We use IBM thinkpads and they come factory installed OS. Is there a way to
perform a repair install with an XP disk/other methods?

IBM would be better suited (Lenovo now isn't it?) to answer that? They
probably offer either recovery CDs available from their site or they offer a
way to burn CDs from their software installed on their computers. With HP,
for instance, it's in the HP Tools folder in the program files. With other's
you'll want to get the CDs from the OEM. In this particular case I don't
know but I usually find OEMs offering two types. The first is a complete
recovery mode that does a complete repair to the exact same condition the PC
arrived in. The second is usually called something like "non-destructive
recovery" and is the same as a repair installation in which only Windows
files and OEM specific files are usually replaced.
