Or use the drive to bludgeon yourself to death.

Yeah, it looks like you didn't allocate that space the first time around. In the Management Console you can partition it but it'll show up as a separate drive. Are you sure your computer can support drives larger than 128 GB?

Send it to me, I will fix it for $40+S&H.

That or get a hard drive controller that supports drives larger than 128 GB. I looks like a 200 GB hard drive with 60 GB missing.

Eh, do you even need the space?

And it'll only effect internal drives. Is this one internal or external? I forgot to ask. *sob*

Instead of the money-costing partition magic, I recommend that you download this (http://www.sysresccd.org/index.en.php) CD and burn it. It has a utility called QTParted that I believe will re-size the partition for you. Also, it has various other programs that are also useful.

I solved the problem. I went into command prompt, used diskpart.exe to repair it for me but thanks for the program Teh Roxor.

I use a NTFS and the diskpart added the space to be useable drive in about two seconds. BOO-YEAH!
