[ltp] IBM Recovery CDs, partitions

[Michael Kaiser]

Hi!

I bought a R52 last week. As I intend to have WXPP and Linux on this
laptop, I decided to play around with some Linux live CDs.
Unfortunately, I damaged the partition table and thje pre desktop area
got lost. I ordered the recovery CDs yesterday, but they told me, it
might take up to 9 day. :-( I don't want to wait that long, so I plan
to do a "clean" partitioning beforehand and install Linux. Does this
makes sense? Or will the recovery CDs wipe the harddrive again and my
Linux will get lost?

Any help appreciated.

Thanks,

-m.
