My boyfriend reformatted my aunts laptop. Or at least got part way through it. He can't find the drivers online. At least not any that work. It's an ibm t42 thinkpad. We went to the ibm website and the lenovo website. But those drivers didn't work and so far everything else just leads us back to the lenovo site. I think my aunt bought the laptop off her old computer tech guy and she said he didn't give her anything at all to go with it, so no recovery disk or anything. Any tips or ideas?

What operating system are you installing?

Windows xp. I think he already installed windows. But he needs the drivers for things like wireless internet and usb's. If I'm understanding this all correctly. Would that make sense?

Is he getting the drivers from here?
Lenovo Support & downloads - Right navigation for documents

Yes. That's the site we tried

I also have a thinkPad T42. Which EXACT model?

The back says TYPE 2374 CT0. Is that the model?

2374 is correct, but I don't see a CTO model.

We didn't either. Which we thought was weird. But we can't find anything else on the laptop. Just that. We tried CT1, to see if maybe that might be close enough. But it didn't work.
