Disk Partition

Well, I solved my problem by restoring my computer.

I have a problem though with my hard drive, which is one 120GB drive. It allotted 4GB to C:/ and 116GB to E:/

I do not know how to re-partition my hard drive and I can't find any free software in which to do it with. Suggestions?

you can probably use a free trial of partion magic

I actually downloaded the free trial, but it only lets you mess around with it's features. It never actually lets you execute a partition.

Porterwake, unless you have a way to ghost what you just did, or can get your hands on a full version of a program like Partition Magic, you are doomed to reinstall.

In the absence of the above, reinstalling is your best option. Not a huge deal, just make sure that you set your partitions and drive sizes correctly this go-round. It's all done in the old school blue screen part of the setup program.

If there is nothing of importance on that "E" drive, I'd just delete all the partitions, then re-create them to appropriate sizes, format, and reinstall.

You could use the gparted live cd. http://gparted-livecd.tuxfamily.org/
