Quick eee PC 901 question..

Does the standard 20gb hard drive that comes with the Linux version 901 have a partition on it that is actually deletable?

I'm using fdisk at the moment and it shows there being two partitions, 4gb and 15gb, these aren't actually two physical drives are there?

Bit of a noob question I know

If that's the case is there any problems on installing XP on the 4gb drive or is that not advisable for performance etc?

I can only seem to install XP on the 4gb hdd.

When I go through the Windows XP setup and try creating a partition on the 16gb drive it tells me that it's not a valid XP compatitable partition?

Any ideas?

I tried creating a fat32 partition using fdisk but Windows kicks up the same error..

Are you sure it's the 4gb that isn't suitable for XP? As Ive installed XP on the 4gb twice now and have the clean install it takes over 2 minutes to open My Computer, IE, My documents etc, it's ridiculous.

Has anyone encountered any issues like this? Linux ran fine...
