    Unallocated space

    I have replaced a 320gb drive with a freshly formatted 500bg drive and restored an image I made of the old drive. The 500gb drive is showing about 180gb of un allocated space. How can I get this to be usable and the drive to show a single partition of +- 500gb?

    Many thanks

    Assuming windows 7, Start-> search "partition", open up partition program, right click primary partition and extend volume.
