I just bought a laptop for my brother. It is an Acer Aspire 4720z with Vista installed (obviously with with lot of junk). So, I used my Vista disk to reinstall Vista clean. Deleted all partitions and installed it without a problem. When I checked the disk management utility there is 11.7GB "reserved" for an unnamed partiiton marked as "EISA configuration". How would I delete this (and use that space)?

Thanks for all the cooments in advance!
 
Thanks for the quick reply.

Diskpart works with Shift+F10, but I did something else. I used a Windows 98 disk to "delete everything". Windows XP (64bit) cannot delete this (I tried, it didn't work for some reason).

Just recovered 11GB!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
Glad you got it fixed, but...

I can not be the only one who saw that thread title and thought "Extended ISA? Who still uses ISA, let alone EISA?"
 
Heh my first thought was just how old is the damn thing.

I can only imagine how well Vista would run on something that actually used EISA.

It was my first thought too. Gotta love it when they reuse acronyms.

I've still got an old mobo with EISA slots, I think its a 486.
