I installed the Linux os an ended up deleting it. Now I have only 14 out of 52 gigs of free space and I have about 15 in unpartioned space, that unpartioned space is supposed to be included on this drive. How do I make it show up on my windows XP

Do you still have any data that you need on that HDD? If not, delete all ur partitions and reformat.

Partition magic might work, but I never trusted those thing’s that move partitions on my hard drive…Don’t know any other way unless you format :|....hopefully someone else has a better suggestion hehe

Most likely has to do with the installation / uninstallation on Linux—Honestly, your best bet would be to format /mbr and start from scratch.

BTW, I gotta move this thread 😉
