Hi there,

I bought a 200GB Wester Digital harddrive a few months ago. When I installed windows it only formatted it to be 130GB, so I then used Partition Magic 7 to re partition it to 200GB.

Unfortunately I had to format my hard drive again over the weekend and now it is 130GB again. I tried using Partition Magic 7 again to change it back to 200GB but for some reason I just cant get it to partition the harddrive to 200GB. Partition Magic doesnt give me the option to go further than 130GB.

This is very frustrating as I know I had done it once before but now it doesnt seem to work...

Any helpful tips would be very appreciated.
