Format the HDD
or
Connect it to your pc (with all security set on High) via lan. and scan it. If you dont want to connect it to lan, or it cant, then connect it's HDD to your pc and scan from there.

thats what i was thinking.... the screen cable doesnt fit!?!
but anyways, if you dont care bout the stuff on your IBM Hard Drive, then Format it with your windows disk, and then put on any OS you want.

Edit:
you can install windows onto the previous version.
when loading it, go through the "enter, F8, enter, blah blah" and when it asks you if you want to format or keep on installing onto previous version, just hir R if you see an option on it.

I think the xp idea might work if the IBM meets the requirments
