Hello, i had problems with my Windows and now that i fixed it with a lot of help from LH i noticed another problem. My windows 7 partition says it is a 200GB one (that's how much i gave it when i dual booted it with Vista) and i tried to extend it from "Disk Management" but the option was grayed out. Any ideas?
UPDATE:
On the disk management window it says "264.29 GB unallocated" if that helps

1. A Logical Drive can be extended only within the extended partition that contains it.
2. The System and Boot partitions can be extended only into contiguous unallocated space.

Can't extend it I don't think. Have to re-configure the setup.

I'll qualify the opinion according to permission issues.

Hi
Wouldn't it be better to turn the unallocated space in to a separate drive (Logical Drive) which will come up as another disk drive in "Computer"?. You can put your personal stuff in there and if Windows crashes it's much less likely to be lost. In a disaster you renistall Windows back to C: drive amd the other drives will still be there and your personal data is intact....I'm assuming you have a proper Windows disk and not a Recovery drive which by default usually wipes the whole drive back to factory state, but there are ways round it. Smaller capacity drives are faster as well.
Just a suggestion :)
