not able to restore to factory settings

Exodus,

Well, I tried to run the Secure Data Disposal tool on my ThinkCentre S50 but it failed with the message "Requires .NET Version 1.1 or higher." I tell you, there's always something missing. Too many dependencies on other software.

That's pitty. Hope you will find some solution.

The solution it seems, is access to the image (apparently sdd.iso) packed within the windows executable, sdd_setup.exe

It seems like a major oversight, barring copyright/license issues, that Lenovo apparently does not make this file available as a separate download.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, not all of us have access to a functioning windows 2000/xp machine or as howagood's situation demonstrates, a compatible machine.

So Lenovo, have I overlooked that file and if not, could you make it available?
