I have bought a brand new HP Pro 3330 Microtower model recently. I had ordered it with 500GB hard disk and it had come with Windows 8 Pro OS. OS was installed in the C drive having all the space (465GB) available. I would like to have another disk as I don't want to save my data in the same...

I added an SSD to my PC yesterday and have managed to get windows installed on it. As I didn't remove my old HDD with windows on it before there was a little messing around to get windows installed on the SSD and I've somehow managed to end up with the 100Mb of unallocated space that would be...

So, I have Unallocated space at the very end of my hard drive, even after the 25gb Recovery Partition, this is due to copying my old hard drive onto this new one via Clonezilla, and it automatically keeping the unallocated space at the end. Can I either move the unallocated space around the...

I've spent several hours now researching the problem I have with my new build and haven't found anyone with quite the same issue. I think I know a solution but find it hard to believe it is the only way. Basically, I have just built a new Ivy Bridge PC with OCZ Vertex 4 SSD. I did a clean...

In my Sister's laptop, running Windows 7 Ultimate x86, all of a sudden, while she was working on the computer, the "E drive" went missing which was a partition on the hard disk (I don't remember if it was a logical or primary partition). She tried restarting the system but to no avail. So, I...

Here is my problem. Got a Dell M5150 laptop, and all seemed well. Until I had to install a large auto cad program, and it told me I didn't have enough space. Seems whoever installed it thought a little 60 GB OS drive would be best. So I looked into it, and figured I'd expand C: to remedy...

Hi, I just partitioned my external 3.0Tb hard drive using the device manager in Win 7. At first I had one partition of around 2.8Tb, I shrunk the existing partition to around 1.9Tb and then Windows created 3 partitions instead of 2. I ended up with 1 partition of 1.9Tb, 1 partition unallocated...

Installed Windows 7 clean after a botched Ubuntu install. Wiped everything but there's still 15GB of unallocated space that I think is from an old recovery partition that I cannot associate with the 240GB (Primary partition) free space. How can I get rid of this extra 15GB? Edit: Cannot do this...
