320394 2005-02-01 07:04:00 I partitioned my hard drive when I was installing Windows XP. I halved it, so there was half on each partition. I said that it was formating the partition. I dont think it partitiond the other half.. Is that what happend, and how do I get the rest of my hard drive back? :badpc:

320395 2005-02-01 07:08:00 If this is XP, go to control panel / admin tools / computer management / disk management... See if the other partition shows there.

If u see an unallocated entry here, (with the amount of the other 1/2 of the hard drive), highlight it and format it. Or select change drive letter and path.

Or both.

The partition is there. I have the formated one there. Then beside that I have the unallocated space. If I right click on it I can click 'New Partition',
'Properties' and 'Help'
It has Disk 0, then the formated one, then beside it the unformated one. Below that is the CD ROM Drive.

Mike, you have to create another partition with that free space before you can format it. So, right click on the unallocated space, choose "New Partition" and away you go. :)
