Spring cleaning of the ThinkPad with a new HD
Ahhh...spring is in the air. And I was getting a bit low on my 160GB HD.

Not only that, but I was getting odd Vista behavior, including being unable to access TripAdvisor no matter what I did. (Why that website and that website only, I have no idea.)

So, I ponied up $170 for a new 7200rpm 200GB SATA drive. Yes, I know, only 40GB more, but it'll do for now.

Plus, I got restore disks free from Lenovo and so today I re-started the ThinkPad T60p from scratch. From the restore disks.

So far so good. TripAdvisor is back. Now to download 42 Vista updates, get antivirus and antispam configured, then clean off all the Lenovo bloatware, then get Office 2007 up, then install all my other programs....

I guess we're stuck doing this about once a year.
