    I just purchased a Thinkpad T61 and I plan to do a clean install of Vista, so of course the HD will be reformatted. I had Lenovo preinstall Microsoft OneNote 2007 onto my laptop. Is there anyway to reinstall OneNote and reactivate it after the clean install? I don't even know where I would get the OneNote installer since it was already installed on my hard drive and I don't have the OneNote disk.

    Doesn't OneNote require activation like Windows Vista's activation? If so, is there any way to avoid going through the reactivation process with a program similar to Orev's Activation Backup and Restore (ABR)?

    As for acquiring the actual software after the contents of my HD are reformatted, do you guys think I can use Microsoft's 60-day trial of OneNote with the OEM key that Lenovo will likely have used and turn it in to a fully activated version?
