    Hello
    I just got a T61 from ebay and I want to do a clean wipe since I don't trust the previous user. I asked the guy for recovery cds so I can reinstall and he said I just use the THinkVantage button. Can anyone direct me on what exactly to do as this is my first thinkpad.

    thanks!

    After you reinstall the system make sure to create your own set of Recovery discs for next time.
