Need to add size to a partition

M

Mike Busch

I worked on A PC for a friend. He purchased a 160 gig hard
drive, I took and slaved his 40 gig. The recovery disk
that came with the slug PC installs Windows XP Home
edition on a 8 gig partition, leaving the other 120 Gigs
hanging( can only installed 137GB's until I put upgrade
patch 1 on operating system). I had to format it and make
it into a partition, dirve letter G:. is there any way to
add this 120 Gigs to the 8 that this recovery disk made
up. Thanks in advance.
