    I did a clean Install on my T61 before, but I did not remove the hidden partition.

    So now can I make recovery disks follow this steps?

    Make Recovery Disks: Open the start menu and in the search box, type "Recovery Media" (without the quotes). Then click Recovery Media from the window. *Be warned, you can only make ONE copy of the recovery media. If you mess up, you'll have to reinstall from the partition again in order to be able to make another recovery disk.* Make sure you have 3 recordable dvd disks available (or 1 CD and 2 DVDs. The first disk can be a CD). It takes 2 to 3 blank disks total. Then just follow the instructions and you'll be all set.

    I can't find the "Recovery MEdia" any more, Is there any solutions? Thanks, guys.

    If you did a clean install it is no longer there. If you want to put it back using the recovery parition, then you could make them.

    Isn't the recovery on a diffrent partition. So even if you did a clean install if you did not delete that partion shouldn't it still be there

    ZaZ is saying that the program Recovery Media is not there after the clean install, not the partition. And he is right.
