at that time (with a r50p) it restored the first partition to the state 
it was when bought. i think it should be possible to extract a "normal" 
windows XP install disk from the recovery media and install this into vbox.
alternatively you could just use a normal winXP pro cd and your key from 
the underside since you most definitely don't want any of the thinkpad 
sprecific stuff inside the VM
