More Information

I want to do a ghost 2003 backup of my laptop drive to upgrade to a faster and bigger hard drive. Ghost says it cannot run because:
"Unable to find free MBR slot in the Virtual Partition DLL. This is usually du to no free primary partition slots left on the boot disk"

In disk Manager I see four partitions:

FAT 47MB with 29MB free
FAT32 3.12 GB with 504mb free
NTFS (C:) 143.88GB
FAT32 Media Direct 2.00 GB 350MB free

Which of the first two partirions can I delete assuming that I do not wish to ever use the Dell recovery process. I'll always use the Ghost backup and recovery toolset.

TIA for any help.
