Any IBM Experts.....

["James,Daniel" <Daniel.James@xxxxxxx>]

Hi all

We have a new arrival in our house today  - a new laptop........
:-)

I was supprise however that we didn't get any recovery media with it. 
(it
came  from Insight, and came with XP Professional on a pre install) -
Is
this now normal? - In the old days IBM used to give a recovery CD with
their
machines.

The other odd thing, is that the laptop has an unknown 1GB partition
called
IBM_Service, which cannot be accessed, I presume contains all the
install
data? - any ideas how I get access to this to see what it contains?

I am keen to make a drive backup before I install anything on it, but
cannot
see how I can get to this hidden partition

Does anyone have any ideas?

Many thanks

Daniel
