Absent the ability to update the BIOS to one that does not have this
issue,
I guess that could be. This is a much older TP model, no ? How big is
the
H/D ?

I have always used Partition Magic (preferably no version older than 6.0)
for
doing this. If you're going to have any W2K or XP on this laptop, and
esp.
any NTFS partitions, you should use a PM of more recent vintage.

The caveat is that partition sizes / locations should be manipulated with
this
tool *before* eCS ever goes on, or you can have some bad problems.
Different
problems than you've been seeing, but you don't want to go there either.

DFSee can do this stuff now too -- much of it anyway -- but not via the
sort of
easy GUI that makes these operations accessible even to novices.
