Am un laptop toshiba l305-s5885, vine preinstalat cu vista si cu o partitie de 1,46GB = "EISA Configuration" Partition.

Pana acuma nu m-a deranjat, dar acuma am nevoie de o partitie primara ca sa ii trag un FreeBSD. pe restu am linux

am dat pe google am citit una alta, cica ar fi de la microsoft cica .... multe chestii

eu vreau sa stiu simplu ... pot sa ii dau delete fara sa pierd nimic din functionalitatea sistemului ? (adica vista o sa mearga tot decent, hardu nu o sa crape etc etc.. linuxu nu o sa se planga iar freebsd - relax )

I wouldn't delete that special partition. It contains the diagnostic tools that you will be asked to run if you contact support and are unable to boot Windows.

deci e importanta sau nu ?

Pai fara aia o sa te cam scremi sa reinstalezi windowsul, si in unele cazuri, depinde de unde l-ai luat, nu ti-l primesc la garantie.

MORE INFORMATION
The EISA partition is usually the first partition on the physical disk. Disk Management shows the EISA partition in the proper position when it resides on a basic disk, allowing you to explore, delete, or reformat the EISA partition.

The EISA partition is protected by Disk Management from being damaged in any way when it resides on a dynamic disk. The EISA partition can be re-created only by using an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) system EISA utility, not by using Windows 2000 Disk Management. Deleting and re-creating any partitions on dynamic disks outside of Windows 2000 could lead to data loss, system startup problems, or an inability to boot.

The incorrectly display of an EISA partition when it resides on a dynamic disk by Disk Management has no effect on the ability to boot from or use the partition if system maintenance is required.

If you want to delete the EISA partition, Microsoft recommends that you back up any existing volumes contained on the dynamic disk, and then use Windows 2000 Setup, the Recovery Console diskpart command, or other third-party disk-partitioning software to delete it. You cannot use Windows 2000 disk Management to delete the partition or revert the drive to a basic disk until all partitions are removed.

deci eu din cate stiu nu am dynamic disk deci ii pot da delete nu ?

cu laptopu toshiba am primit 2 dvd-uri care imi instaleaza vista si toate driverele(are plin de scripturi)

[gheorghe]

Dar te-ai gandit vreodata ca poate scripturile alea iau driverele de pe partitia aia sau se asteapta sa fie prezenta din vreun motiv obscur sau insignifiant, dar totusi sa nu mearga fara ea? Eu zic cel putin sa-i faci backup, sa o poti restaura in caz ca ai nevoie de ea si ideal ar fi sa faci backup si la mbr-ul discului si la mbr-ul partitiei, deci cel mai sigur imagine la hdd. Sau cauta sa stii sigur daca exista vreo modalitate de a restaura aceasta partitie cu vreun disc de la producator.

partitia respectia tot timpul era 100% free...

Sambata i-am dat delete, si am reinstalat vista, ubuntu si freebsd... si totul merge foarte bine.

Concluzia, puteti sa ii dati delete, cele afirmate in postul meu anterior sunt valabile.
