Hi all,

I am installing OS 2008.05 onto a lenovo laptop with 70 GB of HD space. 
Originally I have NTFS (10 GB), Solaris (20 GB), and FAT32 (40GB). After 
installing OS 2008.05 I found that I need more space, so I went back to 
Windows and deleted Solaris (20 GB) and FAT32 (40 GB), then create an 
empty partition of 60 GB for OS 2008.05.  The installation program did 
pickup the 60 GB participation and installed OS 2008.05 onto it without 
any complain. However, after I boot into the system it has only 20 GB of 
disk space -- the additional 40 GB was gone!

Actually this happened to several machines in our team. It is a 
reproducible bug! You install OS 2008.05 once, and it remembers how big 
your partition was, and continues to use that size even though it has 
been changed!

Solutions?
