TP General - Missing option to create Windows 95 System Diskettes

Applicable to: World-Wide

SYMPTOM:
The Create System Disk, used to create Windows 95 diskettes, is not an option under System Tools.

CONFIGURATION:
Any ThinkPad that shipped with a reload CD.

SOLUTION:
In contrast to earlier ThinkPads, the ThinkPads that come with recovery CD's do NOT have the option to create a backup copy of the Windows 95 operating system. This function has been removed from these systems since a preload recovery CD is shipping in the box. System device drivers and preloaded applications will still be available in 'Diskette Factory'. Windows 95 should be restored from the Preload recovery CD instead of the backup option.
