I had ubuntu installed on a 100gb partition (added too many 0's) and after still not liking ubuntu i went and removed it. Now I am out of disc space on my other partition (C:\) and I pretty much can't save a word document i have that little. SO opening up disk management I found the free space, I go to delete the volume to turn it into unallocated space so i can merge it with the C:\ partition and I get an error. There is not enough space available on the disk(s) to complete this operation. funny, do I need a partition bigger than 100gb to do this...I think not Ive done it with a 10gb ubuntu partition. I NEED SPACE HOW DO I FIX THIS t_t (sorry for bad format and writing Im very pissed off right now...I can't do anything ) |

The best thing to do would be to recover the data on the drive using Partition Wizard and then use a third party drive formatter. Search for one on google. |

I may be too late, but I would like to recommend GParted. It's a free, Live-CD partition tool. It can extend, delete, etc. partitions. GParted |
