According to Toshiba tech support, current MS license for WinXP on my new
Toshiba notebook requires the reinstall CD to wipe the partition table when
restoring the system effectively killing a dual boot (Linux) system.
Me: Why is this?
Tech support: "Microsoft is concerned about supporting systems with
modified partition tables (Microsoft doesn't support OEM customers).
Me: How do I get around the problem?
Tech support: "Buy a real copy of WinXP."
Cheers,
Mike
