29 Gytes not allocated on C: drive
I dont know where I went wrong, but heres the story, I formatted my hard drive following a virus crash. and reinstalled XP and all has gone fairly well but when sorting out another problem in disk management I find that 29 Gig of my 60 gig hard drive is not allocated.
so where do I go from here. I right click on the drive icon in disk managment window and it gives the option for "new partition" and the partition wizard window opens asking me what partition do I want to create Primary or Extended. Well thats as far as I went and backed out. I know I dont want to create another primary partition and if I select to create extended partition will it create it without wiping out XP. I dont want to go to the trouble of starting from scratch again if I can help it.I need help desperately on this one guys. Everything is working just fine up to now but I've only got half of my hard drive useable.
