Hey all.

I created a partition a while ago, i was gonna dual boot another OS, but never got around to it.
Today i ran out of space on my main, so i was gonna undo that large partition that was never used.

I have acronis disk doctor and i deleted the partition thinkin it would just add the space back to the main partition... But now i have a very small (and full) partition only... is there something i can do?

Thanks!

What OS? Vista takes ALLOT of space for system restore(XP did too, but you could decrease the amount). Run disk cleanup and recover some space, also use the next tab(more options) to clear old system restore points away(i just recovered 49gigs that way :)).

To get your space back, If on Vista, then right click "Computer" then Manage. Go to disk management and extend the drive(right click it and follow the wizard) to use the extra space.
