Internet. Check the Support section of the IBM PC Company
home page at http://www.pc.ibm.com/support.html for the
latest information or if you have problems.
You need to create all installation diskettes using the
Diskette
Factory
(diskette backup program), which is preloaded on your
computer. (In some countries, you will find utility and device
driver diskettes packed in the box with the computer.)
To use the Diskette Factory, click on the Diskette Factory icon;
then follow the instructions on the screen.
(In Windows 95, you can find the Diskette Factory icon in the
ThinkPad Tools folder, where you can create only the ThinkPad
device drivers diskette. To create the Windows 95 system
diskettes, select Start, Accessories, System Tools, and then
Create System Disks.)
For the device driver diskettes, also check the IBM PC Company
home page ( http://www.pc.ibm.com/support.html ). Updated
version of diskettes may be available on the Internet.
