Ok, earlier this month I ordered 2 T60 laptops both idetnical except mine came with BT and DVD RAM drive and my dad's came with no BT and only CD-RW.
When they arrived I did a clean install of XP-Pro following one of the posts here on the forums (BIG THANKS for that!) on my machine. Everything came up and was working fine. All devices showed and seemed to be operating fine. I then had a Ghost image made of it and applied the image to my dad's. Again at first everything appeared fine, when it booted it found the CD-RW drive and applied drivers for that. All others devices appeared fine in the device manager, including the BT device. But wait, my dad's doesn't have a BT device. Shouldn't this device / driver either not show up at all in the device manager or show as not working properly? It doesn't give me the option of uninstalling the BT device / driver either. It just seems very strange. Oh, and my dad's LCD does not have a BT icon on it like mine does.
Anyone else experience this before?

Ghosting between different hardware always causes problems.

My network admin rarely has any problem ghosting between different hardware. If he does, he says its usually because of different motherboard or chipsets. He thought this was strange also. He even was wondering if the BT hardware was actually there but just disabled for manufacturing cost reasons. I doubt it, but figured I would ask you guys.
So far it hasn't caused any problems, its was just a strange anomaly.
Why is bluetooth showing in device manager of T60?
