[Thinkpad] IBM XP on an X20 - NO CD-ROM drive!

[Bruce Markowitz]

Ok, I just put an IBM load of XP onto an X 20 with no CD drive.
So here's how I did it...
Took out the hard drive and mounted it into a T20
Did a wipe to remove everything from the drive.
Booted from the first recovery CD. Told it to make a recoivery partition
(won't do that unless you wipe).
Put in the second CD when prompted. When it tole me to remove the second CD
and press enter to re-boot, I turned off the laptop and put the hard drive
back into the X20
Turned it on and VOILA!
IBM recovery proceeded perfectly!
Hope this helps someone.
