    So I just got my brand new a8jr yesterday, and it's great. Not much bloatware, pretty fast, not as thin & lite as I expected, lcd is hard to see unless it's angled perfectly at your face, speakers blow, bad battery life, no docking capabilities, but other than that, it's great for the price and I'm happy with the purchase.

    Anyway, I noticed that it comes with Vista Home, and there are 3 partitions on the 120 gb hdd: one recovery partition, one main one (C :) that's 64gb and then another one that's 40gb. I deleted the last partition and tried extend the 64gb partition to take up the entire space, but it doesn't work. It's grayed out where I can't extend it. Does anyone else have this issue and what can I do about it? I installed PartitionMagic but it doesn't work with Vista either.
