Whats interesting is that in the manage section all of the space is listed.
I wonder if I ever get to that point which figure is correct.
Thanks

original is a 20 G and they send out a 40 G replacement. I usually just
"manage" the drive with the additional space as a second partition with the
next drive letter. I do not know of a way to reclaim all the space within
the same partition. I have been told that Drive Magic or Spin Right will
accomplish this, but it is hearsay. I shy away from using Drive Magic to
mess around with the active system boot partition.
