This topic is kind of funny. I have 160gb of hard disk and it comes out to 152gb as well. This is perfectly normal. Like it's already been said before it's because of the 1000 to 1024 thing. There is no way to get that space back because it isn't there. That's like converting 2.34 cm to 1 inch and then asking where your 1.34 inches went to?!? LOL

were not talking about that, he has a part that he can still use but was kinda hidden from him

@ripken if i delete the 22gb partition and the 8 MB(not GB) partition will i still be able to create a 30 GB partition?

[ripken204]

u should be able to, u might have to mess around with it a little but u can do it

by the way i pmed u

ok i t worked thanks ripken

i was just wondering for the future

if i wanted to make one drive again(just a C: , thats 152GB) how would i do it?

[ripken204]

well it wouldt be 152gigs, it would be 160

they only way to do it with no folders is to make the boot cd's for partition magic, then run it off of the floppys it will make, then delete everything and then it will all be unparted so u just need to format it

so it all worked? no 8 gigs left over?

[hakeem5454]

ya i have a C: drive with 120GB and a D: drive with 30GB

Your 8Mo avaible partition is due to windows partition manager and can be modified but with another partition manager.
