Disk management query

I have spotted an unallocated partition in Disk Management. Is this a problem? How do I get rid of it if necessary?

That's a lot of wasted space you can use...slightly bigger than your System partition. Just Right click on it and create a new simple volume. Select default size (maximum), Format to NTFS, Give it whatever volume label you want, select default allocation unit size, and select quick format. That's it..done. It'll create a new Primary Partition to use as you wish

Thanks for info Sportsfan. I have done what you suggested (i set the drive letter to e) and get the message .....There is not enough space on the disk to complete this operation.

Now sorted. Someone pointed me in the right direction.

OK mate. Glad you're sorted

I recommend using MiniTool Partition Wizard to manage partitions. It's easy to use and you can peruse the contents of hidden partitions.
