    I bought this laptop at Best Buy a couple days ago. I reinstalled Windows XP Media ed. from the recovery CD thinking it would give me an option to partition the hardrive how ever I wanted. Of course this didn't work, so I'm stuck with a 142GB and a 7GB partition. How can I create my own partitions and install Windows to which ever partition I want? :confused:

    You can use Gparted to make new partitions, but you'll need a Windows disc to be able to install it wherever you want.
