i had to uninstall windows xp a while back and i cheated myself of a few gbs of hd space. wallbash: My hdd is 150 gb. I had 30 gb of used space before i reinstalled windows. Well that 30 gb i couldn't get back for ANYTHING!. When i was setting it up, i formatted, partitioned and did everything correctly or so it seemed. The cmos settings were saying that i only had 127 gb of space remaining even though this hdd is 150+ gb's. I was just wondering what, if anything i could do to get those 30 gb back... just in case i needed them for something important (...). It's really not that big of deal (hence the reasoning behind me posting this "problem" 5 months later) but i'd really like to know if there is a way that i can get the extra space back w/o having to resintall/partition/reformatting the drive.

Thanks in advance!
