I have a T60. The original hard drive wont boot. I get the screen that says windows has encountered and unexpected error and then if i want to start with the last known good configuration and when i hit that it goes back through the windows is starting screen and then back to the last known good configuration screen.
I took the drive out and scanned it with my anti virus, with sophos anti root kit, with spybot, malware bytes and adaware.
Adaware made the good computer that I was scanning it with crash
Is there away I scan the bad drive with a good computer and get whatever is causing it to crash out... short of reformatting the drive and starting over?

Have you done a "chkdsk x: /r" yet ?

I didn't know that trick... thanks

look in the bios and make sure the drive is set to compatibility mode instead of ahci.
