Secure Digital Card support with Microsoft Windows 2000/XP - ThinkPad X40, X60
Applicable countries and regions

Note: Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 includes all necessary support files for this device. If the system is initially setup with Service Pack 2, or is later updated to Service Pack 2, this device will be correctly identified and installed. If Service Pack 2 is installed, there are no additional steps required to support the Secure Digital (SD) card slot.

If the preload is not to be used, it is recommended that the entire contents of C:\IBMTOOLS be copied from the original preload onto the custom image to ensure all available hot fixes, initial driver support, etc. are available on the image being implemented. If the original preload has been deleted, it should be restored in order to obtain this software.
