Guest Jeff Posted October 23, 2007 Posted October 23, 2007 Had Win 2000 on an 80G drive with partitions. The C partition ran out of space. Used the disc setup to format the drive and diskpart at the prompt to attempt to set up partitions. When I get to the section that asks to enter the size I want, the full disc capacity is already entered and I am unable to change it. Any suggestions?

Proper procedure is to partition the drive, then format it. If you are trying to resize the existing partitions, you will probably need a third party partitioning tool. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=partitioning+software Ben
