Open up disk manager and make sure there is no unallocated space on the drive.

Re: Another Maxtor Hardrive Problem!!!!

You can either back up your stuff, delete the current partition, then re-partition.

or

You can just add another partition and have 2 partitions, one 24GB and one 126GB

or

You can get something like Partition Magic and just resize the original partition to include the unallocated space.

Re: Another Maxtor Hardrive Problem!!!!

downlading partiton magic now

Re: Another Maxtor Hardrive Problem!!!!

ive changed the partiton into free space

it now offers do delete the partition but all imformation on this volume will be lost

does it mean that all the data will be lost on the my 126gb partiton or the 26gb partiton

Re: Another Maxtor Hardrive Problem!!!!

Just right click on the active partition in PM, then click Move/Resize. Than you can ajust it to take up the remaining space, Assuming that you didn't partition the 26GB and it's still unallocated.
