IBM R32 - ibm product recovery prompt

[ddzc]

Hey guys,

I have an IBM R32 here. I need to access the ibm product recovery. Unfortunately, it doesen't prompt me to hit F11 upon bootup. Hitting the thinkpad button does nothing.

I accessed the bios and under startup I noticed that "ibm product recovery prompt" is shaded out. I cannot modify the value to enable or disable.

Any ideas on how I can fix this?

Thanks

ddzc,

First, is the PC stable and bootable? You could try flashing BIOS :

but I would not attempt that if you are in disaster mode. Please elaborate on why you need to access Recovery.
