Hey I made a partition and deleted it instead of merging it back. So now I have this unallocated space. And I was wondering how to fix it. I tried the msft drive manger and that didnt help. Any other suggestions? Oh and I also tried with partition managers.
 
I use Paragon Hard Disk Manager 2009, a suite of tools with rich partition-management features combined with partition image backup/restore. Easy to use and reliable.

Paragon has other disk-management apps, as does Acronis.

There are free partition-management apps as well, but I haven't used them.

Hope this helps!
 
Try gparted. It lets me do just about anything to any of my drives/partitions. Its indispensable for me when dealing with drive partition work.
 
Oh. Well that wont work. This is what was a partition and now unallocated space.
 
I use diskpart (just open up the command prompt and run it from there). It's built into Windows.
 
I'd 2nd the Gparted suggestion, I use it to copy and merge partitions. the only problem is when you resize partitions there is a limit the size of each resize operation if the drive is very fragmented or has a big pagefile on it as talked about here :http://gparted-forum.surf4.info/viewtopic.php?id=1396

Otherwise it has worked for me very well and I even use it to make partition backups if I'm messing about that way if I screw up something, I copy my partition back and I'm back im working order.

It even works with my adaptec external firewire enclosure.
