Re: [Thinkpad] Windows XP recovery CD for T23

Seebs,
Best way to tell what flavor of XP your recovery CD holds is to look in the
i386 folder for the "setupp.ini" file. (Two "P"s, that's not a typo).

There will be a line "PID=" followed by eight numbers.
The last three numbers tell what type of CD key will be accepted:
OEM = OEM CD key only
270 = volume license key only
335 = retail license key only
