So I want to format the harddrive of my Thinkpad T41p and re-install Windows XP. Only problem is I don’t have any support discs from IBM for drivers and such (only the XP installation disc). I’ve copied everything in a folder marked IBMTOOLS on the C: drive onto a CD in the hopes that I just need to put them back in C: after I format.

I’ve found the Lenovo website with the drivers available as well but that just seems tedious to install each driver seperately (considering how many there must be: touch pad, trackball thingy, wireless networks, monitors, keyboard, speakers, etc etc etc.) Am I good to go or is there any reason I should not format my laptop (like will it be hard for me to make it useable again?) Thanks in advance.
