I finally put the hard drive with Vista installed back into my laptop only to reformat it. I reinstalled Vista again but went from x86 to x64. I switched over to x64 because so far I have had good luck with x64 Windows XP and Windows 7 and the fact that Lenovo has full x64 drivers for my T61. Lucky for me, I have full legit copies of Vista Business x86 and x64 retail as provided by my friend Andrew.
