About 6 months ago I upgraded the system drive on one of my boxes. I replaced the old 14.5GB drive with a 45GB Maxtor and used Ghost to image the old partition onto the new drive (incorporating the additional space into one big partition).
Today I decided I wanted to partition the drive into several smaller partitions to deal with fragmentation problems, and also for better organization. I installed Partition Magic 8.0 and lo and behold it says that the drive has 2 partitions: a 14.5GB primary, and 28GB of unallocated space! Obviously this is incorrect because Windows reports my C: drive as being 45GB and I have had it filled to near capacity at one time or another. Apparently there is a problem with the partition info. Chkdsk /F does not solve the problem.
I reeeeally do not want to have to format/reinstall Windows at this time. I do not have the time nor the patience, nor do I have a spare drive laying around to back up all this data. Any ideas on how to fix this??
