If your laptop was purchased before summer 2007, you may call 1-800-ibm-serv and they can direct you on how to order them from Lenovo. If you have a 2007-2008 laptop, there is an option under Programs to create restore disks. Note, when creating them, you MUST use a blank CD for the first disk, but you MAY use blank DVDs for subsequent disks. Also note that these disks will put only Lenovo licensed software on your hard drive and remove everything already on there. They are most commonly used if you sell your laptop or transfer from Clemson.
