If the disks are similar to the recovery CD's that came with my A20p, 
then they won't work on anything except the original hard-drive (Or 
preumably one that looks similiar enough to it). I replaced my IBM 20GB 
HD (4800rpm) with a Fujitsu 40GB (7200rpm) one, and the CD's wouldn't 
install... Claimed it wasn't the right machine or something... Anyway... 
No great loss, I just did without windoze. It's not like I ever used it 
or anything.
