    Okay, so i should be receiving a new faster, bigger internal hard drive for my M1530 later today or tomorrow. I'm currently running 32-bit Vista Ultimate, but want to upgrade to 64-bit, which I have the Ultimate disk for. I'm going to be using the same license key for the 64-bit, so will I have to uninstall the 32-bit after I image it in order for my 64-bit to be activated?

    No, I don't believe so; just don't go running both the old 32-bit installation and the new 64-bit installation at the same time.

    Oh, ok. That's simple enough. Once 64-bit gets up and running I'm going to put XP Pro 32-bit on the old hard drive.
