    Hi all,

    I've been the process of doing the clean install and am in the process of deleting the recovery partition on my T400. I followed Hypertrophy's instructions found here, http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?p=2367169#post2367169/. But, after selecting the recovery partition, when I type in "delete partition override" and press enter, I get an error message saying: "The selected partition may be necessary to the operation of your computer, and may not be deleted." And the partition is still listed, so it hasn't been deleted. Also, I'm listed as an administrator under the user settings, so I assume I have the authority to delete the partition. Any help?

    Thanks.
