As a followup I thought I'd also post the output of fdisk -l /dev/hda=20
with the BIOS predesktop setting "disabled":

Disk /dev/hda: 60.0 GB, 60011642880 bytes
240 heads, 63 sectors/track, 7752 cylinders
Units =3D cylinders of 15120 * 512 =3D 7741440 bytes

   Device Boot      Start         End      Blocks   Id  System
/dev/hda1               1        1939    14658808+   c  W95 FAT32 (LBA)
/dev/hda2   *        1940        1953      105840   83  Linux
/dev/hda3            1954        2044      687960   82  Linux swap / Sol
/dev/hda4            2045        7275    39546360   83  Linux

No predesktop partition as you can see. It's noteworthy that there never=20
was a predesktop partition visible in fdisk, not from the very=20
beginning when I got the laptop. I wiped the whole disk the first time,=20
removing Windows XP and the partitioning scheme and set it up as seen=20
above. The predesktop area always worked fine in this setup.

Is that a peculiarity of just my laptop or all T41ps?
