I do not have the DVD movie application,
nor the Region diskette. And IBM does not have this software available for
download. Any ideas on how I can obtain this information? The system
recovery CD for this system could be useful as well, does anyone know if I
can download the CD somewhere? Or perhaps I can convince someone to burn a
copy of the CD for me at a reasonable cost. It would be a shame if I have
a DVD drive and cannot watch DVD movies.
Of course, I am open to other solutions to this problem.
Franco
