OK heres the scoop
IBM T30 hard drive
IBM_Preload : OEM XP installation
Local Disk : My XP installation
IBM_SERVICE : IBM's Recovery Partition ( which i cant access anymore since i added the second XP partition )
Then:
3 Partitions I setup for use of Ubuntu
Initially I wanted to have an XP / Ubuntu duality but the XP setup disk killed any chance of Ubuntu coming back, I have since elected to stay
with MS OSs for the time being.
This 40 GB HD is mounted in an external USB enclosure connected to my PC, I can see the 3 NTFS partitions, and obviously none of the Linux ones.
I want to wipe out the entire thing from my PC, put it back in my laptop and start a fresh XP SP2 install.
Any help advice would be appreciated.
