[Thinkpad] Shrinking boot partition on T60

[Aryeh Goretsky (home)]

Hello,

I have used Acronis Disk Director to resize partitions on my ThinkPad T43p
without ill effect.  Earlier today, I used GPartEd to create (but not resize)
partitions on a new hard disk drive inside the T43p and it seemed to work.  I
am planning on CHKDSKing the newly-created disk volumes tomorrow, though,
just to be sure.

Regards,

Aryeh Goretsky
