T30 2366 not recovering from original recovery disk
posted by leeb08 on May 06, 2008
Greetings!
After failed to recover from the recovery disk, I managed to fdisk into
2 partitions, 2gb and 50+gb. For some reason, it won't allow me to
make it bigger than 2gb. Anyway, I can't seem to be able to load OS,
WIN2K into the 2gb partition, the other 50 gb still has my data and i
don't want to erase them.
2 questions. Question 1, how can i enlarge the 2gb partition?
Question 2, how can i load the OS to make it bootable when i turn on
the T30? Thank you.

ApprenticeThe 2 gig partition is probably your recovery partition that allows you to restore your computer from the hard drive instead of the Operating System discs that came with the unit. You don't really want to mess with your partitions (you may accidently delete all your data). I'd recommend using Acronis True Image and backing your data to an external hard drive first, you can copy individual folders or the entire hard drive. Then you can just destructive restore your entire hard drive back to factory settings.
