I did install with SP1 and then updated with SP2 and then SP3 when that became available. I have tried Disk Management and creating a new partition. The space is described as Unallocated. I get this message -

Logical Disk Manager
The disk configuration operation did not complete. Check the System Event Log for more information on the error. Verify the status of your storage devices before retrying. If that does not solve the problem, close the Disk Management console, then restart Disk Management or restart the computer.

I have tried all of the above. I have tried disk managment software. i did download GParted but have not been able to install it. Not sure why. maybe I am doing somethig wrong but I can't find a Setup file.
