Problem Partitioning Drives
Using the custom installation method on the Windows 7 upgrade CD i purchased for another laptop. I nuked the C:\ drive on my PC and created a new one, resizing it so that I had some unallocated space, for which I planned to create a new partition on top of. I'm looking to seperate the Windows 7 OS from the installed 'program files' so that if I ever need to go back to factory settings in the future I can do so without loosing all my installed software/games etc.
At this point I recovered the factory settings from my Recovery partition on the PC, which simply put those files onto the now-smaller C: Drive. This seemd fine. Getting back into Windows 7 I have got Paragon's Partition Manager 2010 open, and it says it does not find any hardrive space it can use, being that my hardrive already has 4 partitions already.
Looking under Disk Management, I see the following, What can I get rid of?:
