[H] Sony ?

2007-12-26 Thread FORC5
Weird, got a Sony notebook in for service, full drive. I free'ed up 1gb on the boot partition but further investigation shows TWO partitions on what looks like a 20gb drive with a 7,5gb FAT32 boot partition and the rest NTFS WTF. Hesitate to merge these partitions. Curious why Sony did this.
