I have a RAID 0 setup. While the computer was being serviced, I asked for the drive to be partitioned. I made a big error, I wanted a 128 GB partition but the instructions I left said 128 MB. I can't believe I did that. Anyway, would it be prudent to download a trial program just to fix this problem? Anything else?
 
Have u tried windows own partition manager by disk mangement system.(Right click my computer>manage>disk management).

Check out gparted

Well gparted is a linux based program, although it can be used to partition windows vista, (method explained here), but remember, if u dont be careful, data loss chances are very high, and also u will need Vista bootable DVD for that.

I wish someone had told me that when they suggested it lol. It was a bit finicky when I tried it, I gave up in the end but thought it was an operator not program issue.
 
ea*se*us partition master home 3,5. awesome, fast, easy, and FREE

why can't i type ea*se*us without the * to break it up? copyrights? affiliations? is it a curse in another language?

Right Click on My Computer and select Manage.


Then click on Disk Management and you can do whatever you want with the harddrives.
 
Where I am, I think, is this. I have two 640 GB HDs in a RAID 0 environment (drive C). There is a 128 MB allocated partition cut from this (drive L). Using Vista's own tools I shrank the 'C' drive and ended up with a new, unallocated, 104 GB partition. Ideally I would like to expand drive 'L' to include the 104 GB of unallocated space. I would be satisfied to be able to use the new unallocated partition to hold the Photo Shop program. I can't seem to do either. Suggestions?

Why do want to expand drive 'L'?? Right click on the unallocated space a select create a new volume. U will have a new drive, for ur specific purpose.
