    Just got my 640m and when i checked my disk management it showed 3 partitions on my HDD:

    39MB FAT (EISA Configuration)
    88.09GB NTFS (System)
    3.62GB FAT32 (Unknown Partition)

    My questions are: What's the Unknown Partition for? Can I delete this partition within the disk management without putting my System partition in jeopardy? If ever i do delete it, will the file system change to NTFS just as the System partition?
