Anyone know if the 2133 SUSE DVD works on a 2140?

I doubt the DVD will work on the 2140 since the CPU and quite a few of the drivers are different. You can always be the first to try it out.

I didn't even try SUSE 10 on my original 2133 for more than 30 minutes before wiping it out and installing Windows XP Pro. :lol:

For my Windows XP Pro install, I've installed Macrium Reflect Free Edition, which creates a backup image just like Acronis True Image, but it's free.

The Recovery DVD linked on this thread is for the original SUSE 10 linux install that came with the 2133, not for Windows.

Thanks for the link, I will try the software out.

No idea. The DVD is titled "System Recovery DVD SLED 10 Linux". I also didn't bother playing with the original install much nor did I do any updates.

Thank you for providing this Recovery DVD ISO.

Does it recover the whole disk or one of the selectable partition? Thanks.

As far as I can remember, it will recover the whole drive only. There is no way to select a specific partition, but I may be wrong as I've only done it once.
