Use any windows installation disc and get the drivers from their website.

www.lenovo.com has it all, dude. I got my T61 with linux, installed Tiny XP rev08, downloaded the wifi driver and the auto-installer from lenovo's site and then let the auto installer take car of whatever the laptop needed.

Uh, yes it does.

Download the installer JD was talking about, transfer, and run.

Or download the drivers, right click my computer > properties > hardware > device manager, double click the ethernet hardware which should be under "other devices," choose update driver, browse to the flash drive.

Both my T42's didn't come with discs, how do I make a disc?

T42p = XP Pro SP3 IE6
T42 = XP Pro SP3 IE7

Yes JD, I bought another one from mom. $$310 shipped for 1.7 GHz, 1 GB ram, 40 GB HD, 32 MB vid, it's for mom but can also be used for tuning.
