R60 tft refresh rate and how to a new partition ...

[mnezor]

hello to everybody in the community... !!!

Now couple of questions

This is my new Thinkpad ... http://www5.pc.ibm.com/europe/products. ... p/_UL154XX

Is it normal that the monitor cant get higher than 60 Hz refresh rate?
Actually is the only option ''the 60 Hz" refresh rate

Also I want to create a new partition without deleting the presents partitions the H.D already have.
The only way I know is with the program ''Partition Magic'' but I have bad memmories with that program...
Is there another safer way?

Thanks in advace... take care

Yes, LCDs don't really refresh, so it doesn't matter.

I don't think you can call resizing partitions ever safe, you should always have a backup.
I personally always use gparted which I run from xubuntu live cd, but you can also just get the live cd of gparted.
I have resized, added and removed partition several times and my thinkpad still has the original windows install working.
One important thing is that when you resize your windows partition you need to reboot into windows before adding or resizing other partitions. Windows likely will then do a disk check (as it did change) and boot as normal.
