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.
