Hi,

Two options:

a) Run diskmgmt.msc and expand the existing volume. Just right click the
existing one, it will be obvious.

b) Run diskmgmt.msc and create a second volume from the free space. Format
it and use as you please.

You wrote in the other thread:

"ok well like i said im not sure what happend but i tried to create a
250gig partition and it worked even though my whole HD is 700gig and
the comp came with 650 gig free. So i instaleld vista and stuff and
vid card drivers and everything is back up but now ive got 450 free
gig space and i set my bios boot settings to load disc first then HD
is that bad. im GUESSING i can just get partition magic and resize
this partition to 650 gig without losing my os or data right?"
