*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 59620 *** "Predesktop Area is the name used for two different technologies: Hidden Protected Area and Rescue and Recovery." http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/PreDesktop_Area
Seems to be an HPA situation. Which basically, is an hidden by BIOS primary partition at the end of HD, made to help restore the "other" OS. HPA is somehow, the previous technology before Rescue and Recovery which is just a plain partition not hidden by BIOS. More info on HPA, and pre-HPA technology in IBM whitepaper: http://www-3.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/MIGR-46023.html -- broken partition layout with Thinkpad predesktop area https://launchpad.net/bugs/14330 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
