Hi Gottfried

Are you sure you are clicking on unallocated hard drive space?

Or are you clicking on a single partitioned hard drive that just has available free space?

Unallocated hard drive space will have the word unallocated on it and there will be no diagonal lines thru it.

Partition Magic ...

Gottfried,

<< I'd like to avoid buying Partition Magic or any partitioning program. Any advice? >>

Buy Partition Magic! <g>

[About a 10 year user through many versions on a bakers dozen desktop and laptop platforms with a standard setup of 6 partitions per platform, resizing them from time to time.]

What is the reason to partition a hard drive these days? I haven't done that since 3 or 4 computers ago.
