Ian, have you tried formatting the unallocated space with Partition
Magic and then merge it with the nearest partition?

Alan Priol




Now, after formatting, the drive has one large partition but there's
also
8mb of 'unallocated space' on the drive.  Anyone know what the possible
ramifications of this result could be?

I should say that I reformatted it again, with no change.  I also fired
up
Partition Magic 8, thinking that it might be able to remove this
'unallocated space', but PM seems as much in the dark as I am.

Suggestions welcomed.
