Hello,
I am the owner of a R40, and currently I have two partitions on it:
18Gig for Windows XP and 17Gig for GNU/Linux.
I used the ntfs resize tools to resize the ntfs file system when I got
the laptop. I couldn't make it any smaller because Windows had put
some files on the 17Gig border.
Now I want to make the Windows partition much smaller. E.g. 3Gig.
Can I first remove the ntfs partition, make a vfat partition of 3Gig
and use the recovery feature?
Will the recovery feature leave my other partitions alone and will it
install on the 3Gig partition?
I do not know how this recovery works...
Thank you in advance,
Rudy Gevaert
