Thanks James, not so happy to hear that. :( I have the MAP keys but can't use a MAP key for this (there's no way it qualifies). I guess I'm back to looking for a trustworthy source of an XP Pro or XP Home .iso
(I can't generate it from the machine because it's a complete reinstall after wiping for some really annoying virus problem). I have Vista media for it but I'm trying to avoid installing Vista then the XP upgrade, if I can avoid it. If I have to though, would the Vista->XP upgrade disk from my X300 work on another machine, or is that also very specific as the T41p recovery disks were? -- Andrew mailto:[email protected] Thursday, April 21, 2011, 2:21:03 PM, you wrote: > Andrew, > You'll need to use a MAP key, won't work with a non-MAP key AFAIK.
