Disk management missing drive space

[edwcarney]

I have upgraded two HP Vectra VL600's from WinNT 4.0 to Win2K Pro. One of them went very smoothly and all my partitions showed up. The second kept giving me a "Inaccessible_boot_device" error until I removed a large NTFS partition on my 30GB Seagate. The upgrade went smoothly at last, but, now, Disk Management shows only 3.8GB additional left on the drive instead of the 24GB+ it should have. I've tried a number of things with FDISK (under Win 98 boot from floppy; FDISK sees the whole disk) but nothing works that will show up in Win2K Pro.

Any ideas? Is there a registry item that might be editable for this?

Thanks much all.

IF I am not mistaken, I belive that Partition Magic 5 will run on an NT based system, because I Remeber using it on Win2k, PQMagic, which I have used numerous times , can resize, move, convert, repair, etc partitions, without damaging them(of course the older versions had their flaws, and some novices hit wrong buttons, etc) but that would be one way to resize is using Partition Magic 5.

Just remember - Partition Magic will not, nor has any plans last I heard, to support Dynamic Drives......
