Hi i want to change os on my thinkpad r32 from win xp to win 7 but when the installation starts it requests drivers,which i dont have....can you help me please?
Seems you are attempting an upgrade install. Try to do an erase install / Format Install, most probably it will pick up the drivers on its own if not you can search for the drivers on

If you can get your hands on a Windows XP cd, it will partition and format the drive for you allowing you to install from scratch. You would then just plug in the license key from the sticker on your laptop. As far as the recovery disk on the original CD, there might be an option on bootup that would have you push an F key to access it. Or you can usually order them online. It's not too hard to get the drivers you need from online so I would just go with any XP disk you can get your hands on. You'll be using your own license so you can even borrow one.

For this amount of RAM, the operating system should not be an issue. You may have a compatibility problem w/ the RAM you are attempting to use.
Below is some info. I gathered on your system and its memory requirements. Hopefully, this will help.
Whenever you're looking for memory for a computer, a good search to use in your favorite search engine is "memory configurator". A number of manufacturer's have a place on their web site where you can plug in info on your computer and find out what RAM it supports, etc.
Your system can support up to 288MB of RAM. 32MB is fixed (built in).
That leaves you w/ a maximum of 128MB per bank (slot in this case) for a total of 256MB max added.
Your system does not require ECC nor dual channel memory. Nor do the DIMMs need to be installed in matching pairs.
Your system takes SDRAM. PC133 will be fine. In fact, you'd have a difficult time finding PC100 these days (and it'd be a lot more expensive (because it is essentially obsolete technology).
Please, go HERE for IBM/Lenova's listing of memory options for your laptop.
Please, let us know if this response was helpful for
you or, of course, if you have more questions, etc on this topic.
Thank you
BJ

Try running it without the battery. Sometimes an IBM battery can develop a short and cause this. If it still does it without the battery, I'm afraid it's the power management chip on the motherboard, and the motherboard will need to be replaced.
