i just got my new toshiba laptop with a 250 gig hard drive. the drive only shows 231gb though. anyway, i want to partition my hard drive so that i can install XP pro or possibly Linux. i figure 30gigs sounded good. i installed the recovery disk because it has a partition program on it and after i partioned it and restored the OS, it showed my c drive at 200gb but the partition for the other 31 gigs wasnt there. so, i just performed a complete factory restore and i am up for any ideas on how i can get this done without having to recover the dang thing again and have to reinstall everything. Also, any ideas on my last post concerning Memory question is greatly appreciated. i want to know what is best, 2 gigs of ddr2 pc5300 or 3 gigs of ddr4200. i want to get the most out of this expensive thing. it is a satellite A215-S7472. i didnt know if more ram was better than having faster ram. thanks for everything and all you guys input.
