So all is well, but when i just my Administrative Tools it says that all my stuff is going on the 20GB partition and the other 230GB on the drive are unallocated. When i got to create a new partition it can only partition up to 23GB per partition, so do i just create 4 partitions or is there something i can do to make it a 230GB partition? thank you all for your input. -Kenny Hill

It will have a utility that will enable you to create 137gb partitions. If you did not receive the disk go to the manufacture's web site and download it. Good luck.
