I've found my way into the disk manager. It reads as follows:
1st - 47MB - Healthy - EISA Configuration (system area, I'm guessing?)
2nd - 14.65GB - Unallocated
3rd - C - 218.13 GB NTFS (approx 200 GB free)
I'm wanting to absorb the unallocated area into my main C drive, but I think
it's giving me problems since that space is BEFORE the formatted drive. Is
that correct? If so here is my plan of attack, as ugly as it is:
Shrink C by 30 GB
Rename C to D
Format newly "extra" space as E
Move all my files onto the new E
Format original unallocated space as C
Delete D & E, which will now be AFTER C
Expand new C to absorb D&E's now-unallocated space
That sure sounds like a royal pain-in-the-you-know-what. 2 questions.
1 - Will it work?
2 - Is there an easier way to skin the cat?
