Ok, so i have a 40 Gb western digital HD, and when i log on and go to my computer it shows me that i only have 30 Gb in total, and then i put in my win 2000 cd went to the screen and i noticed there was 10 GB of uninpartioned space? how can i makethat space emerge with my 30 to fully get 40 GB again?

Please help Gurus!Thanks !!!!!
 
Well, the space that is seperate is for system restore. I dont think you want to merge them togother..I think you can turn down the space for the system restore in Computer Prep google it..there is an option such as a slider bar that lets you move the size for the hard drive space that is left out for system restore..And if not that i think you can get Partition Magic and merge the partitions..
 
My 120 gb Hd only shows at 111...The rest is set aside for system restore


But why dont you wait for your gurus to help :) ahhahaha dont take it to seriously
 
If you really want the whole 40gb's turn this slider down
