Hello everybody ,I recently had to change my C drive ,I used paragon backup and recovery software to transfer my C drive information over ,this worked fine, and made a new C drive .but I have lost approx 40gb capacity from my new C drive,ie old C drive 120gb new C drive 120gb but new C drive capacity was 160gb,so any clever person know how to get my 40gb back as I would like to use it,is it possible to recover my lost 40 gb
many thanks
peter
Hi Wizzards,
It sounds to me like your new "c" drive is a 120gb partition and your "lost" 40gb is just unallocated space. I bet that paragon created the 120gb partition and dropped all the data into it and ignored the other 40gb. You'll want to expand your 'C' partition. Regardless, your 40gb are not "lost"
Let me know if you need any help with this.

Eduede is probably right.
You should be able to add the 40 GB of unallocated space to your C partition using disk management in Windows 7.
Hi again,
It looks like Brink has already put together a very nice tutorial on how to extend your C partition. Have a look!
