| 882959 | 2010-05-07 06:41:00 | I have just installed W7 and Office, 16GB used up only . The I tried to insert the figure 400000 but i won't work, it says ~235000 was the max . Could you only do that before instalilng W7? I preferred to have a much smaller partition but 250GB abouts would suffice . . . . :) |

| 882960 | 2010-05-07 09:15:00 | The reason will more than likely be as Sweep said in post 12 - This for Vista, but the same applies to W7 ,there are a Few workarounds (www.howtogeek.com) BUT just be careful, other wise you will damage the system and you may have to start again. I wouldn't be tempted to use gparted, read where it says "Using Linux to Resize" -- if you do, you may have to repair the startup. |
