Id presume you check on that program thats opened disk management if your hard drive says free space available and shows ur missing gigs. or if its partitioned is there a blank partition.

 

[ITZBVAN005]

i opened it up it is missins gigs its only showing 130 out of 250 gigs

 

[baronvongogo]

but does it say free space = your missing gig space. Or in the diagram does it have a part greyed out or saying not formated or something?

 

[ITZBVAN005]

i found there is a little thing that says unallocated and its 104.83 gb i right click on it and an option either to do primary or extended partion comes up what should ii do

 

[baronvongogo]

erm.. I beleive u`ll want to make an extended partition as a primary is just for operating systems. might want to format the unallocated space first though but be careful! lol
