Did you have anything on that drive to begin with? Sorry but I was not clear on whether you did or not. If you do not there is not need to do anything but reformat the unallocated space.
If you did have information you wanted on the disk your course of action will have to recover it in some fashion as {LSK}Otacon already mentioned. Nothing got "messed up" except your understanding of what you were doing when you partioned the drive during the Vista install. It will only format the space allocated by the user i.e the 40GB partion you told it to make. The rest of the space will show up as unallocated in the disk managment snap-in b/c that is exactly what it is, space you did not allocate during the install. If you had information you wanted to keep the appropriate action would have been to partion the drive prior to the Vista install then go about installing Vista on said partion. |
So what you're saying is I can just reformat the unallocated space? I tried right clicking on the unallocated space and there wasn't any reformat option?
