If you have any suggestions or problems, please post a comment below! This may or may not have been caused by the slipstreaming, but if anyone is willing to experiment, you can easily leave out the network drivers and update pack (make sure to still use the Intel Storage Matrix Driver and the KB896256 Hotfix). Windows booted up fine the first time and I had only minor problems with System Update not properly installing things. Update: I tried out the install last night and it seemed to work well. This may work on other Lenovo models, but some of the instructions are likely to change slightly (mainly the drivers and hotfix).

(This is no longer relevant if you integrate SP3!)Ī lot of the initial inspiration came from this guide, but everything here has been recreated from scratch to customize for T60 owners. Please be cautious when trying this out and make sure you have a backup before doing anything catastrophic, I cannot be held responsible for any damage as a result of this tutorial. Although I haven't tested this yet myself, a forum user has reported that installing this hotfix in Safe Mode resolved the issue. The problem I had previously where the machine would continually reboot when trying to load Windows seems to have been solved by integrating the KB896256 hotfix into the install. The CD that is created in this tutorial embeds the Lenovo OEM key (different from the one on the bottom of the machine) and doesn't require activation as long as it's installed on the same machine the license came with. After reading some posts and tutorials and running into problems, I finally have the solution for ThinkPad T60 owners. This CD would allow the user to install their own copy of Windows free of the preloaded garbage that comes on every machine.

When I first bought my Lenovo ThinkPad T60, I was a little disappointed at the absence of a normal OEM Windows XP CD. Please note that the RVM Update Pack and KB896256 hotfix are no longer necessary with Service Pack 3. Now updated for Windows XP SP3, if you encounter any problems, please let me know!
