bizzybody Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 I have a 32 gig (29 gig FAT32 formatted) thumb drive that I discovered has 145 meg of unallocated space at its beginning. (Found it while deleting a PQSERVICE partition from a hard drive.)I'd like to delete the existing partition and create a new one that uses all the space, but Disk Management in XP won't delete it nor will it create a new partition in the unallocated space.Doesn't matter that it's 145 meg, it's space I paid for and while small compared to the rest of the storage, 145 meg can still hold a lot of files.

allen2 Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Did, you tried with diskpart ?Also, perhaps, you'll need to remove the existing partitions (be sure to make backups of the data stored there) and recreate a new partition scheme after a clean (it will wipe all from the select drive so be careful) from diskpart.

bizzybody Posted August 26, 2013 Author Share Posted August 26, 2013 I used the HP USB formatter. It completely wiped the drive and used all the space available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
