    My friend having a toshiba laptop an old series satelite M 200.The laptop spec is Core duo 2.0Ghz and 1GB ram , GMA 950 with pre installed Vista basic.

    I am confuse on which partition to remove.It had 3 Primary partition , and 1 extended
    1.Eisa partition (primary)
    2.C drive window vista preinstall (primary)
    3.Recovery partition (extended)
    4.4GB free space (primary)

    I remember last time there are problems on install a new OS , it need to stream slip a program to detect sata drive.Do I need to do this to install on the laptop ?

    How do I manage the partition ? I am able to help my friend to backup the vista recovery partition ? or possible just to install directly on C drive ?

    Thank you
