    How do I start a clean install of Windows 7 (from MSDN) to my T61p? I am currently running a Lenovo installed 32-bit version of Vista. I have run and want to run 64 bit Windows 7.

    You'll need a Windows 7 disc.

    I know that and I have the 64bit disk. I'm wondering how I'll boot it. No trouble with the desktop and a more complex bios by the same manufacturer but I haven't known for sure that I have a bootable dvd yet, so I thought I'd ask.

    Will start to to work on full problem as soon as a friend drops a disk over. Actually this is my way of filling several unknowns at once.

    The Windows 7 disc I have is bootable. Just hit F12 at boot and it should give you the boot options, one of which should be the optical drive.
