Any tips/experiences appreciated. Hi Dirk,
... did HP supply that system with a "recovery partition"... in other words, is HP shipping that machine with a bootable option to restore the entire system to "ship" defaults by installing from the recovery partition? If so, there is a technique (I have used it several times with HP machines) for repartitioning the drive, installing Suse, and then "recovering" the original from the recovery partition. Now for the caveat... I have only done this several times with XP... M$ may have different rules (behaviors) for the vista preloads. On the other hand (and a positive note) HP is probably trying to maintain some consistency with their product line and the HP vista preloads probably work just like the XP preloads did. -- Kind regards, M Harris <>< -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
