I partitioned the hard disk on my laptop using DOS FDISK. I created a FAT32 partition about 6GB and formatted it. The remainder of the disk was left unpartitioned.
I popped in the Toshiba recovery disk and expected it to load into the small partition I created. Instead, the dang thing re-partitioned and re-formatted the disk into an NTFS partition and ran the Symantec Ghost restore program. I think I am stuck with having to buy Partition Magic so I can reduce the NTFS partition so I can load GNU/Linux. The NTFS partition is not well handled by non-Partition Magic re-partitioners. The recovery disk is not a real XP installer so I don't have options for re-installing. Am I missing something? -- Mike Mueller 324881 (08/20/2003) Make clockwise circles with your right foot.
