I posted a question earlier this week regarding how my hard drive appeared to
"shrink" after 2 re-installs of Windows XP. In the response I got, I was
asked to find out what was listed under Control Panel-->Administrative
Tools-->Computer Management-->Disk Management. The graphic view showed the
following information:
Disk 0
Basic
38.28 GB
Online
____________
Presario_RP (D
4.88 GB NTFS
Healthy
_____________
C:
13.68 GB NTFS
Healthy (System)
______________
19.73 GB
Unallocated
_______________
My question is how do I "allocate" the unallocated space? When I
right-clicked on it, it gave me the option to make it a new partition, but I
don't want to make a new partition. I want the 19.73 GB to be added to my C
drive. But how do I do it? *Can* I do it?
If it helps to know this, D drive is completely empty. All data is stored
on C drive, which currently has 9.40 GB of free space.
Please advise... I'm hesitant to install any additional hardware/software
until I've gotten this straightened out, just on the off chance that I may
end up having to re-install XP again. Any help will be greatly appreciated!
