No BIOS issues, but Windows 2000, WXP, and VISTA are designed to detect
any
changes other than memory, and shut down the hard drive
Nah; all they ask is that you reregister the copy (or let it reregister
itself online). I haven't done this with Thinkpads, but in the last year
I've done motherboard swaps/upgrades on two desktops - one running W2K, one
running XP - and while in both cases Windows reacted as if it was in a new
machine, it was painless to get it functioning.
