My laptop (which is a work laptop that I use for personal stuff/imaging as well) HDD has 2 partitions, 20 gig each which keep running out of space thanks to long imaging runs and processing routines. I naturally assumed I had a 40gig drive.
I ordered a 300gig external USB2 drive which should arrive tomorrow.
Anyway was fumbling around looking for something and ended up in device manager, and to my surprise, found that the harddrive is actually 60gig!
Went into disk manager and found 20 gig of
unallocated space! I formatted it and now I have a spare 20 gig!

yay!
But no, i'm not returning my 300gig external drive
