Are you not able to install windows, or is it installed and just giving you a hard time? If the former, I'm guessing you have an OEM copy of windows and it's not recognizing your hardware as that of the manufacturer that it's supposed to be.
Activator doesn't seem to recognize that the CD key is OEM.
Either way, its not my problem anymore in that its at the service center.
Windows 7 cannot come soon enough though.
My laptop hunt has currently taken an unexpected turn. It seems one of my relatives overseas can purchase Lenovos for cheap due to her tie ins with a university laptop program, so suddenly the X200 has dropped right into my price bracket.....

For pretty much the same price as the 14" Acer timeline I was look at earlier, its tempting since I'm a big Lenovo fanboy. Oh, and I'll get Win7 for free as well.
