Subject: [Thinkpad] Partition during re-image using Lenovo restore disks

Well, got the new T500 with XP Pro in the other day. Deleted all the
unnecessary junk (ie Trial version of MSO 2007).

 

Set out to partition the hard drive (as many, many times in the past, using
Power Quest Partition Magic 8.0 for XP).  And PM or something corrupted the
boot record "error: NTLDR is missing"

 

Lenovo support says the HDD must be re-imaged and they are sending out the
"restore" or "recovery" disks.

 

Question is... is there a point during this restore process where I can
specify my desired partitioning?  Lenovo says no, he didn't think so.
Anyone know different?  I'm afraid to try Partition Magic again, hate to buy
another product I may only use once/twice.

 

 

Thanks in advance,

David
