BUT 2) That is just working with an IBM CD-drive sitting in the Thinkpads Ultrabay, explicitly NOT (at least that is what it says) with an IBM docking station. Can someone here explain me the sense of having such a thing for the X-series then? On top 2*) You are not allowed to have any USB drives connected to your Thinkpad whilst updating. Wonderful, or?
