ERRR.... Have I done something stupid?!?!

[Stupot_]

Right... received parts for new build today.

i7 860, asus p7p55d, samsung 1tb F3.... etc

Put it all together, and installed windows 7 RC.


I'm just using the one hard drive... so during installation I thought I created a partition for the OS...

I set aside 120GB, windows then created a 100MB partition (that i couldn't install on), a 117.XX GB partition (which i selected to install windows on) and an 800something GB partition.

So, installation went fine, I'm now running windows 7, all looks pretty BUT... wheres my storage partition!

If I go to my computer it shows just one drive (C: ) with 117GB of space, nothing else!

HELP!!!

I'm panicking!!!

Hehe well worst comes to worse I'll just have to reinstall everything but I'd like to know what I did wrong!

Ah, looks promising. I've got disk management open.

Tells me i have:

100MB NTSF - Healthy (system, Active, Primary Partition)
117.09GB NTSF - Healthy (Boot, Page File, Crash Dump, Primary Partition)
814.33GB - Unallocated

Oops!

I can right click on the unallocated space and create a 'simple volume', brings up a wizard.

I shall proceed with this Cheers Paul. *EDIT* and everyone else! Thanks!

Thanks! Although I now have another silly problem! Downloaded the Windows 7 RC a couple of months ago and only installed it last night... I downloaded the 32 bit version... grr! Ah well, will have to wait til the full release.
