Hi ppl,

I purchased a sony vaio VGN-FE28H a couple of days back and i wanted to format the installation that came default.. Its coz i ahve german version of the OS!! I am in Germany and left with no choice. I also wanted to install linux along with windows and so when i tried to do it using partition magic, i saw this

pls help me iwth this,

thks,
legolas.

I suspect that the first partition must be some sort of recovery partition. If you are going to reinstall windows and linux then simply delete all the partitions, install windows first, and then linux

Ok, but i would like to wait for some response from some ppl who have/had sony vaio/any other brand laptops to know exactly what it is?
