Have 60 GB on my disk. Have created 4 partitions each 7
GB's. Remaining 31 GB is shown as unallocated. But when I
try to format the unallocated part, its not allowing me to
do it. When I right click on unallocated space,
the "create partition" option is disabled. Can any one
help me to reclaim the disk space please.

Thanks in advance,
Raj

You can only have a total of 4 primary partitons. I bet all of yours are
primary. You need to delete the last one and then create a new one as
Extended using all of the unallocated space on your drive. Then you create
logical drives in it. Question, why are you creating so many small
partitions as that is not a good use of your space?
