SERVICE001 Hard drive partition using 200GB!

#1 Post by victoriae10 » Fri Dec 11, 2009 4:02 pm

Hi all!

I have recently restored my X60 using the factory restore disks and it has partitioned my hard drive using over 200Gb for the SERVICE001 partition.

I'm unable to edit it in disk management. Does anyone know how I can resize this partition?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

200GB! Wow, something must have gone wrong. Anyway, I usually use Gparted for re-sizing partitions.
Collection = T500 - R400 - X300 - X200 - T61 (14" WXGA+) - T61 (14.1" SXGA+) - T60 (15" SXGA+) - X40 - T43p - T43 - T42p - A30P - 600E

Another good (and free) program is EASEUS Partition Master.
