Drive Space

by jjayjohn04 . Updated 19 years, 10 months ago

I recently bought a new 120gb hard drive. I took the my old & new drive to work and copied all the info from my 30 gb to my new drive. The problem is that my computer only see 30gb of my new drive. I tried right clicking on my computer then going into disk mgmt to add a new partition but I do not get that option. The format option is grayed out as well so I cannot use this option either. I was wpndering if anyone has any ideas how I can add a new partition or get the computer to see the rest of the space on the drive. I was thinking(but not sure if this would work) installing vmware on my laptop then putting windows xp on the vmware. I was then going to install symantec ghosting software to take an image of my current drive then re-image the drive. The only problem with this is that I do not know how to get the desktop to see the virtual drive on my laptop where the iamge would be located. I welcome any suggestions of how I can get this accomplished.
