NTFS? (Windows NT File System). - You say "i can add partitions to it". Why don't you? |

However, unless you were planning on using something like Partition Magic, you're going to lose the data anyway as the Windows diskpart and disk management tools do not support after-the-fact alterations of partition sizes. Right Click on My Computer, click on Manage. Under Storage, click on Disk Management. Delete each listed volume. Then right-click on the disk and choose Convert to Basic Disk. Now you can create whatever partitions you need and format each of them appropriately. HTH -pk |
