Hi,
I want to install Windows 7 but am having a problem creating a partition. My main drive is a 400GB Hitachi Deskstar. Ever since I got it, Windows XP has only recognised 127GB. I have installed EASEUS Partition Master and it tells me that the the other 244.62GB is unallocated. I have tried to create a partition on this space but it fails every time. I have no idea what to do. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
