I’m upgrading my 80 gig hard drive to a 160 gig Western Digital drive. I used WD’s included tools to copy from the 80G to the 160G. During the copy, I remember seeing some kind of message about it enabling large drive support (or some similar message). When it finished copying, the drive showed up as a 160G drive in My Computer, and the partitions were proportional to how the 80G was set up.
There was a problem with System Restore (it would bomb when I’d try to open it), so I copied the drives again. This time, there was a problem with the Recycle Bin. After two bad attempts, I decided to copy again, this time using Norton Ghost. The copy appears good, but my C & D partitions only add up to 128.0 , and there’s 21.05 unallocated. All this adds up to 149.05G. In the Bios, the drive shows as 136G.
How can I reclaim the 21G of unallocated space? I want to split it up between the two partitions.
FYI, I’m running XP Home, and the drive(s) are NTFS.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
