Partioning External Hard Drive using Vista
Hi,
I just got a new computer with Vista on it. I am trying to make a partition bigger in my External Hard Drive, (when I first got it, I didn't think out drive size very well at all). I have gone through the Computer Manager, and when I try to use the unallocated space to Extend the drive I want to, I first get a message that says the operation I selected will convert the selected basic disk to dynamic disks. I click YES that I want to continue and then I get an error message that says: The attempted operation is invalid. Either the parameters specified are invalid or the operation cannot be completed on the selected object. Can anyone PLEASE help me extend my partition on my External Drive. Thanks! |

yoohoo422,
Take a look at this site to decide whether you're missing something: http://www.pro-networks.org/forum/viewstory.php?t=78111 Who knows, it could be something very simple. Just something to try. Let us know how this turns out. -- freddy "yoohoo422" wrote: Hi, I just got a new computer with Vista on it.
