Hello Brink, Any idea what I did wrong, your tutroials are quite straight forward. How do I extend K: into the 1.40 GB unallocated partition. And will I then see K: in the windows setup. |

This will show you how to extend K into the unallocated partition.
Partition or Volume - Extend I'm afraid that I do not know what you may be doing wrong in the XP installation though. ![]() |

Hi Brink,
do I have to delete Partition K first or do I just follow from step 2.? Partition or Volume - Extend Quote:

From step 2 since that partition is already unallocted that you want to extend into.

Thank you Brink that went great but still K: partition not recognized in Win XP set up, any clues? I'm not doing anything wrong, partition simply isn't recognized. I got one idea let me try this by you, when I set up the K; partition up I gave it a name " Win XP 32 bit K:, should I have in the instance simply assigned it the drive letter K:. Could that be the problem, If so how do I rename it or should I delete the K: partition and start all over? |

Strange. When you get to step 5 in METHOD TWO of the tutorial, what do you see listed in that same image?

Exactly as it appears in step 5 accept in the box mine reads, Unknown disk there is no disk in this drive. There is no disk in this drive 131072MB disk 0 at Id 0 on bus 0 on atapi [MBR] C: Partition1 [unknown] 131072MB 131071 MB free ( this line is high lighted/selected) and to press enter. I quit as I don't want to overwrite Win 7. Please note C; partition1,...... is that how it should read? I ask the question again is there a problem installing a 32 bit OS on a partition created within a 64 bit environment? |

I'm not sure why it doesn't see if for you. It should read C: Partition3 I would think for it.

Still unable to get a partition up and running.
This is what I did last night after receiving further advise. I deleted the partition and then reallocated the space to C:, then started over. I created a 60GB partition K: but this time instead of formating it in NTFS I had an option to do so in ex fat, so choose this, proceeded to install XP but partition is still not recognized in the set up, ( same issue as before ). The thinking behind this was during the XP home upgrade partition set up I have to insert a Window 98SE disk for previous OS installation, (98SE wouldn't recognize NTFS hence the fat format on the partition--------well it made sense to me and it might have worked, ![]() Still not to be defeated, I deleted the partition again, reallocated, created FAT partition but didn't format, and tried to re-install XP, ( but no joy, getting the same issue). I'm flummoxed, either I can create a Fat 32 bit partition within/under Win 7 or I can't. Some further advise was to reinstall Win XP over Win 7 RC and create a partition within XP for Win 7,.........but I'm so not sure on this approach as I have got Win 7 working just great and it's a lot of fussing around. Is the problem the two different file systems on the same HD, as I wrote I can see the K: partition in Disk management and My Computer, I might be missing a step but I don't think I'm doing anything wrong. |
