G'day all,

I've just inherited a Dell Dimension 8300. It has a single 120Gb SATA
drive, and I'd like to repartition with a view to dual-booting. It's 
got
an OEM partition on the first 31 Mb of the drive.

When I try to boot with the System Rescue CD (to use NTFSresize), I 
get an error message "hda: host proected area => 1" and the boot 
hangs. I'm assuming that this refers to the OEM partition - is this 
right? How do I get the bootloader to ignore this partition?

Regards,
Edwin Humphries
