On advice of a colleague, I created a <a href=\"http:\/\/gparted.sourceforge.net\/livecd.php\">GParted Live CD<\/a>.  The first time I booted it, it couldn&#8217;t find the hard drive.  A reboot to BIOS (press F1 at startup) and a switch from AHCI to Compatibility mode (on the menu: Config\/Serial ATA (SATA)\/SATA Controller Mode Option) fixed it.  I tried to find some docs on Lenovo&#8217;s site about this option but came up empty.  A googling found some discussion about driver problems with AHCI and one guy said his disk is faster in compatibility mode!  <\/p>\n<p>I shrunk XP from 59.92 GiB to 16.00 GiB and laid out the rest of the disk thusly:<\/p>\n<table border><\/p>\n<tr>\n<th>Partition<\/th>\n<th>Filesystem<\/th>\n<th>Use<\/th>\n<th>Size (GiB)<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<p><\/p>\n<tr>\n<td>\/dev\/sda1<\/td>\n<td>ntfs<\/td>\n<td>Windows<\/td>\n<td>16<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<p><\/p>\n<tr>\n<td>\/dev\/sda3<\/td>\n<td>ext2<\/td>\n<td>\/boot<\/td>\n<td>4<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<p><\/p>\n<tr>\n<td>\/dev\/sda5<\/td>\n<td>swap<\/td>\n<td>linux<\/td>\n<td>2<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<p><\/p>\n<tr>\n<td>\/dev\/sda6<\/td>\n<td>ext3<\/td>\n<td>FC5 root<\/td>\n<td>14.46<\/tr>\n<p><\/p>\n<tr>\n<td>\/dev\/sda7<\/td>\n<td>ext3<\/td>\n<td>future<\/td>\n<td>14.46<\/tr>\n<p><\/p>\n<tr>\n<td>\/dev\/sda2<\/td>\n<td>fat32<\/td>\n<td>recovery<\/td>\n<td>4.97<\/tr>\n<p><\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I finally replaced my i1472 with a new T60.
