    I don't quite understand your question - are you asking how to make a partition or how to install a VGA card? You can't upgrade your VGA card (or at least not easily - it'll require lots of soldering and disassembling) it's way to difficult, unless you're a professional solderer.

    thanks for xAMDvsINTELx response, and Sorry for confusing.
    the point of my question is :
    - I need to make partition on my HDD using Powerquest Partitionmagic 8.0, but it cannot work. I thought the HDD in my M45 not able to split in 2 partition.
    - My M45 use Video Mobile Intel(R) 915GM/GMS 910GML Express, without GPU. is it possible to up grade or change with Nvidia card or add the GPU that compatible with my M45.
    Thank for your favorable response, and sorry if I using a bad English in this forum.

    :eek:

    I'm not too good with explaining stuff (especially on the partitioning - I don't really know how to do this that well myself). Try posting in the "Hardware" section for a better response. However, I'm sorry to inform you that you will not be able to install a new GPU into your notebook without extensive soldering and cost to yourself. The Intel GMA 900 is plastered onto the MOBO and is impossible to remove, so adding another GPU would also conflict with the BIOS and normal operation of your notebook.
