I'm only seeing 7.83 Gb (with 1.60Gb of that available) of my 40 Gb Seagate
Barracuda. Fresh version of XP Home, Pentium 4, jumpers correct on drive,
freshly re-flashed BIOS on Intel Motherboard. The system shows 29Gb of
"Unallocated" space on the device. FAT32 file sytem. So, how do I get the
other 29Gigs moved into the current 8Gb partition? The Wizard didn't work.
Command Line attempt failed.

Thanks
 
You will need a third party utility like Partition Magic, Acronis Disk
Director or BootIt Next Gen
which has a free trial.

Acronis:

Partition Magic:

As always backup any important data files (documents, photos, music, etc.)
before using such a tool as
there is always a small chance that something can go wrong.
Better still backup you entire C: partition to an external drive or a second
internal drive.
You can use Acronis True Image to do this.
