...reinstall the OS that came with it (you may have to download an OEM version of the install media, this is NOT pirating as you legitimately hold a license key which is what Microsoft actually charges money for, a RETAIL dvd might work with an OEM key but I have not tried this with newer version of Windows)
I wiped out my laptop because of all the junk HP puts on them when they ship them, and I used a retail Windows 7 DVD and entered the license key on the bottom of the lap top, and it works perfectly fine. I use the same DVD and a separate license key I got when I PURCHASED the DVD for my desktop
I had a thinkpad I bought off ebay once, t22 that had a cpu from a t23 in it and was nothing but trouble because the bios would only accept one of the three cpus used with the t22. I could use the machine for anywhere between 5 minutes and 2 hours before a blue-screen or kernel panic depending on OS. Ended up offloading it.
OP, if you feel comfortable really digging in and trying to get this to work with Windows 7, you could give this a shot
