I recently installed the Vista 64 bit Beta 2 on my computer and have since
discovered that I seem to be missing some space. I have two hard drives
totaling 200GiB (one 120GiB, one 80GiB, both are SATA drives). However, when
I add up the total of the partitions in Windows Explorer, I come up about
40GiB short. I believe the reason for this may have been that I neglected to
create a final partition on each drive and just left the free space
unallocated. When I am in Explorer, and go to Properties, Hardware, select
one of the two hard drives, click Properties, Volumes, and try to populate
the volumes, Windows confronts me with an alert that reads: "You can not
populate the volumes on this disk. You are not an administrator or backup
operator." Now, since I am the only account on the operating system, I would
assume that I AM in fact the administrator. Unfortunately, Windows does not
agree...can anyone help me out please?? How can I find the missing GiBs and
make them accessable?
