Topic: Thinkpad T43 partition question

I fired up the latest version of GParted in my Thinkpad T43 and noticed that there was an additional unallocated partition that showed up along with the expected 2 partitions that I already knew about. The unallocated partition was 8.5 GiB in size, could this be the hidden partition for IBM's Rescue and Recovery or should that hidden partition even show up in GParted?

I'm not super familliar with the Thinkpads, but did find this article:

Just trying to figure out if this space can be reclaimed or not.
Thanks.

Re: Thinkpad T43 partition question

unallocated space is not a partition, but unpartitioned space..
It's empty space wherein you can create partitions.
