Re: [Thinkpad] Norton Ghost 9

Found some info that might help.

//Go into the BIOS settings to set the HPA to "Disable". There are 3 options
there - Secure, Normal & Disable. Save settings and go to Windows. From
windows, fire-up Partition Magic. You should be able to see the "unused
space". //

the web suggest that the "hiding" of the partition is done at a very low
level on the disk, just so that no standard tool can erase it (to keep the
user from destoying it). With all tools I've tried the disk simply seems to
be smaller than its 60G size, because of the predesktop area.
