IBM_Thinkpad_G41

Some time ago, I purchased, and still use, an IBM ThinkPad G41 as a secondary laptop.

It was replaced by a Dell Inspiron 6400 as my primary laptop due to the poor display resolution in the model I had (1024x768 only).

In addition to running Gentoo, I have to run Windows Server 2003 for work on this system. This document assumes that you already have Windows installed, and in my case, Windows uses partitions 1 and 2.
