Subject: Re: [Thinkpad] Partition during re-image using Lenovo restore disks
Install as-is from the recovery image disks. Once installed, use nLite to
create an XP install disk. NLite has the option to Slipstream drivers into
windows, so when you reinstall, all the hardware will be supported out of
the box.

Well, got the new T500 with XP Pro in the other day. Deleted all the

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
