HP puts a fat32 partition at the first of the disk with a component of the mbr(vital) next to the ntfs(xp) partition, I have never understood this, except that it is something to do with recovery(its title) or reformat. i remember reading about this in reference to the mbr, and how its the way it must be, but in all the articles about "installing xp" I have read, this has not been mentioned, so i dunno if its just the "HP way" or what, I do know its the only configuration I found successful for to clone(which by the way the cloned fat 32 partition is doing it too, now!)... I had been using recovery console , prior to these symptoms,( dual booting related) very carefully, of course, but I could really use a word of advice from someone on this. I am able to resize the partition/s, or of course diable balloon tips, but this is no solution in my view. HELP
thanks
