I don't know how large the rest of your hd is, but you may want to get a prog called Partition Magic, which has a nice GUI where you move a slider bar to increase the size of your c drive. As I said in a prior post, you probably don't have 1gb of "lost" drive space, you just can't see it. In the future, you may want to consider not partioning the drive at all when installing a new operating system.

I neglected to ask about cylinders, what cylinder is the sector on? Some
people may be computer whizzes (in their minds) but have no idea of the pure mechanics of the hardware. How dare you say "Bunk" when you obviously have not done your homework?
