I use GParted. <http://gparted.sourceforge.net> To recover your T43, see: <http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_recover_the_preloaded_OS> <http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/Rescue_and_Recovery> If you wish to preserve the data on the hard disk, I would advise you to make an IMAGE backup of your hard disk before proceeding. I use Acronis True Image 2011, but there are free versions that should work. If you make a mistake, restore the image and try again. Also, it might be helpful if you would supply the name of the operating system you're trying to recover. -- Jeff Liebermann jeffl@cruzio.com 150 Felker St #D http://www.LearnByDestroying.com Santa Cruz CA 95060 http://802.11junk.com Skype: JeffLiebermann AE6KS 831-336-2558
