Hi everyone,

I'm using a 22 inch graphic tablet as a secondary monitor for my HP Elitebook, in extended view, and it works. But I can't really use my stylus. More exactly, the stylus is recognized, but the gap between its tilt and the cursor is so huge that I can't even make a proper calibration ...

Just a thought - wouldn't it be easier (and cheaper) to use a program like Parted Magic to securely erase the current drive? Then a bootable thumb drive can be created and away you go.

I think Parted Magic used to be freeware but the last time I looked it costs only $11.
