Cannot create disk partion from unallocated space windows 7

    Hi there,

    I have tried to use the disk management utility to create a disk partition from the remaining space that I had left over after installing windows 7 to my 320gb hard drive.

    During the windows 7 set up, I chose my 320gb hard drive, and created one 100gb partition for windows 7 to be installed into. When I then went down to the remaining space from the hard drive (still in windows 7 set up) there was no option to do anything with the remaining unallocated space, all the options were grayed out.

    Anyways I continued thinking I could use disk manager. I can right click on the unallocated space in disk manager and select 'create new simple volume', and it lets me go through all the set up format options, like how much space, NFTS etc... however when I go to format the disk an error saying "There is not enough space available on the disk to complete this operation". I have tried reducing the size of the partition below its shown capacity, but still no joy.

    Any recommendations?

    Many thanks,
    Coz.

    Hello Could you tell me what you did to enable the simple new partition to be formatted in windows 7 ?

    Thanks
