Create a New Partition for Some Unallocated Space - Need Help
Hi, I installed Windows Vista Home Premium on my Dell Inspiron successfully
on a partition (C:, 50GB) and I still have another 50GB unallocated space. I am wondering how I can create a new partition in Vista to use the allocated space. When I tried to use the Installation DVD to create the new partition, I got the following message: "Windows Cannot be installed to this hard disk space. The selected disk has the maximum number of partitions of this type." If anyone can shed some light on this, I would appreciate it very much. Thanks a lot, Jake |

Thanks , Mike. When I tried with Disk Management, it complained for
insufficient space. Can you advise..? "Mike Brannigan" wrote: "Jake Lee" wrote in message ...

Jake, did you click to select the unallocated space?
It may be it was looking at the C: drive. -- Jerry One thing money can't buy, The wagging tail of a dog. "Jake Lee" wrote in message ... Thanks , Mike.

Does your hard drive have four partitions already? If so, you cannot use Windows built-in disk management tool to create new partition with the unallocated space. The only solution is to use third party partition software like AOMEI Partition Assistant. http://www.disk-partition.com/
