I don't follow Alan. The HP recovery disk boots and asks somethng like 'Do you want to restore the disk to the way it was shipped from HP?" Answer no and it does nothing. Answer yes and if blows away all partitions, builds two new partitions, and puts the HP image on the disk. I don't follow what you mean? - Mark -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
