O.P. Unpartitioned Space Help.
Well I remember once that somewhere in device manager you can check your partitions and your unpartitioned space. But I cant seem to find where it is :S.

Someone help? Thx

Look back at my post thanks for your help.

Edit: actually it might help first let me install sp2 because big hard drivess dont show up unless u dont have it.

Edit: Im still looking for what i ment at first :S. Maybe ill describe it better:

Well at the right it shows you your partitions and your unpartitioned space. There you can make new partitions and you can format your older partition etc.... :/

I think what you are after is Control Panel > Administration Tools > Computer Management.  Then in the area on the left go Storage > Disk Management.

I hope I understood you correctly and that is what you are after.
