Bob, in order to add the free space to your NTFS Partition you will need
a third party program like Partition Magic.
You can create a second partition using Disk Management. Rt click
MyComputer>select Manage>Disk Management.
rt click on the free space and follow the instructions. ie> say yes to
new partition. format once it's created.

I have just upgraded my pc with several new components including a 250 GB
HD. I formatted the HD and loaded Windows XP Pro. I now have the pc
running well and am in the process of re-loading software. Through reading
the helpful ideas on this newsgroup, I have learned about the 137 gb limit
for hard drives. I have downloaded and installed SP 2 which I have read is
necessary for the system to recognize hard drives larger than this 137 gb
limit. I am now stumped. I don't know what my next move should be to be
able to use this unrecognized space on my new hard drive. When I look
under computer management, it indicates that the hard drive (C:\) is 127.99
GB NTFS Healthy and 104.89 GB unallocated. When I look at C:\ under My
Computer it tells me that it has 102 GB free space with a total size of 127
GB. I would like to get to the point where I have a C:\ drive that shows
me 250 GB in one partition. I am hoping to avoid having to divide the hard
drive into 2 partitions to use it. Thanks for any help you might provide.
