    when it comes to these kind of devices there are many interfaces that can be used in order to be connected to the computer.... so expand each of the class of devices present there by clicking the + sign adjacent to it... generally these generic devices if their driver has been installed would have their name plus some other technical terms in their naming present under one of these classes...

Windows xp x41 migration vto x61

Have you tried just swapping the HDD into the new computer? The hardware might be similar enough for that to work.

Personally I would collect my files onto a flash drive, and start with a fresh install of the operating system on the x61. It will run much faster with a fresh install.

My lenovo x61 is locked, it doesn't boot. when it on it shoes me a lock & ask the password, I don't know the password, please help me what am i want to do.

There is a list of common backdoor passwords for BIOS locks here. If these do not work you may need to seek help at your local computer repair facility, as cracking these passwords is either extremely difficult, or involves dissasembling the machine.

Maybe IBM have some drivers but as XP is obsolete, they may not.

Operating Systems as supplied from new.
Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit
Microsoft Windows Vista Business 32-bit and 64-bit
Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate 32-bit
Microsoft Windows XP Tablet Edition 2005

Are you using XP Tablet Edition as that edition has the drivers for the features?

I gave a password has my bios and i forgot it

The password exists to prevent a thief in possession of your computer from using it. Find the original sales-receipt, to prove that you are the owner, and telephone IBM for technical support.

I have a labtop x61 tablet which failed to boot the operating system windows vista

The best way to fix this is to insert the Windows Vista DVD that originally came with the computer. After you have the disc in, restart the computer and you should be prompted to "Press Any Key To Boot From Disc" or something along those lines...

Once you do that you will be given the option to repair Windows Vista. It will automatically scan the computer and fix any issues.

If you have a specific error message or have any trouble doing this, please let me know and I will be more then happy to further assist you!

Laptop

IBM sold off it's notebook line to LENOVO. The Thinkpads are excellent business machines and for the price of a Macbook that is dual-bootable, you can really do the Thinkpad up nicely. If he was going to college for a design or music or something like that I would go with the Macbook. Since he is going for business, go with the Thinkpad.
