I've got an IDE 20GB HD, but only 6GB is recognized in Windows (CMOS sees all 20GB). In disk administrator, how can I make the remaining 13GB all on C: instead of having to partion? Do I have to have Unallocated space?

Thanks,
Chris

Is this a new drive that you have just installed? If not, and it's the HD that came with your computer have you tried just defragging it? When I first got my computer it came with a 10GB drive, but only showed up as a 3GB drive. after defragging, it showed up as a 10GB drive like it was supposed to be. It's the simple things sometimes that give us the most grief.
