    Replaced hard drive on Aspire 5100 with new one from Best Buy. The recovery goes very slow but finally goes until I get a disk error. I am using recovery disks I made fortunately just a couple weeks ago before the computer died. The new hard drive is not partitioned. This I understand is maybe the problem How do I partition it and to what sizes?
