Hi,

This bit of software allows you a trial version to re-partition your disks. If it doesn't work then download.com will have some other partitioning software available.

The free Knoppix Live CD v3.9 or later contains QTParted, a partitioning application that has the ability to dynamically resize partitions. There is a risk of data loss (as there always is with this type of operation) however I've used it successfully on several different machines without any loss of data.

I had a problem like that when I installed my 300gb hardrive. What I did was install xp the regular way then used the mmc snap in for your hard drive and partioned it before I installed any software.

XP doesn't generally recognise disks larger than about 200gb without adding an entry into the registry.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\atapi\Parameters]
EnableBigLba=DWORD:1

by adding this in you are adding in support for 48-bit LBA which is required for larger capacity IDE\ATA disks.

As for resizing partitions then there are a couple of programs out there.

Partition Magic by Symantec is about the most common out there and can be used to create a bootable floppy to do the job for you.

I would suggest that in the future you use the XP cd to create the partitions you want.

This thread might be worth a read, it also might show you how to recover GB's of space without resizing any partitions.

For resizing software this is free to try and well worth a look. Remember to back up anything valuable before working on partitions.
