If you use Windows, it'll add a new partition, probably or E:. With partition mgk, you can extend the old one out to fill the whole space. It depends on what you perfer.

Yes, you looked at the second half, I looked at the first half.

Many of us suggested that he uses Parition Magic or similar parition tool to resize the current partition thus adding the free space to the existing partition.

yeah either is acceptable but the first thign mentioned is usually what you'd much rather have.... so thus the suggestion for partition magic..... in this case here suggestions were given for both sides of the ":or" (i think that makes sense?)

anyways i highly recmend partition magic.... works good to fill out the entire space, i've also created a partition in the un partitioned space as tomchu suggested, 2000 was on a 2gb partition like in the situation NitricAcid666 described.... anways either way is good.... but since most programs are gonna install to "C:\program files" (yeah i know you can change that) i'd perfer to have the C: partition for the entire drive....

NitricAcid666 both are good suggestions, just depends on if you want the whole drive or just a second partition
