Installation instructions for the ThinkPad T43p

Specific installation notes for the ThinkPad T43p.

General Notes

Mine came with Windows XP. I needed to resize the NTFS partition. Did this by the following:

http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm -- Download ISORecorder
http://www.sysresccd.org/ -- download SystemRescueCD and burn onto CD using ISORecorder
F12 during bootup to configure BIOS options to boot from CDROM
Boot from SystemRescueCD
At "boot:" prompt, type fb1024
Select keyboard map, etc, when prompt appears type run_qtparted
Resize ntfs using qtparted- set it from 54GB to 30GB

After doing all this, rebooted into Windows to check everything was OK, which it was. Verified that disk size now says 30GB.
