| 712996 | 2008-10-18 00:26:00 | Got into more strife trying to create more drives using Partition Manager and Vista. Have created 4 logical drives and 1 Extended Partition which has another 2 logical drives. But there is also an unallocaated drive of 109Gb (out of 500) which I cannot do anything with. Both PM and Disk Manager can see the partition but neither allow me to do anything with it. It's not showing as formatted, I can't merge it into any of the other drives. Nothing !! Help required (and appreciated) please. |

| 712999 | 2008-10-18 01:33:00 | The "Unallocated Disk" is shown as FAT 16 but there is no way I can get to it to reformat it to NTFS as the others are | bugalugs67 (9647) | ||
| 713000 | 2008-10-18 03:02:00 | Have you tried doing it with gparted either standalone or from a live linux cd? Might do the trick or it might not, never used partition manager before so don't know how good or bad it is. | gary67 (56) | ||
