IBM Thinkpad i Series 1400 crashed last night and will now not boot beyond the initial IBM thinkpad screen. Will not even go so far so I can use the recovery CD Rom.

You will need to enter the bios and set the initial drive to a:. You will then need a bootable floppy from which you can load the DOS cd-rom drivers. Once you have done this you will be able to user the recovery CD-ROM
