recover partion on hard disc
Hi,
Run disk manager (diskmgmt.msc) from the start/search line. Where is this volume located in relation to the system volume? If immediately behind/after it, then simply delete the FAT32 volume and expand the system volume to encompass the free space. If it is anywhere else, then you will need to use a third party drive tool to move/slide the volumes around in order to extend the system volume. -- Best of Luck, Rick Rogers, aka "Nutcase" - Microsoft MVP http://mvp.support.microsoft.com/ Windows help - www.rickrogers.org My thoughts http://rick-mvp.blogspot.com "alexanderd" wrote in message ... i have just uninstalled agnitium true image 10 from my PC and installed norton ghost.

recover partion on hard disc
hi rick thank you for your quick reply. i had already found the disckmgmt.msc
my problem is all fields are greyed out except Disc Volume & Help. it looks like a third party drive tool is my only choice. what would you suggest? -- alexanderd "Rick Rogers" wrote: Hi, Run disk manager (diskmgmt.msc) from the start/search line.

recover partion on hard disc
here is a second reply and to say i am a fool. On the acronis program is a
way to remove what was a " Secure Zone " this is very easy ( just follow a wizard ) and recovers the orriginal space. i now have the full use of my hard disc. thank you once again for your help -- alexanderd "Rick Rogers" wrote: Hi, Run disk manager (diskmgmt.msc) from the start/search line.
