John, I just got a new HP laptop and it had 4 partitions used for
Windoze 7 leaving none for me to put Linux on. So I wrote to HP support
to see what they all were, and a nice fellow at HP said they comprised a
main, boot, recovery and  "tools" for flashing the bios without using
windows. So which one can I delete? He says to use the recovery
partition, after making backup DVD's (5 of 'em!), since if you move
partitions the recovery partition will get all screwed up anyhow and you
won't be able to use it. "But I can't help you with Linux..." ...that's
OK, thanks!  So I deleted the recovery, made a logical partition of it,
and now have 3 distros running happily (Bodhi, Mint XFCE and Ubuntu
10.10).  Oh yeah, and Win7.
