Yes, you can; but keep in mind you can only activate oem once. Some OEMs (big ones, such as DELL, HP, Lenovo...etc) don't require their customers to activate their pre-installed (or the installation from system recovery disks) Windows (Vista included). But this case is not pre-installed or system r...

License question

I already have the Vista home Pre. disk in my hand.

Because my T60 is my work machine. Can I install Vista on my 2nd temp HD. When the time comes, I will clone to my primary HD ?

As I know OEM license only allows to change some components of the laptop so I am not sure if I can do it ?

Using the Ultra bay sata adapter for dual boot

Is there any problem to use the Ultra bay stat adapter for dual boot ?

Main HD - Winxp pro
Ultrabay - Vista

Use the thinkvantage button to choose which HD to boot from.
Any disadvantages ?

Btw, where can I buy the main HD tray & rubber rails online ?

or, if you're going to have 2GB, then you might want to just try turning off virtual memory. that would have the same effect as using RAM to hold the swap file. i don't know what you use your thinkpad for, but i have 1.5 GB of RAM, and that's enough for me to not have a paging file.

The frequent cyclical disconnection of the Intel WiFi card is often caused by the Wireless Zero Configuration Service in Windows. Disable it if you are using Access Connections & Intel Utilities to manage your wireless connections. This was causing most of my Nortel IPSec Client disconnection probl...

I bought the D-link G650M today for usd25 in Hong Kong.
It is MUCH MUCH better than the internal Intel wifi card.
To be frank, the internal Intel card is not usable.

I believe you need to use the utility which comes with your thumb drive to make it bootable.

I had 3 thumb drives and only the Transcend has this utility.

I am already on my 2nd router. Used to use the Buffalo with my old Dell (with intel card) and then now using Zyxel mimo.

My router is the strongest of the available routers and I use Dect phone. Please note I dont have disconnect with Internet (only Ipsec).
