How do I allocate an unallocated drive?

[websmart]

Hi

 

Have a Toshiba Satellite Laptop... unfortunately due to serious of harsh viruses had to restore entire pc from a backup.

 

O/S Vista Home Premium

Hard drive capacity 149GB

 

Computer Management Control Panel

 

C:drive 74.22 GB NTS - Single Basic, Healthy (Active Primary Partition.)

Drive with no volume displayed - 1.46GB - Simple Basic - Healthy (EISA Configuration)

73.36 GB - Unallocated

Presently the C: drive shows up with the 74.42 GB

 

How do I allocate the 73.36 GB to now become a partitioned E drive

 

Thank you for any help

Hi,

 

If this is Vista you should be able to right click on the Unallocated space ( in diskmanagement ) and select "Format"

You should then be able to right click and allocate a drive letter.
