HELP disk management problem
I have a toshiba lappy.
It has recovery partitions on the HD as supplied out of the box. I had Ubuntu linux dual boot intstalled for a while using GRUB manager. I decided to delete ubuntu and recocer all the HD space for vista. I reset the vista MBR so that it booted ok. I then tried to use vista disk management to recover the 38Gb ubuntu space. Unfortunately when i tried to delete the partition it said there wasnt enough space to carry out the operation! It looks like this at the moment... http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y82...kcapture-1.jpg How can i recover the 38Gb space so that i have two main sections i.e one for vista and one for data? ta --- avast!
