    Hey all,

    So I just received my HP 3105m and I would be satisfied, except for the nearly empty 4.? GB HP Tools partition and apparent lack of a Minimized Image Recovery option for this bloatware.

    A) Is the HP Tools partition necessary? It's an odd wedge of HD space that's apparently going to no use.

    B) Does the HP 3105m have a Minimized Image Recovery/Minimizd System Image option with the pre-configured HP Recovery Manager? If so, how do I access it? F11 before windows accesses the HP Recovery Manager (11 of 12.8 GB), but only with the option to restore the system to the original factory setting. Typing HP recovery manager in "Run" yields nothing. I've tried using the original Manager and updating the Manager, but no dice

    Bah, this is annoying. Thanks for the input!
