My 300GB (disk 0) Drive shows total Partition sizes adding up to 550GB (I only have one drive). I had bought a CD HDD Caddy to clone my Notebook drive as a backup...but found I had 5 partitions from an earlier use of a Recovery Partition Creation Software exercise. When I deleted and combined two of the partitions so as to have 4 partitions left for a successful Acronis clone, it appeared that my drives partitions added up to almost double my drives capacity (this double capacity was the same even before partition reduction procedure). Everything is working great but it is bugging me that this is appearing as it is in Disk Management this way, and would like it to show properly. Many Thanks in advance for a reply!

notice the 1st partition is 201MB not GB and it is easier to understand now
201 MB + 248.28GB + 34.86GB + 14.75GB = 298.09 which is damn close to what disk 0 says it has.

I can't seem to figure out how to post the Pic. But here is the text version...
Disk 0 Basic 298.09 GB Online
Partition 1 (Black Bar)...201 GB Unallocated
Partition 2 (Blue Bar)...(C: ) 248.28 GB NTFS Healthy, (System,Boot,Page File,Active,Crash Dump,Primary Partition)
Partition 3 (Black Bar)...34.86 GB Unallocated
Partition 4 (Blue BAr)...14.75 GB...Healthy (OEM Partition)

what type of drive is it? have you run any drive tests on it?
how do you have 235gb unallocated on top of 262gb of used space. At least the drive info is correct as that is right size for a 300gb drive
try opening disk management again and click on action/refresh and maybe rescan disks as it has to be an illusion

WD3200BPVT-24ZEST0 matches a Western Digital Scorpio Blue 320GB Internal 5400RPM 2.5" (WD3200BPVT) HDD, so only way you have anymore is if its not that drive. Checking sticker might help I guess

i haven't done that method of sharing images before so I don't know what went wrong. You don't need to reply so much, I may stop answering soon as I need to go to sleep (its almost 6am) but I will look here when i wake up.

OMG That is so embarrassing
OK, Now how do I get rid of it...Was it left over from the recovery partition excersise that I did months ago?
Personally, I'd just leave it.
You're not really losing any space.

201mb isn't worth worrying about, just ignore it
you can't merge it into C as to do that, it would have to be behind C on the drive. So just ignore it. I have 129mb left unallocated on my PC, its not enough to format PC to fix.
