My daughter recently acquired a computer with XP Pro and it came with 3.0 GB on the C drive and 1.2 GB on the E drive. It also was in FAT 32 on both partitions. Using the disk management tool I converted all the files to NTFS, so far so good. The C drive was down to 500 MB free and all the space on E drive free. Using the disk management tool I was able to delete the partition for E drive assuming the unused space would go to the C drive. I now have 1.2 GB of unallocated space that I can't get into C drive. I downloaded Partition Manager 6.0 but it couldn't get the space over either. Anybody else run into this and how can I resolve it?

Small drive, but, you can image the C: drive, delete the C: drive partition, make the drive up as one drive, format to NTFS and restore the image to the larger drive.

What value did you get for the bytes in each allocation unit, after the conversion, 4096 or 512?
