Disk Management HD Partitioning.

A

ADAM

A client of mine has a 160GB HD that has a 137GB
partition. Can I use Disk Management to partition the
other 23 megs into a seperate partition? The computer is
all set up and running on the 137GB partition.
I have never used Disk Management for partitioning so
I'm not sure how to verbally walk him through it. Will
this work if I tell him to go into Disk Management, Rclick
the unpartitioned space and go to Partition and format. Is
that all he needs to do?

If SP3 or later is installed, EnableBigLba is set in the registry and the
system BIOS supports drives over 137GB, yes, he can use Disk Management to
create and format a partition in that area. Also, see this MS Knowledge
