recovery disc to xp problem?

Hi all I just want to say that you guys on this forum are great first of all. I try and do my own research before I post a thread but Im not having much luck w/ a definitive answer on this one. I recently upgraded my ibm thinkpad and am currently awaiting my new 1gb ram and a recovery cd from ibm to reinstall winxp as I had been running win2k pro. Now heres the rub ...The thinkpad originally came w/ winxp installed and I have the COA sticker and product key on the back Im not sure why my brother installed win2k pro on the new hd but he did and thats what I have been using so am I going to have a problem when I use the winxp recovery cd to reinstall xp onto this hd? Thanks for any input.

 

You shouldn't have any problems with the Recovery CD.

 

You will find the option to also create a restore partition on your IBM recovery disk. Consider using this.

There was a recent thread about thinkpads restore.
