My Hdrive crashed and had to replace it. Everthing reloaded just with Windows XP Pro disc. Everything seems to work OK except there is no hibernate any more. The function key and -Start/Turn off computer/hiberbate is ghosted. How can I restore this function?
Here is a link to all the drivers and software you need to put back on your R40 laptop. The one you were asking about is a bit more than halfway down the page, listed under ACPI Power Management. http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?sitestyle=lenovo&lndocid=MIGR-46024

You need a recovery disc for this operation. If you're any good with computers at all, and do not do this lightly, you can download dukes ban. Again this is not for novice pc users. This will literally and completely wipe your entire computer. Nothing will be recoverable and you will have to set everything. even the Hard Drive sizes. You will then need an OS disc like windows vista, windows 7, windows xp, etc and reload the entire OS back onto the hard drive.
I would try to start it up in safe mode. This can tell you whether it's a display (physical) issue, or a driver (software) issue. You can do this by hitting the F8 button as soon as you start the computer and it brings up a prompt. At the Advanced system prompt, choose "Safe Mode with Networking" and see if it works then. If it does, I would suggest you undo an changes in the drivers that you made before.
looks like ur computer is still infected .. try downloading and running trojan remover first and then run malware bytes antimalware .. try running Dial A Fix for windows XP to fix these Errors .. Hope things work fine for you ..
The IBM Recovery Disk that comes with those laptops is set up for Windows 2000, not Windows XP Pro. The answer is No, you cannot use the IBM Recovery Disk for them, if you install Windows XP Pro.
However! You will have a recovery disk, because you will have the Full Installation disk for Each laptop. Windows XP Pro Full Installation Disk.
(Microsoft Users License states "One genuine copy of Windows per One computer" That means you need Two, genuine copies of Microsoft Windows XP Pro)
A restoration disc is not a conventional Windows OS disc (and vice
versa), therefore it often cannot be used as if it were a true Windows
disc. The restoration disc includes the OS, but it also includes every
driver and other software product that came with your system. If
Windows were the only item loaded on your system, then a Windows disc
could serve as a restoration disc, but these days, using a typical
restoration disc is an all-or-nothing process.
A restoration
disc is your ultimate troubleshooting tool. Suppose that your copy of
Windows becomes damaged from a virus or key applications become
corrupted. Symptoms such as instability, crashing, indecipherable error
messages, and impaired performance are extremely hard to diagnose by
yourself—even if you have the help of a customer support technician on
the telephone. If the most common corrective steps fail, you can always
use the restoration disc to recover your PC back to its known-good,
factory-fresh state.
its oem, you either need IBMs restore cd for your particular laptop (model) or an xp pro (any service pack will do) OEM disk. You can not get the OEM disk at best buy, circuit city target etc those are retail versions and will not work. Newegg.com or frys electronics are your best bet, but by buying it from them you are getting another copy of xp pro, just use the cd with the keycode on your laptop and then you can install xp pro on another pc using the code that came with the disk. MAKE SURE YOU ARE GETTING AN OEM VERSION AND NOT A RETAIL VERSION.
Some technical stuff: For the xp pro disk you MUST have the COA product key available, this is usually on the bottom of your laptop, for IBMs disk you just have to have an IBM WITH an IBM motherboard as without the motherboard it will not work. For example, the motherboard goes out and you replace it with a non ibm board it will only boot for 3-5 times, the ideaa is that this gives you time to get your documents off. This is per Microsoft agreement with ibm and all other Original equipment manufactures this include hp, dell etc.
sorry if this is too technical for you please let me know.
